Enjoy outdoor living on the large covered patio overlooking a beautiful swimming pool, spa, fire and water features plus an outdoor firepit and built-in BBQ. The home has upstairs guest quarters plus a full basement with family room,two bedrooms and a private patio. The home is situated on the best lot in the neighborhood and overlooks a large wash, providing unimpeded city light views to the south and mountain views and sunset views to the northwest that can't be matched.

The home is built around a center private courtyard featuring a beautiful stone water feature and provides an area for relaxing or perhaps al fresco dining.

The main level of the home has an office with built-on bookcases, a walk-in wine cellar, expansive master bedroom suite, a guest bedroom suite, a formal dining room, powder room, and an oversized laundry room. There is a family dining room off of the kitchen, as well as a great room with vaulted ceilings and a magnificent stone fireplace and entertainment center.

The kitchen is equipped with a Wolf gas stove with double ovens plus a third baking oven, microwave and matching Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. A large granite island completes this gourmet kitchen.

The impressive master bedroom suite has a sitting area, a beautiful stone fireplace, a large master bathroom, plus a spacious walk-in closet as well as a private workout room.

Detail and craftsmanship abound. The foyer of the home features a beautiful domed brick ceiling. The brick continues throughout the home as a unique arched ceiling in the formal dining room as well as on the walls of the butler's pantry and kitchen, giving warmth and texture to the space. A magnificent iron and glass door leads into the private wine cellar in the hallway. Chiseled travertine stone floors are found throughout the home in the entertaining and living areas and hardwood flooring was used in the bedrooms and office.

Up the artistic staircase featuring risers with hand painted tiles is a built-in work /bookcase area which leads into a private guest suite with a large bathroom. This suite comes with a covered porch providing amazing views of the McDowell Mountain range.

Downstairs in the basement level is an oversized second family room currently being utilized as a media room but could easily be converted into a game or playroom to fit your needs. Two guest bedrooms with private baths complete the amenities of this beautifully designed home. Each of the them come with its own patio with pavers.
