Perched on a hillside in guard-gated Scottsdale Mountain, this refined residence is positioned to take full advantage of sweeping mountain and city-light views and memorable Arizona sunsets from multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces. Offering 6 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, and 4,745 sq ft, the property also includes a detached casita with a kitchenette, beverage refrigerator, walk-in closet, and travertine-surround tub/shower--ideal for extended stays or private guest accommodations. A dramatic entry with 12-foot ceilings opens to formal living and dining areas with wood flooring, an updated chandelier, and a stacked-stone fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with double Dacor ovens, Dacor microwave, a 6-burner downdraft gas cooktop, alder cabinetry, a wine pantry, and a separate walk-in pantry, flowing into the family room where alder built-ins, automatic window shades, and four sliding door systems create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection and frame the views. The primary suite is a true retreat with view patio access, a wet bar, dual-sided fireplace, jetted tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and an expansive closet with a separate changing room. Additional bedrooms are configured as private suites, each with an en-suite bath and custom walk-in closet. Outdoor living is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment with travertine pavers, landscape lighting, a built-in natural gas BBQ, and a remodeled pebble-sheen negative-edge pool and spa with iAquaLink automation, updated pumps, and gas heat. The covered patio features motorized sunshades, plus practical touches including a removable pool fence and a pool bath. Notable updates include multiple A/C replacements (including 2016 and 2019 units), a spa heater replacement (2018), improved roof underlayment, and updated garage flooring with built-in cabinetry. Residents enjoy community amenities including a pickleball/tennis complex, sport courts, a community ramada, and a spa, with close proximity to the McDowell Mountain Preserve.
