A rare mid-century architectural gem in the Prestigious Thunderbird Heights, attributed to renowned architect Howard Lapham built in 1958. This nearly 4,200 sq ft Pool Home Estate offers a total of 5 Bedrooms and 5 Bathrooms.

Ideal for entertaining, the home features authentic flagstone floors, slump stone accents, a reimagined period-appropriate kitchen, and panoramic mountain views from both north and south-facing patios.
The impressive yard is over an acre and offers room for expansion, a tennis court or the most spectacular yard in the Valley.
Enjoy modern comforts with updated HVAC and a newer roof, plus dual gated driveways for privacy and a grand sense of arrival. A 3-car garage and 2-car carport provide ample parking for collector vehicles and golf carts. Direct golf cart tunnel access to Thunderbird Country Club adds convenience and prestige.
