So Scottsdale! June ‘19
With 9,020 square feet sitting on 2.54 acres, this residence in the gated community of Cantabrica combines privacy with spectacular views of the sprawling mountains. Built in 2013, the technologically outfitted smart home has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, as well as a stunning outdoor living space that allows for coexisting in harmony with the surrounding desert. Upon entry, travertine flooring tastefully accents cantera stone fireplaces and pillars. The spacious great room features a full-size bar and mechanical pocket doors that frame the picturesque backyard. The kitchen continues the trend of gleaming tile floors, which are accented by complementary granite countertops. It’s completed with state-of-the-art appliances, rustic cabinetry, plenty of prep space, a farmhouse sink, and a breakfast bar for entertaining. Next to the kitchen sits a casual family room with French doors that provide direct access to the outdoor space. Each of the four bedrooms have private travertine bathrooms, walk-in closets, and access to patios. The master suite features an exquisite resort-style bathroom, a private seating area, and an adjacent executive office. The home also contains a media room with theater seating, audiovisual equipment and a kitchenette. One of the most irresistible facets is the outdoor living retreat. A ramada-style covered patio is accented with hand-hewn plank beams and an open fireplace. To the side of the travertine patio is a heated pool and spa with a water feature. The south-facing yard also contains a built-in cooking station and dining area as well as a sprawling grass lawn and garden-inspired landscaping. Also nestled on the property is a separate guesthouse that can double as a poolhouse. Finished in the same manner as the main home, it has its own full bath, kitchenette and sleeping area. The intimacy of the secluded, resort-like estate belies that fact that it is just a short distance away from some of the Valley’s best golf, hiking, shopping and dining. 26281 N. 119th St., Scottsdale, AZ 85255.
