The Novak House, a steel post and beam home in North Central Phoenix that was designed by the distinguished Valley architect Alfred Newman Beadle, sold for $1.1M, and was set to close in mid-January. Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty’s Global Real Estate Advisor Colby Schmeckpeper represented buyer Christy Kimball, an Arizona native and long-time local businesswoman with operations in both Phoenix and Los Angeles.
The exceptional home, originally known as the “Hawk’s Nest,” was the second-to-last home Beadle built before he passed away and features a sharp, triangular form and unique geometry.
Located at 1340 E. Las Palmaritas Drive, The Novak House features two bedrooms plus an office and 2.5 bathrooms. Completed in 1994, the recently expanded and renovated home offers approximately 1,873 square feet of living space.
Offering modernist architecture at its finest, the home is ideally positioned on a gentle mountain slope to maximize panoramic views of both the cityscape and nearby mountains. Built with quality craftsmanship, it stands as an embodiment of Beadle’s mastery in integrating his designs with the natural surroundings.
Each room is strategically positioned to capture the awe-inspiring vistas, creating an immersive experience that integrates nature with architecture. The home offers both privacy and connection to the vast, beautiful desert surroundings, and provides ample space for comfortable living while maintaining its minimalist elegance.
The lot size of more than 10,000 square feet provides room for relaxation or outdoor entertainment, further enhancing the home’s connection to its magnificent location. The unique geometry of the house maximizes the use of natural light, enhancing its energy efficiency while inviting the beauty of the desert into every room.
