Desert Modern Luxury: Inside a Paradise Valley Estate Featuring the ILVE Nostalgie II 60-Inch Range
In the quiet elegance of Paradise Valley, Arizona where desert mountains meet refined architectural living, a new estate has emerged that captures the essence of modern luxury design.
This brand-new 2024 residence, spanning nearly 8,700 square feet across 1.18 acres, is more than a home. It is a carefully orchestrated statement in architecture, craftsmanship, and lifestyle design.
Built by E&S Builders, designed by John Anthony Drafting & Design, and curated by TheLifestyledCo, the property blends warm organic textures with contemporary desert modern architecture.
At the center of the home’s most important space, the kitchen, sits an appliance that defines both function and form:
The ILVE Nostalgie II 60-inch Dual Fuel Range.
And it does far more than cook.
It anchors the entire room with timeless luxury, as the Rolex for your kitchen, if you will…
A Kitchen Designed as an Architectural Experience
Luxury kitchens today are no longer hidden workspaces. They are architectural focal
points that shape how a home feels and flows.
In this Paradise Valley project, the kitchen was designed with intentional restraint and sculptural balance:
- Burdette custom Greige cabinetry
- An 11.5-foot white oak island
- Warm brass hardware accents
- Natural stone surfaces
- Layered neutral palettes
- Exposed wood beams overhead
Large sightlines allow natural desert light to wash through the space, connecting indoor
living with Arizona’s dramatic landscape.
Instead of competing with the architecture, the appliances were selected to complement and elevate the design language.
That is where the ILVE Nostalgie II enters the picture.
