Property Description
*First Time on the Market*. Owned and lovingly cared for by the family who built it in 1975, this modern urban oasis is an environmentally sensitive response to the desert climate. Designed by architect and former UofA Dean of Architecture, Chuck Albanese, this modern residence is a masterclass in desert-sensitive design. The intentional L-shape utilizes western storage buffers and deep-set courtyard porches to masterfully manage heat gain while inviting the outdoors in. Cited in the National Register of Historic Places records, preserved with its original mahogany doors, high beamed ceilings, custom aesthetic, and located in Historic El Montevideo, this Albanese original represents a rare opportunity for the architectural collector. The original sprawling floor plan features

four bedrooms and an office/5th bedroom. The spacious library was added in 2008 and could easily be converted into a second en-suite or a guest quarters, or used as a professional's office. A sophisticated kitchen boasts Alder cabinetry, Quartz counters, and a professional-grade appliance suite including a Wolf gas cooktop, Viking warming drawer, and Bosch oven, while the vintage tile baths offer a nod to 1970's charm. A long, east-facing patio provides a peaceful place to enjoy the sunrise or gather with friends and family in a fully walled, very private courtyard. Peace of mind is built in with a standing-seam metal roof over the main house, a 2-car garage, separate storage room/workshop, and owned solar.
