PLEASE JOIN US AT 11234 N 15TH LANE PHOENIX, AZ 85029 

 With Valley midcentury and original organic architectural homes becoming so rare, this highly regarded Phoenix marvel, designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright alumni and protégé Paul Christian Yaeger, is situated upon nearly one acre directly tied to the mountain Preserve at Shaw Butte, North Mountain. As one of just two Yaeger homes on all of North Mountain, this noteworthy Residence is the last that Mr. Yaeger built, completing in 1983. (Others, dating from the 50’s forward, may be found principally in the Biltmore and Paradise Valley areas.) Thoughtfully and respectfully upgraded with designs and features ratified by the architect’s Library Curator, this lofty home sits high and commands a near 260° view of the entire Valley. From it’s over 1000 sq. ft.

of view decks one sees Tempe, the Phoenix Airport, all of Downtown, even the Cardinal's stadium, as well as the 4,500-ft. tall Estrella and 4,000-ft. White Tank Mountains; not to mention ever-stunning sunrises and sunsets all year 'round. 

The home typifies a magical merging of inspiration and architecture. It is an ever-comfortable joy to reside within, and also to host guests. Various tours have been conducted at the home as it enjoys enviable recognition amongst the Arizona architectural community.

The house boosts masterful craftsmanship and organic features as well as an open floorplan and interiors of natural stone, a tall sloping main ceiling, wood beams and unique wall angles all of which blend to present a warm, lodge-like comfort.

With direct backyard access to one of Phoenix's best mountain trails, the Preserve surroundings are protected and no future houses may be adjacently built. 

The home presents a tradition of classic midcentury luxury and every single room has views to the mountains or city below. 

Highlights include natural marble floors in the large living room and open kitchen, which provides multiple pantries and top-of-the-line chef's equipment (Sub Zero, Viking, Thermidor and Bosch). Handmade polished concrete counters and woodwork built in the Wright tradition of understated yet progressive design are all highly functional. 

Other rooms have real bamboo and white oak flooring plus natural fiber wall treatments. 

Both bedrooms overlook the city and have their own full baths and walk-in closets.

The main upstairs master suite presents even more impressive views and is akin to a mountain retreat with its large redwood deck and many windows. Dual sinks with the architect's original crafted cabinets, an upstairs Sub Zero refrigerator, clever laundry shoot and large step-in / step-down bathtub with separate shower all look privately up upon stunning mountain rock formations and Sonoran Desert flora. Even the sizable walk-in closet room gazes down upon the city. 

The home's lifetime roof is a stunning contemporary design made of highly durable aerated and formed concrete which also forms the various "peaks" that Wright and Yaeger homes are often famous for.  

No power lines are seen running to the home, just remarkable, unrestricted views of mountain Preserve nature and miles of Phoenix city landscape below. 

Other Wright-esque highlights include an impressive wide gray block fireplace, natural fieldstone walls, a hand-crafted spiral wood staircase and long sitting bench running full-length under the main living room view windows. Custom canvas awnings on stainless cables provide sunshade for relaxing on the main deck. The central HVAC is Nest controlled and hidden from sight. You'll also love the convenience of the 2-car garage with wall cabinets. And, unusual in Phoenix, there is a long storage crawl space the length of the building's top floor. 

The Laundry Room is nicely laid out and has its own half bath. Additionally, a tool, work and craft room sits off the garage. 

Discovering a highly-regarded Phoenix mountain property with an eye-catching significant design is rare. You will enjoy booking an appointment and touring this wonderful home with us. Don't delay considering an important piece of Phoenix's midcentury-contemporary architecture and history!!!!
