About This Home

As of June 2024

An authentic Italian villa-style home in Paradise Valley stands as a masterpiece of architecture and design. This majestic property, nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, harmoniously blends classic Italian elegance with the distinctive desert landscape. The home's exterior, characterized by rustic stone facades and terracotta roof tiles, evokes the timeless charm of Tuscany. Verdant gardens with native plants, cypress trees and cascading bougainvillea surround the home, creating a serene oasis. As one enters through the private wrought-iron gates, a beautiful stone driveway leads to the grand motor court arrival experience. The foyer opens to an expansive living space with high, coffered and beamed ceilings. Oversized custom windows and doors leading to multiple covered patio and balcony spaces ensure great natural light and seamless indoor to outdoor living throughout this residence. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, equipped with very high-end appliances, custom cabinetry and a large island, perfect for entertaining. An adjoining family room with grand fireplace offers a cozy retreat. The residence boasts multiple bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms featuring highly detailed fixtures and finishes, recalling the luxury of Italian design. The property includes a serene infinity pool, blending seamlessly with the horizon, and a plethora of gardens and mature trees, providing both privacy and a connection to nature. This amazing residence is more than just a home;; it's a piece of art, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, comfort and the beauty of the Arizona landscape.
