Falcon Nest

Falcon Nest is a detached residence in Prescott, Arizona, that is the tallest single family home in North America at 124 feet (38 m).

[7] Although the house is relatively large, its foundation is a square measuring 24 by 24 feet (7.3 m × 7.3 m); its size is spread vertically over ten stories.

Much of the main floor extends out from the core of the structure similar to large fully enclosed balconies on four sides.

[6] This house is actually much shorter than the world's tallest,[a] the approximately 560 foot (170 m) tall Antilia in South Mumbai, India.

The approximately 1 acre (0.40 ha)[11] site allowed for views for long distances in many directions, and regulations in other areas precluded building such a structure.

[3] After construction, Prescott amended its zoning to restrict height to 35 feet (11 m) from the lowest natural grade on the building's perimeter.
