“a panic room and shooting range”
Who needs both?
One supposes the act of advertising the panic room publicly sorta kinda leads one to need the shooting range as a back-up. Shut up logic, let’s go look at them perty parts!
Welcome to the eclectic company depository where every current 2021 interior design trend, from maximalist florals to traditional nouveau, has been crammed into one house with the comfort of Japanese rail commuters at 5am. They say fashion is what you buy, STYLE is what you do with it. However, Style is also way to say who you are without having to speak, yet some styles can still leave your ears ringing. You can say this space is Accessorized, I say Excessorized!
We’re told to follow our dreams, but what if we poured those dreams into a cocktail shaker with Pixar, Vera Wang, and Bret Easton Ellis, shook them vigorously, then rolled the contents out like Yahtzee dice until the contents splashed across every surface and fixture in a home? You have arrived at your destination:
I arrived home at precisely 5:01 pm, as meticulously planned, wearing a linen suit by Canali Milano, a cotton shirt by Ike Behar, a silk tie by Bill Blass and cap toed leather lace-ups from Brooks Brothers. My excruciatingly beautiful wife greets me in our Scandinavian French Country Monochromatic Organic Free Range Statement kitchen wearing a Krizia cream silk blouse, an Alexander McQueen rust tweed skirt and silk-satin d’Orsay pumps from Manolo Blahnik. Her whitened smile says we’re eating out, 7pm reservations at Dorsia.
THIS HOUSE IS INSPIRING!!! Act your wage not your shoe size, and if you want to put your money where your month is, then splash that budget all over the walls and halls. This is glorious! How often do we find EVERY single style trend in one place? ONCE…so far.
Look, elegance is the only beauty that never fades. But if you can’t pull that off, chase the latest trends!

“Cedar Sided Cabin is One Bedroom with Other Potential Sleeping Areas”
Every room is a ‘potential sleeping area’ if you’re tired enough, right couch? This Ted Kaczynski toybox is parked on Prescott’s western ridge, just beyond the White Rock trailhead. From up here you’re ten minutes from the town square, yet you’d think it’s a million miles away stepping onto this deck where silence whispers when every pine cone drops. The exterior’s seen more stains than Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation, and the kitchen ceiling watermarks suggest the roof has more holes than OJ’s alibi. The listing shows one bedroom, because we can’t list rooms without doors as bedrooms. However, Cedar House Rules suggest there are three bedrooms; Master Loft (Pic #16)….Guest Bedroom (Pic #25)… Guest Bedroom 2 (Pic #27). Those Guest Bedrooms are open to the view in the lower family room (Pic #24).
It’s a cabin. This is cabin living. For a family retreat, near civilization, yet coned in silence, I can’t recall the last time we found this much for this little. If you’ve ever considered a getaway space for a climate beating break from our solar winds, THIS cedar scented lullaby is something special.

“iconic mid-century modern architecture”
Sell your expertise and you have a limited repertoire. Sell your ignorance and you have unlimited repertoire! The Hot List is a public broadcast of my ignorance’s learning curve, with the hope that you can learn alongside. We don’t know where the housing market is headed, but if we track its best deals daily, we can at least keep an eye on its whereabouts. The majority of inventory that litters this list typically begins with a slew of underpriced properties. These are homes tickling the bottom of the tank. Then we toss some centerfold style sweet things at the end of the list, based purely on looks and extravagances. Seldom do both ends meet.
Today they meet. They meet here. I need to be clear: an $800k home in South Scottsdale is an extravagance. However, if you’re going to spend extravagantly, do it with style baby! Mid-century architecture is timeless, rebellious, different. Function over frivolity. Simplicity is beauty, and the clean lines of this space demonstrate how elegant design performs its soiree without exerting any effort. The crisp cuts of this rear patio area speak more comfort and class than a billion zillion bold maximalist floral patterns ever could. Keep your choir of 2021 interior design guesses, give me this 1950’s feel.
I want a 1950’s home that is single level
A 60’s muscle car that roars like the devil
And give me 1970’s music songs and gritty movies
I want the exuberance from the early 80’s
With the Aqua Net hair of heavy metal ladies
Keep your 1990’s ‘cause those years never did nothin for me
Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
I’M CHANNELING NICKELBACK!?!
Pffft….yikes…
