7702 N MOCKINGBIRD Lane

Just over an acre in Paradise Valley, single level, with Mummy Mountain in view from the pool.

You do not walk into this house. You walk into a courtyard first, past a raised agave planter to antique doors set in carved stone. Inside, the materials are the architecture: stone columns, hand-hewn beams, white walls, stained concrete, exceptionally high ceilings. Steel doors open the living spaces to a covered colonnade and a lap pool edged in cut stone.

Three bedrooms, three baths, 3,350 sq ft, all one level. A chef's kitchen is complete with concrete countertops and polished concrete floors.

Outside: a fireplace courtyard, a walled kitchen garden with raised beds, mature desert landscaping, and a two-car garage with room to expand.
