Description

Fabulous Views and Provenance too! This upgraded mid-century home on 1/3 acre lot was one of the original Thunderbird Country Club homes located on the 3rd Fairway of this world-renowned golf course. This home was owned by both the famous musician and composer Hoagy Carmichael as well as owned by Sylvester Weaver, first President of NBC who started The Today Show (Father of actress Sigourney Weaver)...this was their winter home. It has wonderful views of the southern mountains from the living areas of the home, the back patio and pool. In 2019 a 500 sq ft addition was added. Features of this home include an open concept living area with architectural beamed ceilings, a huge double wide stone fireplace, a large island for cooking with a breakfast bar, hi-end stainless steel energy efficient appliances, an energy efficient foam roof, leased and owned solar with 25-year warranty and Tesla Powerwall Battery, new insulated garage doors, 3-zone AC units, new double paned windows, Covered patio with electric louvers and lighting, newly resurfaced back patio, mature fruit trees throughout property and water saving desert landscaping with privacy hedges front and back. The spacious master bedroom has lots of storage and there are His and Hers bathrooms with a marble Roman tub in Hers! The large pebble-tec pool has wonderful views of the mountains beyond. There is also a large extra storage area near the garage. Best of all - within walking distance of the Club House.
