Stunning Views, Exquisite Southwest Home
Few places in Sedona offer this expansive view of both sunrise and sunset while looking out over the surrounding National Forest featuring Thunder Mountain, Bear Mountain, Doe Mesa, Cockscomb, Chimney Rock and Seven Canyons. Enjoy early morning tea on the rear patio overlooking the pool below and the hot air balloons drifting by above. In the evening, unobstructed dark skies offer spectacular star gazing as you sip a glass of wine. This is your private special retreat, breathtaking by day and magical at night. Easy access to local trails, too. The owners' goal was to bring the fabulous views of the outside inside. This meticulously maintained custom built Southwest home offers unique details at every turn – from the inlaid decorative tiles and glass beneath each step leading upstairs to the warming drawer in the kitchen to the custom lighting for art work and niches.
The first level includes the living room with a wood burning Arizona moss rock stone fireplace, floor to ceiling windows framing the Red Rocks of Sedona, hand peeled latilla ceiling, and French doors leading to the patio and pool. The master chef kitchen includes granite countertops, a Viking refrigerator, 2 Viking ovens, a warming drawer and a Fisher and Paykel double dish drawer dishwasher. Kitchen opens to a formal dining room in addition to a breakfast nook off the kitchen. The butler's pantry includes a wine refrigerator and racks for crystal glassware.
Inverted Saltillo tile graces the floors and sub-floor radiant heat keeps everyone warm in winter.
