Description
Welcome to Skyfire, a breathtaking architectural masterpiece designed by former Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Vernon Swaback as his personal residence. As an Arizona HistoryMaker™ and the founder of Swaback PLLC - Architects + Planners, Swaback is an esteemed figure in Arizona's architectural history, and he has seamlessly blended organic architecture and modern luxury to create this one-of-a-kind home, in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings. Perched on a 2.7-acre elevated lot, Skyfire offers unparalleled privacy and sweeping 360-degree views, from the Sonoran Mountains and Pinnacle Peak to distant Camelback Mountain across the valley floor, while being just moments from world-class golf, shopping and dining. Lush desert botanic gardens greet you as you pass under the Skyfire entry arch. At the heart of the great room is a custom-designed sculptural fireplace echoing the angular forms of the desert. Expansive seamless glass windows frame the natural landscape, while the infinity-edge pool reflects stunning sunsets. Skyfire blends natural elements like exposed steel beams, copper accents, cantilevered rooflines, and tinted concrete with vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and canvas-covered terraces, all designed to create the illusion of living within nature while nestled in the safety of a beautifully engineered interior. Private and luxurious primary suite features custom-built millwork, dual walk-in closets and vanities, a personal fireplace, and direct access to the outdoors. Two additional bedrooms, each with a full bathroom and walk-in closet, provide comfort and privacy for family or guests. A gourmet kitchen features a spacious walk-in pantry, gas cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and a separate wine fridge. The space also includes a casual dining area, a butcher block island with seating, and a convenient kitchen office. An executive office offers panoramic views toward the gardens, mountains and stained glass sculpture, plus a personal fireplace, direct access to the beverage center and a custom-designed desk, all providing the perfect workspace for today’s executive. Welcome your guests with a detached guest house, complete with clerestory windows, a full kitchen and bathroom, fireplace, and private terrace, for guests, multigenerational living, an art studio or a home gym. Multiple Entertainment spaces including an upstairs loft with a pool table connected to a rooftop terrace with breathtaking views, along with a spacious media room that could always be renovated into a fifth bedroom if needed.
