Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This modern home in central Scottsdale is a resort-like base for those looking to make the most of all that the region has to offer. Spend lazy mornings around the pool and in the gardens practising your put while you plan the day's golfing adventure. If you're not one for the course, choose a spa experience in the area to indulge in. By the day’s end, the pool bums, desert hikers, kayakers, and golfers alike will gather back on the patio for a BBQ and a round of pool in the billiards room. If the desert chill sets in, congregate around the open fire in the living room; its reclaimed wood backdrop adding a shade of boho-chic. Sleep sound in sumptuous beds, and whoever gets the master suite can pack the walk-in wardrobe with all the gear necessary for hiking, golfing and hitting to town.
