Property Description
THIS IS MORE THAN A RENOVATION - IT IS A WORK OF ART. Completely reimagined in 2026, this exceptional Scottsdale residence offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 3,516 square feet and a custom three-car garage. Set on an 8,767-square-foot north/south-facing lot with open washes in both the front and rear, only one adjacent neighbor and sweeping city-light views, the property offers a remarkable combination of privacy, architecture and sophisticated desert living. Inside, 10-foot ceilings soar to a dramatic 26 feet in the living room, where a floor-to-ceiling full-slab statement fireplace with a 74-inch Dimplex linear fireplace anchors an impressive 100-inch media installation. White oak hardwood flooring extends throughout, while a custom floating staircase constructed with solid-steel structural elements, oak treads, integrated lighting and custom railing creates a striking architectural centerpiece. Expansive folding glass door systems on both levels create seamless indoor-outdoor living, complemented by a custom iron front entry with privacy glass. Statement chandeliers, integrated lighting and custom railing creates a striking architectural centerpiece. Expansive folding glass door systems on both levels create seamless indoor-outdoor living, complemented by a custom iron front entry with privacy glass. Statement chandeliers, integrated architectural LEDs, Ring security, Google Nest climate controls, Sonos audio and extensive CAT6/HDMI infrastructure integrate technology throughout the home. At the heart of the residence, the chef's kitchen pairs custom oak cabinetry and integrated appliance panels with Taj Mahal leathered quartzite countertops, a full-height slab backsplash and an oversized waterfall island designed for entertaining. The appliance package includes a panel-ready KitchenAid refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, ZLINE 48-inch range and wall oven, 1200-CFM hood system and integrated Summit wine cooler. The main-level primary retreat opens directly to the backyard and delivers a spa-like experience with a dedicated extra-large steam shower, custom white-marble detailing, soaking tub, upgraded glass, illuminated mirrors, integrated audio and smart bidet. The custom primary closet features extensive built-in storage and a commercial-grade roll-down locking security door for enhanced private storage. Sound-dampening mineral-wool insulation around plumbing and within the shared fireplace wall further enhances acoustic privacy. A step-free front entry and step-free main-level layout provide convenient access to the primary suite and main living areas. The resort-style backyard is designed for year-round Scottsdale living with a private heated pool, mesh pool fencing, custom gas fire pit with built-in seating, illuminated outdoor shower and expansive Napoleon outdoor kitchen complete with grill, refrigerator, sink, storage, trash pullout and full utility connections. Upgraded pool tile, hardscape, drainage, landscaping, natural grass and robotic pool-care systems complete the setting, while permanent exterior LED lighting creates dramatic evening ambiance. The three-car garage continues the home's custom design with solid-steel architectural elements, Fire Black metallic epoxy showroom-style flooring and a Tesla Wall Connector for EV charging. Additional upgrades include a high-efficiency Rinnai tankless water heater, whole-house APEC water filtration and conditioning system, smart HVAC integration and extensive interior and exterior improvements. Located near Lost Dog Wash Trailhead with convenient access to Scottsdale amenities, this completely reimagined residence brings together privacy, architecture, technology and indoor-outdoor desert living.
