Experience elevated desert living in this exceptional Troon North residence, where timeless design, extensive improvements, advanced smart-home technology, and resort-inspired amenities come together in one unforgettable property. More than $500,000 has been invested in remodeling, mechanical and structural improvements, energy-efficient systems, smart-home technology, and resort-caliber outdoor amenities. Privately positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac amid dramatic boulder formations, lush Sonoran Desert scenery, mountain views, and breathtaking Arizona sunsets, this North Scottsdale retreat offers an extraordinary combination of elegance, privacy, comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
One of the home's most valuable features is its fully owned and paid-off solar array, offering approximately 12 kW of generating capacity. Professionally installed by Generation Solar and monitored through the Enphase platform, the system transfers free and clear to the new owner, providing meaningful long-term energy savings from day one.
The property has been extensively improved and thoughtfully maintained, with upgrades extending well beyond the visible finishes. Major enhancements include two newer 14-SEER HVAC systems, complete roof-underlayment replacement using two layers of Malarkey Right Start UDL water-resistant underlayment, continued professional roof maintenance, extensive Low-E window replacement, two newer insulated garage doors installed by Apex Garage Door, upgraded electrical service, updated lighting, ceiling fans and dimmers, and a partial conversion from propane to natural gas.
The home also features newer front entry and screen doors from Energy Shield Window & Door, updated solid-core interior doors, and upgraded locks, hinges, handles and hardware throughout.
Additional comfort and efficiency features include a Hybrid Electric-installed TruTankless water heater with a recirculation pump, a Pentair and ULTIMA whole-house water-filtration system, reverse-osmosis drinking water at the kitchen sink, and refrigerator an EV charging station, and app-based controls for several of the home's major systems.
The owned Vivint security system includes smart locks, alarm-monitoring capabilities and convenient app control. Elite Shutters & Blinds motorized window treatments enhance privacy and comfort in the primary bedroom and bathroom, while additional smart-home conveniences are integrated throughout the property.
From the moment you enter, soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, designer lighting, rich plank-style hardwood flooring, and dramatic architectural details create an immediate sense of scale and sophistication. The formal living and dining rooms provide an elegant backdrop for entertaining, while the striking staircase and open upper-level landing enhance the home's grand yet welcoming atmosphere.
Updated solid-core doors, contemporary hardware, upgraded wall sconces, newer fixtures, and carefully selected finishes add a polished feel throughout the residence. Multiple living and dining areas provide exceptional flexibility, allowing the home to transition effortlessly from relaxed evenings to large celebrations.
The flexible main-level office may also serve as a fifth bedroom, private guest suite, fitness room, hobby space, or executive workspace--an ideal feature for today's modern lifestyle. Its proximity to the remodeled downstairs bathroom also creates the potential for comfortable main-level guest accommodations.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully remodeled chef's kitchen opens seamlessly to the breakfast area and family room, creating an inviting flow for everyday living and entertaining. Rich cabinetry, granite countertops, a stacked-stone backsplash, abundant storage, and an oversized center island combine beauty with exceptional functionality.
The kitchen is equipped with an induction cooktop, Bosch double ovens, a Bosch microwave and dishwasher, a high-end Samsung temperature-controlled refrigerator, and two built-in wine coolers. The adjacent laundry area features a Samsung washer and dryer. Large windows frame views of the sparkling pool and surrounding desert landscape, bringing the resort setting directly into the home.
The adjoining family room is anchored by a striking stacked-stone fireplace that has been converted from wood burning to gas and enhanced with an upgraded mantel and app-based controls. Natural light fills the room, creating a warm and inviting gathering space.
A professionally installed Smart AV audio system features Sonos controls and speakers throughout the interior and exterior, including outdoor rock speakers. Music and entertainment can flow seamlessly from inside the home to the patio, pool and backyard gathering areas.
