The GRANDE DAME of Thunderbird Terrace. Luxurious living + unmatched entertaining. Architect Paul Froncek is known for his modern-day recreations of classic styles. His Paxton Drive restoration lasted many years. At over 10,000 square feet, this magnificent home and surrounding compound feel surprisingly intimate. Storied Thunderbird Country Club is the backdrop. A series of well-defined spaces create a sense of wonder at every turn. Formal living + dining line a magnificent central hall opening to a series of terraces. A handsome bar, a bit hidden actually, reveals itself in a magical way. An enchanting mix of formal and casual doesn’t come at the expense of functionality. The chef’s kitchen, breakfast room, and sitting area perfectly illustrate this intentional design choice. An expansive media room is yet another destination in a home full of surprises. Bedroom suites are configured off three wings of the home. The master bath is the stuff of legend, a series of spa-like rooms in the spirit of Louie XIV. More often than not, direct patio access is featured throughout. Effortless indoor-outdoor living is a theme. Formal pool terrace with its “polo lounge” enjoys stunning Santa Rosa Mountain views and a breathtaking fountain, one of several around the property. The MAGIC of such a home will provide JOY for years to come. Enjoy it all.
