Property Description
In the heart of Scottsdale's highly coveted Cactus Corridor, this extensively remodeled estate presents a rare opportunity to enjoy modern living in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. Completed in May, the renovation transformed the property into a beautifully updated retreat designed for effortless Arizona living. The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with bright open spaces and seamless indoor-outdoor flow that lead to a sparkling pool and thoughtfully designed outdoor areas. A standout feature of the property is the newly built detached casita, constructed from the ground up and offering just under 1,800 square feet of beautifully designed living space. This impressive guest residence includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a movie theater, kitchenette, and living room, creating the perfect setting for guests, multigenerational living, or a private retreat. The renovation includes major upgrades, such as updated electrical and plumbing systems, along with a complete interior remodel throughout the main home. A spacious 4-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, or hobbies. The grounds reflect the beauty of the Sonoran Desert, with mature landscaping and outdoor spaces designed to embrace Scottsdale's year-round lifestyle. An additional full outdoor bathroom adds convenience for poolside entertaining. Ideally located just minutes from world-class golf, dining, and shopping, the home offers easy access to premier destinations such as Scottsdale Fashion Square and Kierland Commons, placing some of the Valley's best lifestyle and retail experiences within easy reach. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully reimagined property in one of Scottsdale's most sought-after neighborhoods.
