Originally constructed with fired adobe brick in 1968, the home featured three bedrooms and a large courtyard overlooking the creek panorama. The renovation honored the strong shell of the home. The only floor area added is the new media room within a former one-car garage.

However, the renovation completely gutted the original 1968 interior, raised the ceilings and created a fabulous one-bedroom home.

In the kitchen, copper accents include a hammered copper counter and splash. The main countertops are Silestone. The cabinets are a mix of maple with a natural finish and grooved panels painted green. The kitchen overlooks the living room and the dramatic view beyond. The new raised ceilings with exposed structural beams offer airiness and drama.

In a separate new ranch-style building are the guest quarters, ceramic workshop and kiln, and a three-car garage.

The fireplace facing was also renovated. The owner, Diane Briney, is a ceramist and created these beautiful fireplace tiles. The coyote on the hearth is also her work.

New features added to the home include a private pool and spa located adjacent to the master suite.

The spa, with red rock waterfalls, is on the very edge of the cliffs above Oak Creek.

In the fantastic central courtyard is a new koi pond with another red rock fountain. The courtyard's original concrete paving was stained and grouted to resemble tiles.
