Even your family pets will live in luxury at this private and gated compound that sprawls over 3 acres in the prosperous heart of Phoenix’s suburb, Town of Paradise Valley.
Along with 2 residences and 1 casita surrounding a 120,000-gallon heated pool with lazy river, the lushly landscaped world-unto-itself also includes a basketball/pickle ball court and a 12-seat movie theatre. Grand architecture, a 2nd-floor viewing deck, and private courtyards add to its Estate-in-the-middle-of-the-city charm. Altogether, there are 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, along with 11 fireplaces and 1 firepit, each residence with a gated entrance.
Primary Residence
A tree-lined gated drive to the seven-bedroom main house, elegantly reimagined by the homeowner throughout the 2020s. Extensively expanded over time, it now measures 15,267 square feet over two levels. Venetian plaster walls throughout, Swarovski Crystal chandeliers, artisanal woodwork, custom built-ins, and soaring wood-beamed ceilings.
Just inside the iron gated entry swings open to reveal a hidden garden courtyard with Juliet balconies. The vintage brick-paved front courtyard has an outdoor fireplace and a fountain, and, just beyond the courtyard is the grand receiving room with 22-foot ceilings, carved wooden beams and corbels, a Cantera fireplace, and the center star, a 64-light Strass Swarovski crystal chandelier. The thoroughly reimaged kitchen is packed with Sub Zero Wolf Cove appliances and includes a separate dirty kitchen and outdoor barbecue kitchen for big messes and large events. Elsewhere are spacious breakfast and dining rooms, two family rooms, a game room, a wood-paneled bar, and a movie theatre. The pool is a whopping 80 feet long set in a sunny clearing with a footbridge pass to an island, spa jacuzzi, firepit tucked off to the side, and multiple grilling stations with seating scattered about the property.
Second Residence | Guest House
Meander further along, past the indoor basketball/pickleball court, or enter through the second of two gated drives to the guest residence. Hidden within a greenbelt of gardens lies the secondary residence. A Spanish hacienda built in 2000 and comprehensively designed and updated over the years by Calvis Wyatt Luxury Homes and ultimately JR McDade Company. Pushing open the 1800 ca. iron and wood gated entrance reveals a hidden gem. A garden courtyard with vintage brick-paved paths surrounding a central fountain flanked by an impressive outdoor dining room and fireplace. Just beyond the courtyard is a grand living room and library with a 20-foot ceiling, carved wooden beams, and a Cantera fireplace flanked by French doors entering yet another courtyard. The home spans over 5,700 square feet on one level. Groin-vaulted ceilings, marble floors, 1800 ca. wooden doors, beehive, and stone fireplaces were preserved in an extensive overhaul of this exquisite gem.
Casita
These two self-contained homes include a 1,230-square-foot casita on the lushly planted edge of the heated pool. Accommodations for the most discerning guests with 1 bedroom, living room, kitchen, laundry, and al fresco dining. The second-story level includes a lounge area with wrap-around views over the neighborhood and surrounding mountains.
