About this home
Welcome to an evolution of a Ralph Haver home, where preservation and modern refinement coexist in architectural balance. This treasured architecturally-significant c.1957 Ralph Haver, AIA residence in Starlite Vista is a study in early desert modernism. Extending the architectural narrative outward, the $130,000+ curated rear yard design represents a significant investment, featuring a luxury pool, deck with hot tub, steel pergola with outdoor kitchen and a modern 32' x 12' multi-use detached building with climate-controlled 1 car garage/workshop and dual climate-controlled office spaces.
With its sprawling elevation, native stone planter beds and flood-irrigated lawn, the home is giving quintessential North Central vibes. Signature Haver elements include block construction low-sloped roof, vaulted + beamed ceilings, clerestory windows and shadow block accent wall. While the exterior's mid-century facade is preserved, the interiors embrace a contemporary aesthetic with sunlit spaces that flow naturally.
The original floorpan is reconfigured, doubling the size of the living area, without compromising the architecture. Authentic mid-century bones are layered with new updates, striking the perfect balance between preservation and modern appeal. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams create volume, while clerestory and picture windows invite soft natural light. Porcelain tile floors create visual continuity throughout the living spaces. The adjoining formal dining room offers versatility, serving as a perfect formal dining space, but could also function as an expanded great room/living area.
The redesigned kitchen offers generous workspace and refined material selections. The open configuration connects kitchen, dining and living areas in a way that feels natural and balanced. Expanses of white shaker cabinetry are topped with quartz countertops featuring dual waterfall edges, creating a polished and enduring aesthetic. The marble tile backsplash adds depth and texture. The appliance suite includes newer gas range/oven with matte black range hood, French door refrigerator and dishwasher. A substantial island anchors the space, offering generous seating that also serves as an elegant gathering point for everyday living and effortless entertaining. A casual dining area is located off the kitchen, overlooking the rear yard.
The home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 baths including TWO primary suites. The 2017 permitted, split 2nd primary suite addition encompasses over 400 square feet of new space with vaulted ceilings that echo the essence of the original home. The new primary bathroom is finished with porcelain floor tile, classic vanity with quartz counter and a tiled shower. Secondary bedrooms retain vaulted ceilings and exposed block walls.
The epic rear yard is a true 10/10! Reimagined by landscape architecture firm Coffman Studios, the rear yard reflects a composed modern framework where structure, water and landscape are carefully aligned. The yard unfolds as a love letter to Arizona, designed to ground you in the slow rhythm of desert living. The luxury pool offers an elongated Baja shelf with umbrella sleeves, iridescent tile and updated mechanical systems including LED color wheel light and a variable-speed pump. 3 custom deck jets introduce mesmerizing arcs of water across the pool's surface, while expanses of premium Shellac pavers adorn the pool decking and coping, extending seamlessly to the home's covered patio. A contemporary steel pergola establishes a defined outdoor space, along the pool's edge. The custom outdoor kitchen, clad in patterned tile and substantial stained cedar wood paneling, integrates a built-in BBQ with rotisserie, sink, task lighting and generous prep surfaces within a clean linear composition. Adjacent dining area is positioned beneath bistro lighting and a ceiling fan, perfect for enjoying meals poolside. An elevated Trex deck with integrated step lights supports a 6-person Bullfrog spa, offering a wellness element for prime relaxation surrounded by stained cedar privacy screens. The landscape features a wonderful variety of desert-adapted plantings with a natural lawn and mature hedging provides additional cultivated privacy. The yard also offers a peaceful garden space with raised planter beds and adaptable sitting areas. The cohesive outdoor environment supports year-round enjoyment with architectural integrity.
Another standout in the rear yard is the modern, climate controlled, site-built 32' x 12' detached, multi-use structure. With 3 French doors, it overlooks the stunning rear yard + pool and offers exceptional versatility beyond the main residence. The building channels mid-century modern design with its angled roofline + vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows and durable galvanized steel roof. The ultimate solution for vehicle/toy storage, workshop/studio/creative/hobby space or even a home-based business. It is currently set up with a 1-car garage/workshop ('16 x 12') and 2 separate climate-controlled office spaces. The two dedicated office spaces could be combined into a larger unified space (16' x 12'). The garage and offices are finished with wood clad ceilings, recessed lighting and French doors, with each space offering a dedicated AC unit. The garage is currently utilized as an air-conditioned workshop. With its size, the structure offers meaningful flexibility for future adaptive use, including potential conversion to a casita or guest retreat.
Notable improvements include a permitted updated electrical panel '17, new HVAC '18 main house / '20 detached structure and new roof main house '18 / detached building '20 and all dual pane windows throughout both structures. In addition to the attached original 2 car carport, there is a side RV gate allowing access to the detached 1-car garage, along with a separate storage shed.
Located on a non-through, cul-de-sac within Starlite Vista, one of North Central's most celebrated Haver enclaves, the property carries an architectural pedigree in a delightful neighborhood defined by unique mid-century design.
