This historic house on Central Avenue was built in 1947 and was loved by the current owner for years, as it sits on a large corner lot along the city's only tree-lined Bridle Path. While the home had beautiful bones they wanted to preserve, a lot of work was needed. The homeowner/client is a contractor, so any improvements made to the house needed to respect the original architecture versus tearing it down. We wanted to keep the existing materials and match any new materials, like brick/cedar shingles/and stucco needed. New additions like a pool, fire pit area, detached garage, laundry, office and covered patio were added to enhance and tie the property together and make for a fabulous family home!

Desert Architecture Series #2 | Tranquil Arizona Ranch Home
This Candelaria Design home, our Tranquil Arizona Ranch, is the personal home for one of our premiere builders, John Schultz of Schultz Development, and his lovely wife, Denise. The home is traditional in style but embodies the beauty of Arizona living with a touch of European elegance and detail.
It is such a special experience to design a home for one of my best friends and favorite builders along with the team of interior designer, Caroline DeCesare and landscape designer, Jeff Berghoff, all who have collaborated with Candelaria and his team on so many fantastic projects over the years. This home is composed of rich and reclaimed materials creating a comfortable and timeless home.
