Talk about a desert dream home! This minimalist unicorn brings the vibes and then some, with a $200,000+ transformation that honors its mid-century roots while dialing up the modern edge, including a brand new pool just completed in April 2026. This mid-century modern home was originally designed by architect, Frank Fazio, AIA and has kept its architectural soul intact, with a fresh, design-forward twist. Set on a generous lot, the curb appeal hits immediately with curated, native landscape, custom mailbox, sculptural plantings + art and glowing architectural lighting hung from the mesquite trees. Privacy is primo here. An 7' tall galvanized steel entry wall secures the magic that unfolds beyond it. It's equal parts art and architecture, with a rebellious spirit. Lovingly reimagined, this is not just a home, it's a whole desert lifestyle moment. An intuitive open floorplan showcases impeccable designer finishes, where every detail feels intentional and refined. The home is unified by thoughtful detailing, natural light and a strong sense of character, creating a space that feels both calming and elevated. Desert-inspired wallpaper creates a playful, design-forward moment, while durable low-VOC, waterproof wood laminate plank floors anchors the living spaces and bedrooms. Dual-pane windows and doors enhance both efficiency and comfort. The living room invites seamless indoor-outdoor living with sliding glass doors opening to the covered rear patio. The space is complemented by recessed lighting and a modern ceiling fan.Sleek, modern finishes elevate the kitchen into a stylish space to cook, create and gather. Shaker-style cabinetry pairs with butcher block counters, designer backsplash and new appliances including range/oven, built-in microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. A large workstation sink features a commercial-style faucet with separate waterfall mode and integrated strainer, blending function with a touch of chef-inspired flair. Meals can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar, off the living room or al fresco at one of many outdoor spaces. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, arranged in a split layout that gives way to a primary suite with a fully reimagined bath. Rich in texture and tone, the bath is anchored by a zellige-inspired tiled walk-in shower with glass block panel, integrated niches and luxe fixtures, complemented by a floating wood vanity with honed black solid surface sink, illuminated mirror and smart bidet toilet. Secondary bedrooms feature distinctive corner windows that introduce light and architectural interest. The hall bath is designed as spa-like wellness space, with a freestanding soaking tub, wall-mounted shower elements and integrated niches. Scandinavian-inspired fluted oak-finish porcelain tile lines the walls, paired with a floating vanity, honed black solid surface sink and illuminated mirror, with a smart bidet toilet adding to the sensory experience.Good looks with practical updates-yes please!

Pavers define the poolside and secondary entertaining patios, while a brick-lined covered patio offers shaded retreat.

Layered landscaping, from ficus-lined block walls to hopseed, agave, mesquite, Bougainvillea and ornamental grasses, creates a sculptural, ever-changing backdrop.
