RISMedia spoke with listing agent Jill Brenenstuhl of RETSY and the founder of PV Luxury Real Estate Group to explore the architectural vision behind the estate, its custom amenities and how this Great Space reflects shifting buyer demands in the Paradise Valley market.
Paige Brown: What makes this a Great Space?
Jill Brenenstuhl: This property is a Great Space because of the attention to detail and natural artistry throughout. Thoughtfully curated architecture, natural materials, rich textures and distinctive finishes create a sense of artistry without ever feeling cold or overly formal. Each window offers a curated view, whether it’s the beautifully highlighted Joshua Tree in the foyer or the artful way the mountain is framed from the primary bedroom. There are thoughtful vignettes throughout the home that make this space feel as much organic art museum as home, but with the warmth available from both spheres.
PB: Designed and built by Nick Hammond of Diamond West Construction, this contemporary estate blends mid-century modern architecture with clean, single-level living. How does this home’s scale and structure capture the signature modern desert aesthetic that buyers are looking for?
JB: This home represents a warmer, more contemporary take on the traditional modern architecture many have become accustomed to seeing. Subtle yet elegant earth tones have been blended throughout to bring the warmth of the desert into the space. By bringing the texture of the exterior stone into the interior, it seamlessly integrates the indoor-outdoor livability of the home while adding interest. The scale and structure of the property is what today’s modern luxury buyer is looking for, where the main entertaining spaces are more expansive and open, but the private spaces are more cozy and intimate. Every space feels curated, inviting and deeply personal. This is a home designed to be admired, but even more importantly, lived in.
PB: This estate is designed as a true compound, featuring a full detached guest house and an attached casita. How does this multi-structure layout support privacy for multigenerational living and hosting?
JB: Once you enter through the monumental steel gate, you truly feel like you are in your own private world. The multi-structure layout creates a true compound, flowing from the entry courtyard into the main body of the home and out into the expansive entertaining courtyard that opens tastefully to the well-appointed guest home. There is plenty of luxurious space for family, friends and staff. This layout allows for flexibility and seamless multigenerational living or hosting, providing space for everyone to feel at home. This property is more than a home; it is a private sanctuary.
PB: As luxury living shifts from basic home gyms to holistic wellness spaces, what specific design elements and amenities were built into this estate’s custom wellness center to create an elevated, resort-level retreat at home?
JB: In this modern market, a savvy luxury buyer expects so much more than just a basic home gym. Buyers of this caliber value not having to leave home to experience resort-style amenities. The crown jewel of our wellness center is the spacious sauna, which was created by hand by a local artisan as opposed to a prefabricated sauna like many new homes at this level incorporate. The wellness center also has an integrated sound system and a state-of-the-art cold plunge to assist with muscle recovery and general well-being. Complete with a private shower, this one-of-a-kind wellness center is the ultimate in home recovery.
PB: With fall being a key time for savvy buyers seeking turnkey luxury without spring competition, how does this home reflect what buyers are currently prioritizing in Paradise Valley?
JB: This home reflects what a savvy luxury buyer prioritizes, which is a prime location, exquisite finishes, state-of-the-art smart home technology and, above all else, privacy. Not only is there less competition in the fall compared to the spring, but a purchase at this time will allow the homeowners to spend the holidays in their new private desert oasis. A fully finished newly built home like this offers the opportunity to secure a move-in ready luxury lifestyle in the heart of Paradise Valley without waiting years for a future build or taking on a lengthy renovation.
