Rare opportunity, showings now accepted as of 1/3/21! Have you been searching for a true move-in ready, desert-oasis ''staycation,'' work and play from home type of property? Look no further! Recently restored to pristine condition inside and out, this Santa Barbara-Tuscan style custom home with a private, brand-new combo sport court (basketball/pickleball) is located in an exclusive 8-home gated community in one of the most peaceful areas of North Scottsdale. Offering nearly 6200 square feet of lifestyle with no traffic noise, views of Lone Mountain, and direct ''from your own backyard'' access to the Lone Mountain trail, this charming property with a swimming pool and high-quality finishes throughout is an entertainer's dream, yet still retains the intimacy and functionality of a luxurious "work-from-home" family residence. The main level has no interior steps and contains all major living areas, wine cellar, powder room with stone sculpture sink, master suite with sitting room, 5th bedroom or office/den/gym, and additional guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The heart of the home and central gathering area is the Italian-inspired chef's kitchen, featuring beamed ceilings, large eating area with a bay window overlooking the pool, oversized island, Viking appliances, solid wood Oakcraft cabinetry, Verde Butterfly Granite Counters, and a large walk-in pantry. The great room features an expansive built-in entertainment wall, theater surround sound system, and an impressive curbed wall with 9 massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the private backyard. Ideal north-south exposure makes for energy efficiency and ultra-low APS bills. The dining room, featuring beamed ceilings, extensive stonework, and a fireplace, is the perfect setting to gather the family or throw a fabulous dinner party. Wine connoisseurs will also appreciate the expansive temperature-controlled wine cellar with its wrought iron and glass doors and separate security system. The luxurious master suite will please even the most particular buyer. It features a stone fireplace, surround sound system, lighted tray ceilings, oversized jacuzzi tub, large Rainfall shower with floor to ceiling travertine, custom walk-in closet with separate washer/dryer connections, and a spacious sitting area overlooking the patios and backyard. The second level of the home was thoughtfully built for privacy. It is not situated over any main level living area or master suite and contains a huge bonus/game room with two additional large ensuite bedrooms, private balconies, and sweeping views of the valley. The exteriors are equally pleasing, featuring a wrap-around covered patio with three ceiling fans, the exquisite boulder-lined Pebbletec swimming pool with waterfall feature, professionally-designed low-water/low-maintenance landscaping, new irrigation and outdoor lighting systems, lots of grass, complete privacy, no traffic noise, and views of Lone Mountain. The westside/sideyard area of the home now boasts a new approx. 2,000 sq.ft. custom basketball/pickleball sport court. This home also has plenty of room for all of your cars and toys, as the 4-car garage features a workshop area with tons of storage space. Ready to stay active and fit? Aside from having your own sport-court, swimming pool, and direct access to the Lone Mountain Trail, you also are surrounded by miles of sidewalks. Hike, bike, and walk to your heart's content!
