8442 E La Junta Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85255

From the large outdoor fireplace that anchors the 1,000 sq ft courtyard to the hammered copper tub underneath one of 2 skylights in the master bath, what truly separates this home from most others in Pinnacle Peak Estates are the updates. The kitchen, living rooms and master suite were all completely renovated in 2021. The three AC units, pool equipment, both sets of washers & dryers as well as Fisher & Paykel kitchen appliances are all new. New blinds and lights throughout the living areas can be voice activated and the hot tub can be turned on by smartphone. But despite all these big city touches, this 3,800+ sq ft home is still rooted in North Scottsdale sensibilities. Each guest room has its own walk-in closet; is large enough for a king size bed plus seating; and has direct access to a full bathroom. High ceilings with exposed wood beams offer a grand entrance while the landscape's lush mixture of desert and tropical plants can be enjoyed from nearly every room in the house. Enjoy coffee--or drinks--on the north facing roof top deck which offers a 360-degree view of nearby mountains in the day and a quiet evening of star gazing at night. Other notable features: built-in gourmet coffee/expresso maker, wine fridge, hammered copper Farmers sink, and a remodeled two stall garage which is currently being used as a gym. Next door, a theater room. This home offers the luxury of modern living while being nestled in the beauty of the Arizona desert.
