Towering home offers stunning Arizona vistas

Envisioning a home shared with no other households (except for nearby apartment towers), and height isn’t an issue? Then look up — wayyyyy up — at this Prescott, Ariz.-based home now for sale.

At 124 feet, the tallest singlefamily house in North America — nicknamed Falcon Nest — was constructed in 1994, the brainchild of Phoenix-based architect Sukumar Pal. He designed it as a versatile tower that could be repurposed in the future as a ranger station, educational centre or even a bed and breakfast. The 6,200-squarefoot home’s major selling points, though, are the views of the surrounding mountains, peaks and buttes to make its interior feel like the modern treetop home.

Its tower currently contains three floors of living space, said listing agent Frank Aazami.

A hydraulic elevator brings residents from the garage level up to the three-bedroom, four-bathroom abode, which also features a spiral staircase, fireplace and glass ceilings.

The home was listed for sale in 2015 at roughly US$2.8 million, and underwent numerous price changes before its current — and reduced — asking price of US$1.5 million was posted on March 8.

The Palsolaral House also looks as if could be an evil villain’s lair, according to the home’s listing at Estately.com.

Or perhaps it could be considered an air traffic control tower, especially with its 2,000-square-foot solarium, featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, great room plus those glass ceilings!
