Set on a private, lush drive off Camelback Rd sits a refined interpretation of Spanish Colonial architecture. This residence blends authentic old-world materials with a calm, contemporary sensibility. Set on a .77-acre lot with striking Camelback Mountain views, the home pairs warm minimal interiors with globally sourced artisan details, creating an atmosphere of quiet, textural luxury. The custom kitchen is both sculptural and functional, featuring bespoke cabinetry with unlacquered brass hardware, an oak-stained island with farm sink and bridge faucet, and paneled Fisher & Paykel refrigeration and dishwasher. A statement ILVE range anchors marble countertops in Calacatta Gold with ogee edge and full slab backsplash. Antique doors introduce patina and character, while an adjacent butler's pantry offers white oak shelving, wood countertops, wine refrigeration, and abundant storage. Hand-applied Roman clay walls and surrounds enrich the range hood, fireplace, and all baths, complemented by custom Murano sconces and handmade solid brass lighting throughout. White oak flooring flows through serene living spaces softened by linen draperies and framed by custom iron doors and additional antique architectural elements. The generous primary suite is a private retreat with soaking tub, dual custom white oak vanities, antique mirrors with hand-forged brass frames, Turkish limestone floors, and a Zellige tile shower enveloped in Roman clay walls. Secondary baths continue the material story with Spanish ceramic tile, Calacatta marble mosaics, solid unlacquered brass plumbing, and an antique marble-topped vanity. The powder bath is wrapped in dramatic Breccia Capraia marble. Outdoors, Saltillo-tiled patios overlook refreshed pool finishes with Zellige waterline tile and mini-pebble interior, all set within expansive grounds oriented to Camelback views. A travertine-paved entry courtyard with limestone trough fountain completes the home's layered Mediterranean narrative. Timeless Spanish roots, Moorish influence, and warm minimal restraint converge in a residence that feels both historic and distinctly modern.

ARCADIA CAMELBACK SPD
CAMELBACK ROAD OVERLAY
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.
