Fully updated, the Novak House offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.

With 2 bedrooms, an office, and 2 baths spread over approximately 1,873 square feet, the house provides ample space for comfortable living while maintaining its minimalist elegance.
A highly detailed and extremely well-integrated expansion created a much-needed dining/gathering space, as well as a superb connection to the site. Beadle’s rigid geometry was mirrored in the design, which includes the addition of a heated in-ground spa, a circular patio, and an in-ground fire feature.
The modern materials and sleek finishes contribute to the timeless appeal, while the triangular shape continues to make it a standout feature in Phoenix’s architectural landscape. The lot size of over 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.
