Radiating grace, beauty and calmness, an elegant estate awes with contemporary splendor and a coveted address offering a luxurious amount of space and seclusion for the most discerning families seeking the best of luxury resort style living.
Ready to trade in cold winters for signature cocktails under the warm Sonoran sun, it didn’t take long for Connecticut transplants to realize there was something special about Paradise Valley, the wealthy enclave they have now called home for about forty years. “It is something to be said about living in a residential only town with mostly one-acre lots. When we first laid eyes on the property in the 80s, which is ideally hidden away from main roads and neighboring homes, and in close proximity to the best school in the valley, Phoenix Country Day School, I recall saying the only way I am leaving is in a pine box,” recalls the homeowners. Thankfully, the latter is not the case and the property is now available for a new family to enjoy.
After several renovations, remodels, and expanding by combining the neighboring lot when it came up for sale, the three-acre property today is a showstopping masterpiece reminiscent of a luxury resort. Thru gates, vast verdant greenery surrounding the courtyard entry invites you to a sprawling 10,056 square foot, seven-bedrooms, seven and a half baths of elegant stunner with thoughtfully designed rooms for large scale entertaining and comfortable family space for easy, every day living. “The house is big enough for entertaining yet cozy enough where one does not get lost,” comments current owners. “We love entertaining and I believe the most people we have hosted is about 150.”
The family friendly, split floor plan allows for a spectacular kids wing with space for a nanny. Parents can retreat to the second-floor spacious exquisitely detailed master suite where they can unwind by the wood burning fireplace and take in the city light views on a private balcony. Rife with welcoming living spaces, you can spend quality time kicking back and taking in a movie in the homes cinema room., Entertain in the posh living room adorned with low slung furniture, anchored by a dramatic carved stone hearth and illuminated by a brilliantly glittering chandelier. Catch up on all the bestsellers in an elegant library boasting yet another woodburning fireplace. Perhaps simply, relax in a truly great Great Room awash in sunlight, or chat over a cup of coffee in the dreamy kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, top of the line appliances, and broad expanses of gleaming white countertops. The 1,628sf detached guest casita provides ample space for overnight guests. Gadget aficionados will appreciate state-of-the-art Crestron and Lutron systems that allow you to effortlessly control it all, creating the perfect ambience from your ipad.
