There’s something surreal about watching a home evolve into a masterpiece, especially when it's in a community as stunning as Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona. One property in particular, now known as Modern Hu, has a story that still surprises me.
The first time I stepped inside, I had to walk right back out. The place was filled with mothballs—literally everywhere—and had this old, stale smell clinging to it. Now, keep in mind, we’re in Scottsdale, a desert climate. I’ve lived here my whole life and have never met a single person who actually uses mothballs, let alone fills a home with them! But as strange as it was, that was just the beginning.
The magic started happening when Burke and Terese Mullins of Aesthetic Interior and Design took over. These two are powerhouses—talented, ambitious, and incredibly meticulous. Watching them work was like watching art unfold. Slowly but surely, Modern Hu was transformed into a one-of-a-kind home. Every detail was carefully considered, every design choice thoughtful and deliberate. The result? A place where someone is going to walk in and feel like it was meant just for them.
Seeing that unexpected beauty emerge was a thrill. It's amazing what dedication and vision can do for a space. Now, Modern Hu stands as a testament to what’s possible with the right team and a little imagination.
It is an honor for Paul Perry and I to be part of this project. We were able to acquire this property for the Mullins and now have the privilege of representing The Modern Hu. A name derived from the beautifully transformed home, originally designed by renowned architect Bing Hu.
