BACK ON THE MARKET! After extensive, recently completed remodeling, including new floors in bedrooms and living area; remodeled bathrooms in master and guest bedrooms, and more. NOTE: PHOTOS SHOWN ARE NOT CURRENT. ONE ACRE, cul-de-sac lot in McDowell Shadow Estates, one of Scottsdale's most coveted neighborhoods (No HOA!), with wide streets, mature trees and an open, ''rural'' feel, yet just moments from the 101 and easy access to EVERYTHING. This is a custom-built masterpiece by architect David Lloyd Kenyon, featuring classic, modern architectural influences: straight lines and simple geometric shapes that yield to overhanging eaves and clerestory windows, and vaulted roof arches in the back. Entering the house via the extended walkway, you immediately sense harmony between the human habitat and the natural elements of the surrounding landscape. Inside, is a rambling, open, single-level main floor plan, punctuated by an extended, cantilevered staircase that is as much art as it is function, and which leads to a second-floor redoubt/office with commanding views of the backyard and nearby McDowell Mountains. Large expanses of glass blur the boundary between inside and out, providing a balance between the lightness and airiness of the glass, and the solid, brick walls. The modern interior is a symphony of design aesthetics and coordinated elements, repeated in windows, flagstone floors, and custom design fittings that actually direct natural light inward from sources hidden from view. Besides abundant living space, the home features 4 en suite bedrooms (one with an additional overhead loft/sleeping area) and an enormous, remodeled kitchen. In the backyard is a tremendous sense of space and complete privacy. There are towering trees, unlimited views, a huge, diving-depth pool, heated spa, covered pergola and a full sized, outdoor pool bath, and fruit trees punctuate the yard from one end to the other. In addition to the 3 car, side-entry garage, there is an oversized, separate CAR BARN/storage building, ideal for a car collection, a shop, or abundant storage . The home is a short walk from Northsight park, with its grassy meadows and tennis courts, and equestrian trails criss-cross the nearby natural area open space. Homes in this neighborhood do not come along often, particularly one with as many unique qualities as this. Shown by appointment only.
