Set against a stunning mountain backdrop, this Paradise Valley home is a grand desert oasis. The understated, low-set frontage conceals a wealth of vast, impressive spaces packed with character, and a luscious private garden you will never want to leave. As you step through the front door of this home, the impact is immediate. A grand space opens before you, with soaring pitched ceilings with exposed beams, parquet flooring, a feature fireplace and a huge arched window complete with plantation shutters. This formal lounge is just one of an array of unique living spaces. The elegant formal dining room is large yet feels intimate, with a subtle color palette, a recessed ceiling and chandelier. It connects to the great room, with its panelled walling, pitched ceilings, round stone fireplac and access to the outdoor entertaining spaces. There's a family room or library, with built-in cabinets and bookcases, a timber-lined den with bar, an office, plus a separate large studio with full bathroom attached to the garage. The master bedroom features a sitting area with doors opening to a private and covered patio. There's a walk-in robe and large ensuite with spa tub, separate shower and dual vanities. The walled gardens are truly an oasis. A vast swathe of manicured lawn adjoins a network of paved trails and rock gardens, alongside dense leafy areas, covered dining spaces and built-in barbeque. At the heart of this beautiful space is the swimming pool surrounded by a sun terrace.
