Tranquility and beauty await you at Avenida del Sol. A front courtyard wall creates a sense of mystery from the street. Through the gate, the mortar-washed stone walls and mature trees envelope you in privacy. The setting sun filters through mature olive trees. Tumbled limestone floor feels cool underfoot. The stucco color is a custom blend, designed to give a clean aesthetic during the day, and warms softly like the glow of candlelight during late afternoon and through dusk. Meant to delight the senses, the calming sound of water flowing through custom brass spouts, crafted to look like antique fountain spouts with bucket hooks. An old-growth Ironwood tree salvaged from the desert grounds the entry courtyard. Natural stone walls and limestone path lend a casual elegance to the architecture.and the flicker of gas lanterns are just a few of the custom touches throughout the property. The vision behind Avenida del Sol was to create a space that invites you to slow down, unplug and savor life in the desert. This is a property meant to be experienced in person, though we hope you enjoy the pictures. :) A light-filled and inspiring space with reclaimed wood ceiling beams, selected for their history; taken from a midwest barn dating back at least a century. A custom system of 10-foot pivot doors topped by transom windows opens to the backyard. Limestone floor runs seamlessly from indoors to out. Curated items give a sense of soul to the home - like this salvaged limestone trough, originally 18-feet long, repurposed as a floating hearth. A subtle plaster treatment on the fireplace offers an organic texture. 8717 N AVENIDA DEL SOL, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253 The same custom pivot system as the living room opens seamlessly from the dining room to the front courtyard. Handwoven shades of the custom light fixture float above the dining table and sway with the breeze when the pivot doors are open. 8717 N AVENIDA DEL SOL, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253 White oak cabinetry, a plaster range hood echoing the shape of the grand fireplace and natural stone countertops offer a natural, timeless aesthetic.
