The enclave of Sierra Estates in North Scottsdale is off 136th & Shea. The quaint gated community is filled with Mediterranean style homes with clay tile roofs, window shutters and natural stone and if you didn’t know it was there you may drive right on by.

Many of the homes have tremendous mountain views and I would bet the neighbors would be happy to loan you some sugar when needed.

This residence is just shy of 5,800 square feet and not only has a large master suite with a spa bath and fitness room in the main house, it also has two additional bedroom suites and a den. The formal living and dining rooms are open to each other with a large butlers pantry for serving or storing dishware. Sure to be noticed is the spacious kitchen with over-sized island, top of the line appliance package and breakfast nook all open to the family room for every day living.

Did I mention that the interior decor includes natural stone, custom faux treatments and eye-catching custom ceiling details such as the barrel ceiling in the hallway? Neat stuff.

A big plus for this floorplan is the guest casita that is accessed through a curved staircase off the front courtyard. The casita has a main room (currently set up with a pool table), a bedroom and it’s own private office with sunset views.

All of this is offered at $1,400,000. Not too shabby.

Imagine enjoying a nice glass of wine and some tasty treats on this glass-encased balcony. The views go on and on. Located on the golf course in Eagle Mountain Country Club, this contemporary residence is an entertainment home that offers unique finishes and designer touches throughout.

The dramatic foyer is gallery-like with tall ceilings and large walls for those extra special art pieces. It wraps around to the formal dining room with space for 10 and the formal living room with walk-out to the balcony level. A dramatic glass-encased staircase with metalic tile detail leads to the lower level guest area.

Time for a meal? This killer kitchen has all the bells and whistles. A glass counter bar adds reflection to the curved granite counters and complements the metallic backsplash. Custom cabinetry offers plenty of storage and unique built-ins such as a pantry.

As if that’s not enough, if you swing a 180 from the kitchen you’ll see the family room with custom built-in media center, gas fireplace and adjacent casual dining nook.

Head on down to the guest level and you’ll find this dramatic entertainment area with wet bar, an award winning wine cellar, game room with padded fabric walls (and full bath with steam shower), and an extra large guest suite with private sitting area. Walk out to the covered dining area and pool/spa.

A day at the spa doesn’t compare. This glass-tile detailed pool and spa are the perfect end to any day.
