About This Home

As of May 2025

This Cinnabar Canyon residence is pinnacle of hillside living and is being offered for the first time in 28 years! Imagine soaring almost 500 feet above the valley, in a mountain retreat where paradise is your address. As a sanctuary of enlightened living, this one-of-a-kind landmark residence has been the long-time home of 2 esteemed valley artists. Hosting some of the valley's finest art gatherings, this slopeside treasure provides an idyllic setting for immersive indoor-outdoor experiences. Being elevated this high up in a private canyon affords views typically reserved for multi-million dollar homes. With sweeping 360 degrees of raw mountain preserve and city views beyond, the authentic desert surroundings make for an inspiring space for artists, creatives, professionals and anyone who thrives on an intimate connection with nature. The beauty of the indoor and outdoor spaces provides an expression of unparalleled artistry. Talk about a desert dream home! Cinnabar Canyon also has all buried utilities so there are no unsightly wires. The curb appeal and overall privacy have been enhanced over the last 12 months with a $20,000+ investment into the outer edges of the property. Many contemporary elements have been incorporated into the landscape design including gently-terraced garden spaces with steel-edged planters, along with gabion walls, an artisan-crafted address monument, desert-adapted landscaping and exposed aggregate walkways. Adding to the privacy of the home, strategic placement of solid + view fencing includes a deep-hued, territorial-style wall paired with custom steel walls topped with ornate laser-cut steel screens, as well as stone-clad walls that blend into the natural surroundings. Corrugated steel cladding on the home and fencing offers a unique, modern aesthetic when paired with the home's original brick facade. The living spaces offer seamless connectivity to the expansive South and North-facing outdoor spaces, with both set on the mountainside. The North-facing yard offers an elevated wood deck, thriving vegetable garden (currently growing carrots, tomatoes, beets, etc) and an outdoor storage room. Enjoy mature Pakistani mulberry and moringa trees, as well. The Western side of the property is currently being utilized as a shaded outdoor workshop, with multiple future uses possible. A lush grassy yard is very rare in Cinnabar Canyon North and is wonderful for kids & pets. Prepare for magic once you enter the property's oversized double door entry gate. This is not merely a home; it is a treasured heirloom that blends beautifully into the terrain, offering a serene respite from the city. Thoughtfully designed to capture the most commanding views that surrounds it, this unique residence features an ideal floor plan that flows across one single level. This home provides a 2,847-square foot canvas for both relaxation and hosting, with expanses of windows perfectly framing the stunning views in all directions. Multiple living and entertaining areas with well-proportioned bedrooms converge to create a versatile, open concept design. The Great Room (an entirely accurate description!) features multiple gallery walls with lighting, corner stacked-stone fireplace and expanses of travertine tile underfoot. Opening into to the dining room and the kitchen, allows for gatherings both intimate and grand. The primary suite overlooks the mountain preserve to the North and offers scored concrete floors, full wall of closets and built-ins including a vanity with glass vessel sink. Sliding glass doors open to a working artist's studio space that features Saltillo tile floors, skylight and double French doors to the North-facing yard. The 3 secondary bedrooms have views for days! So many unique features throughout the home including a 1970s built-in wet bar in the office/den and other retro built-ins throughout. The great room, dining room and kitchen seamlessly merge, creating an ideal environment for entertaining, with 2 sets of doors for South patio access. A welcoming entry hall greets visitors and can serve as a gathering space during parties. Prep meals in style with a light-filled kitchen that frames the mountain views with its glass enclosed garden window. Dusty blue + maple wood cabinetry is paired with stainless steel appliances and granite counters that extend up the backsplash. Recent property improvements include: new roof '16, new HVAC systems in '14 & '17, new gas water heater in '20, new dual flush toilets '24 and new dual pane windows '24. A 2 car garage and paved driveway offer plenty of room for residents and guests. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase an oasis where architecture, art and nature collaborate to create a truly transcendent experience. The golden hourthe start of the sunset transitioning into evening lights is spectacular and must be experienced. The foodie scene in Sunnyslope is evolving with local faves Little Miss BBQ, O.S.H.O, The Vig, Los Reyes De La Torta and a new seafood restaurant coming soon. You'll love the proximity to Central Phoenix, Scottsdale and the West valley, with sporting, cultural destinations, places of worship, eateries and events all close by. The Phoenix Mountain Preserve offers hiking and biking trails for outdoor enthusiasts. Adding to the allure of this property---there is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase the land to the North, capturing even more of the desert's beauty.
