Designed by Vernon Swaback, Architect and Apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright. The construction of this residence took nearly 3 years. With its angular and flowing lines combined with features of copper and limestone, this home is both majestic and yet quietly refined.

With its graceful curving cove lines, the angular skylight brings a sculptural dimension and great drama to the 2,100+ square foot exceptional Great Room. The home's lighting system creates a candle-lit ambience and magical intimacy. The exceptionally appointed recessed bar features a TV concealed beneath an operating panel that slides out of view with the push of a button. The stunning gallery entry hall to the Master Suite includes recessed fine cabinetry on either side and the suite offers beautiful cherry floors. The interior designer divided the incomparable great room into ideal seating arrangements for visiting, family dining and for entertaining either intimate or large gatherings. The home is accessed through its distinctively paved circular driveway's electronic gate. The view of the Porte-Cochere from the home's front entry. The Brazilian hand-scraped cherry floors, beautiful limestone and travertine were masterfully designed and installed in this home.

The Dining area of the Great Room is perfectly situated for family dining with its view of the home's remarkable surroundings. For large gatherings the table can expand to several times its length beneath the phenomenal Great Room's skylight that's truly like no other.

The East one has served a home office and the West bedroom and the balcony both have access to the great terrace offering a wonderful view of Piestewa Peak and it also overlooks the grounds and the Estates Golf Course. The cozy area for seating at the corner of the covered patio includes another beautifully crafted fireplace. This patio off the Great Room is lined with limestone columns with copper details and the flooring was artistically designed using limestone and travertine. The spacious patio between the home and the guest house is a wonderful entertaining area that includes a wet bar and a cooking area with a stainless steel BBQ. The architectural details of this residence whether high or low are exceptional and the views from this property are exceptional, as well. The upstairs includes a lovely terrace with views of Piestewa Peak, the grounds and the Estates Golf Course. The location of 15 Biltmore Estates Dr. offers picturesque views of the Arizona sunsets. The artistically designed copper fountain features cascading water that flows into the pool. The delightful ramada is a quiet spot adjacent to the pool offering a great view of the golf course and the grounds. This home's resort-like grounds with its pool and patios are extraordinary.
