Description

Sublime desert modernism by Alfred Newman Beadle! This rare end unit with dual outdoor spaces offers architectural pedigree and everyday livability. Enjoy the privacy of single-family living with the ease of townhome ownership. Originally designed by renowned modernist architect, Alfred Newman Beadle, AIA, this iconic home embodies Beadle's signature language while incorporating thoughtful, design-forward updates. Tucked into a private corner of Bridgewood Nine 30, this residence is one of just 10 of the larger floorplans offering both a private entry courtyard and a true fenced rear yard. The community itself reads as a cohesive architectural composition, where Beadle's modernist vision is softened by a signature arched wooden bridge, meandering lily pond with aerating fountains, manicured lawns and canopies of mature palm, olive and pine trees. The corner setting is truly distinct, oriented towards a lush common area and set away from the parking, creating a more private, house-like experience. The gated courtyard arrival introduces the home with a sense of vertical drama, where an 16-foot decorative gate and a mature flowering orchid tree rise up to the roofline. A two-story wall of glass at the entry is truly special and reinforces the seamless indoor-outdoor connection central to Beadle's work. It's like living in art! The architecture truly takes center stage here, where monolithic volumes and expansive window walls shape a light-filled interior. The landscape becomes part of the experience throughout the home, but especially in the living room, where the 16-foot tall ceiling and 3 walls of floor-to-ceiling glass bring the outdoors in. The glass walls are oriented to the private front and rear outdoor spaces, with a tall slot window overlooking the lush grounds. A true jewel of the living space, the 16-foot restored freestanding wood-burning fireplace is artfully positioned against one of the glass walls. The interiors have been reimagined with a refined, contemporary sensibility. Continuous LVP 'coastal fog' slate tile flooring flows throughout the first floor. The living room, dining room and kitchen flow effortlessly. Sliding glass doors on both sides of the home extend living outward, creating a true desert modern lifestyle. The kitchen is remodeled with updated flat panel cabinetry, butcher block counters and newer stainless steel appliances. The formal dining room is located off the kitchen, overlooking the rear yard. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths offer flexibility, including a loft-style bedroom with a full-height picture window overlooking the rear yard. The upstairs secondary bedroom overlooks the private courtyard with another floor to ceiling window wall. Both baths have been updated. The upstairs bath has new sink, new fixtures, new butcher block counters, oak vanity and a classic white shower. The downstairs bedroom with adjacent bath offers an ideal guest suite or optional primary suite and opens to the front courtyard with a sliding glass door. The main level bath offers new flooring, new white vanity with solid surface counter, updated fixtures and a classic white shower. A concealed inside laundry space is conveniently located off the dining room. The rear yard is super rare for the community and functions as an extension of the home. A deep overhang frames a dramatic two-story glass wall with recessed lighting and a sliding glass door that opens to a private walled yard. The custom landscape design includes layered outdoor spaces with paver-lined patios, a pergola and decorative gabion walled planter beds with sprinkler system. Not only is this property beautiful, but it offers meaningful updates including: updated foam roof '20, new water heater '25, new HVAC '19 with programmable thermostat, electric updates '21, smart doorbell, restored front gate and new smart lighting and fans in every room. Within Bridgewood Nine 30, residents enjoy resort-style amenities including a community pool framed by iconic Beadle box cabanas, lush landscaping and generous open space. With only a limited number of this floorplan and even fewer offering private rear yards, this residence represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of meaningful architectural history. This unit comes with 2 parking spaces: 1 assigned covered parking space and 1 assigned uncovered parking space. HOA covers exterior and roof maintenance, water, sewer, trash and pool. An exterior painting project is pending, which will dramatically revitalize the community. Ideally located walking distance to Mesa Community College, Oregano's, Starbucks, In-N-Out Burger, Banner Desert Medical Center and Mesa's vibrant Asian District including H-Mart. Convenient access to ASU, Riverview and the 101 + 60. This residence carries a notable architectural pedigree, set within a beautifully composed community defined by Beadle's distinctive modern design.
