A DISTINCTIVE NORTH SCOTTSDALE ESTATE WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS, RESORT-STYLE LIVING & TIMELESS CUSTOM CRAFTSMANSHIP Perched dramatically on a private hillside acre in North Scottsdale, this extraordinary custom estate is a rare combination of architecture, privacy, scale, and unforgettable Arizona views. From the impressive stone motor court and dramatic entry to the multiple courtyards, patios, observation decks, and resort-style backyard, every element of this 6,200+ square-foot residence was designed to take full advantage of its elevated setting. This is not a home that simply sits on the land--it is built into the hillside, creating a remarkable sense of privacy while opening the home to sweeping mountain vistas and spectacular western sunsets. Inside, the craftsmanship immediate sets the tone. Jumbo Versailles-pattern Travertine flooring, Cantera stone accents, custom wrought-iron detailing, coffered ceilings, arched architectural elements, soaring windows, and multiple fireplaces create a sophisticated Old World-inspired aesthetic with an unmistakable Arizona character. An elevator connects the home's multiple levels, adding both convenience and accessibility to the expansive floor plan. At the center of the home is a gourmet chef's kitchen designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features a 6-burner Wolf range, pot filler, Wolf microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, expansive island with curved seating, and a generous walk-in pantry. It flows naturally into the spectacular Great Room, where 20-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, expansive windows, and abundant natural light create a dramatic yet comfortable gathering space. French doors open to the outdoor living areas, while a sophisticated wet bar makes entertaining guests easy. The main level continues with two bedroom suites, including an impressive second primary suite. This private retreat features a fireplace, wet bar, luxurious ensuite bath with soaking tub and fireplace, and French doors opening directly to the backyard. An additional ensuite bedroom provides a comfortable private retreat for family or guests. For those who love to entertain, the home delivers in a big way. A dedicated theatre room creates a private screening experience, while the custom wine room--with its distinctive iron-and-glass door--adds an elegant touch. The formal dining room opens directly to a private courtyard, providing the perfect setting for intimate dinners or memorable al fresco entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite becomes a destination of its own. Expansive windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding landscape, while a stone-trimmed fireplace and media center add warmth and sophistication. A separate private sitting room with its own fireplace creates a quiet retreat within the suite, and French doors lead to a generous observation deck where morning coffee, evening cocktails, and Arizona sunsets become part of the everyday experience. The spa-inspired primary bath features dual vanities, a built-in makeup vanity, jetted soaking tub with fireplace, and an oversized walk-in closet. Across the hall, a private executive office with French doors provides an inspiring work-from-home environment. An additional ensuite bedroom and a large fitness room with wet bar and its own private view deck complete the upper level. And then there is the backyard. Designed as a private resort-style oasis, the outdoor living space centers around a heated swimming pool with a dramatic waterfall, grotto, and elevated water slide. A separate spa, covered patio, built-in BBQ with seating for six, and expansive sun patio create multiple spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the Arizona lifestyle. A dedicated poolside bathroom means guests can enjoy the outdoor amenities without ever needing to walk through the main residence.
