Built to perfection around the Equinox and the Mountain views, this truly distinctive modern estate, Essence of the Desert, was architect Amit Upadhye's first residential design. It was featured in Dwell and Phoenix Home & Garden. It won national awards from Sub Zero for its kitchen. Its quality of build and use of light are exceptional. Set on more than an acre, with a north facing rear yard, this architecturally significant residence pairs bold modern design with exceptional livability, featuring poured-in-place concrete & block construction, floor-to-ceiling glass, seamless indoor-outdoor living. The main home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, an office, a gym, and a 4 car garage, complemented by a fully self-contained 2 bed guest house with its own kitchen, laundry, & garage. A resort-style pool, a ramada with a fire feature, and an expansive lawn create a private backyard retreat, completing this unique, timeless, and beautiful home
