About this home

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.

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.

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.
