Welcome to The Lorna House.

The current owner/architect's vision for the Lorna House renovation was to maintain the home's integrity, while incorporating new design elements that compliment and update the original structure. All of the major systems have received updates, including the AC/heating, roof, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and pool equipment. An organic palette wraps the home, both inside and out, with finishes that include birch wood, corrugated metal, black slate tile floors and paint shades of white and green. The saw-cut concrete driveway with crushed granite inlays leads to an entry courtyard, which is accented with decorative block walls, custom porch structure and a one-of-a-kind front door. The interior is outfitted with luxury finishes, cohesive materials and inventive design. From the black slate tile floors to the custom wood ceilings, the craftsmanship is impeccable. The exterior & interior spaces integrate together seamlessly, offering a virtual expansion of total livable square footage. Convenient in-town location is close to the 51, Central Corridor and downtown.

They just don't make houses like this anymore! True to its roots, The Lorna House, taps into Phoenix's past, as well as its future. Ralph Haver was one of the pioneers of modern tract housing in Arizona, in the 1950s. Starlite Vista is now an established Haver neighborhood that has experienced an evolution through renovation. Haver devotees tend to appreciate mid-century style, but often choose to modify the dwellings to showcase a more modern contemporary aesthetic. The Lorna House is a perfect example of a classic Ralph Haver home that has been re-designed and respectfully modernized.

One of the home's many impressive rooms is the entertainer's kitchen, which features European-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, custom fabricated stainless steel countertops, 2 breakfast bars and unique pantry. The lighting system throughout is integrated into the ceiling panels and perfectly illuminates the open spaces. The den/office was re-designed to provide a true live/work space. Built-in bookshelves divide the space from the great room and provide the perfect space for displaying books and collectibles.

Many of the home's original features have been modernized. Old windows have been replaced with more efficient custom aluminum dual pane low-E casement windows. New interior and exterior doors were custom-crafted specifically for the house. The retro pool was re-constructed to include a "party step"; an elongated seat where guests can dip in and socialize with others on the entertaining patios. The owners transformed an unexciting backyard into an outdoor sanctuary. Relax by the Preway-style gas fireplace, while listening to your favorite tunes through the outdoor speaker system.