Nearby, the newly renovated downstairs bathroom adds another polished touch with a granite-topped vanity, rich cabinetry, modern black fixtures, upgraded plumbing hardware, and a sleek glass-enclosed walk-in shower featuring contemporary tilework and a rainfall showerhead. The additional guest bathroom has also been refreshed with updated faucets, towel bars, fixtures and coordinating hardware.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true private retreat with elevated ceilings, generous proportions, oversized windows, Elite Shutters & Blinds motorized window treatments, and serene desert and mountain views. The room offers abundant space for a sitting area while maintaining a peaceful and private atmosphere.
The spa-inspired primary bathroom was extensively remodeled by TraVek with plumbing fixtures sourced through Studio 41. It features dual granite vanities, extensive cabinetry, designer lighting, upgraded fixtures, and an oversized glass-enclosed walk-in shower with multiple showerheads and custom tilework.
The substantial primary walk-in closet has been professionally enhanced by Closet Masters with upgraded storage, counters and drawers, creating an organized and highly functional dressing space.
Generously sized secondary bedrooms provide comfort and versatility for family and guests. The updated upstairs secondary bathroom features a granite double vanity, dark cabinetry, modern fixtures, upgraded hardware, and a tub-and-shower combination.
The finished three-car garage is equally impressive and has been designed to function as much more than vehicle storage. Closet Masters upgraded the existing cabinetry and added counters and drawers, while overhead storage racks provide additional organization for recreational equipment, tools and seasonal items.
The garage also includes insulated ceilings and exterior walls, professionally applied Epoxyology floor coating, an EV charging station, upgraded electrical components, and abundant room for a workshop or hobby area. Two newer insulated garage doors from Apex Garage Door enhance efficiency and curb appeal, while a MyQ app controller provides convenient remote operation for the two-car garage door.
The backyard is the crown jewel of the property--an extraordinary private resort created for unforgettable Arizona living. The heated PebbleTec pool and spa feature a dramatic rock waterfall, expansive entry steps, built-in seating, and generous decking for swimming, lounging and entertaining.
P-Lo Pools upgraded the pool filtration, heater and control systems with iAquaLink technology, allowing convenient app-based operation. The surrounding pool deck has also undergone extensive Cool Deck restoration and resurfacing to enhance its appearance, durability, and resistance to cracking and fading.
Artificial turf, mature landscaping, upgraded irrigation, extensive landscape lighting, built-in Sonos rock speakers, a remote-controlled misting system, two fire pits, dual poolside fire pots, custom built-in seating, and multiple gathering areas create a captivating setting from sunrise to sunset. Enhancements to the view fencing and rear perimeter wall further contribute to the backyard's privacy and finished appearance.
As an added benefit, the outdoor furniture conveys with the home, allowing the new owner to begin enjoying the private resort setting immediately.
A spacious covered patio extends the indoor living experience outdoors with ceiling fans, mounted heaters, shaded seating, and multiple dining and conversation areas overlooking the pool. A remote-operated Roll-A-Shield screen protects the west side of the covered patio, while a Spartan Shade Systems retractable screen at the rear entry provides additional shade, comfort and flexibility.
The fully equipped Island outdoor kitchen is designed for serious entertaining and includes running water, a built-in grill, flat-top cooking surface, refrigerator, storage drawers, an ice bin with drainage, dedicated trash and recycling storage, generous counter space, and bar seating.
A remote-controlled SunSetter awning extends above the outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, providing additional shade when needed. The nearby remote-controlled misting system helps create a comfortable environment during warmer Arizona days.
Whether hosting a poolside celebration, preparing dinner in the outdoor kitchen, enjoying cocktails around the fire, listening to music beneath the covered patio, or relaxing under the desert sky, every corner of this property has been thoughtfully designed to create an exceptional lifestyle.
With a low annual HOA, residents enjoy access to Troon North's private tennis and pickleball courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, and scenic walking and biking opportunities. World-class golf at Troon North Golf Club, renowned hiking trails, upscale dining, and premier North Scottsdale shopping are only minutes away.
