A beautiful example of modern desert architecture. Designed by Tucson architect Stephen Robinson, this Catalina Foothills gem is sited on a ridge top to take in 360 degree views of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Rincons and downtown Tucson.

The 1.5 acre estate offers a magnificent solar-heated 75 foot true lap pool, a greenhouse and Zen Garden, an eclectic cactus collection including Boojum trees, and many varieties of citrus.

There is a perfect balance of clean lines, minimalist forms, and floor to ceiling glass walls. Updated with only the finest quality materials, and in keeping with the architectural intent of the original design, this 3,550-square-foot home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 kitchens featuring teak cabinetry (a main level Chefs kitchen and a lower pool kitchen), dining and living areas, and a media room.

The residence is privately tucked away on one of the quietest cul-de-sacs in Sunrise Presidio.
