Entertain in the grandest manner from the commanding entry portico protecting the lush, private garden to the magnificently graceful spaces, at the center of Villa Central. The splendid formal rooms are decorated by tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, arches, Doric columns, and exquisite cathedral glass doors and arched windows. An impressive entrance is lined with a hexagon clay terracotta tile extending throughout the home, a crucial element to classical Spanish colonial design. A lovely traditional mantel surrounds the gas-burning fireplace, one of three in the home. Gleaming hardwood cherry floors cover the formal living and dining rooms, which ascend the patterned wrought iron staircase to the 2nd floor and its secondary bedrooms and wrap-around balcony. The meticulous features and decorations of Villa Central continue in the tongue-and-groove cupola hovering over the staircase and the master bathroom. All these beautiful elements combine to form extraordinary and sumptuous detail, ideal for memorable social events with family and friends. In addition to the marvelous formal spaces, cathedral glass flanks the fireplace in the family room bringing the outside in and leading you out to the spacious yard. Immediately adjoining you'll find a wrap-around veranda perfect for winding down in front of a roaring fire or having more intimate occasions outside by the pool. Enjoy meals prepared in your outdoor kitchen or simply enjoy the sounds of the waterfall while enjoying Arizona weather and sunsets.

Single-Family Residence District
A basic purpose of these regulations is to foster the creation of living areas which can assist the establishment of stable, functional neighborhoods. An established pattern of living in this metropolitan area reflects a tradition of single-family occupied dwellings which also emphasize outdoor living. Many of these dwellings are thereby located on relatively large urban or suburban lots.; These regulations provide standards for dwellings built at low and moderate densities. While the predominant housing type is expected to be single-family dwelling, provisions are made for alternative housing types within the same density limits.
