Description

The Kenaston Residence, E. Stewart Williams, 1957 is sited on over a half-acre, street-to-street lot near Thunderbird Country Club in the Desert Ranch Estates neighborhood. This authentically restored home utilizes the hallmarks of the Mid-Century Master's style: Walls of glass, floating fireplace, cantilevered roof lines, boulder walls that appear to float over water, & gleaming walnut wood panels. Spacious rooms flow easily from indoors to open & covered patios, pool & spa that defines desert living at its finest. Interiors include living & dining rooms, large den/media room, center-island eat in kitchen, dual master suites + 2 additional guest bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The home has been published multiple times, including the infamous Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie spread in W Magazine. Designated on the RM Register of Historic Places, the Kenaston Residence takes advantage of the CA Mills Act which provides for substantial property tax abatement. There are garages for 4 cars as well!
