Description

Welcome Home to this exceptional mid-century patio home in the heart of Scottsdale's coveted McCormick Ranch Sands community. Designed by renowned architect E.T. Wright, this private and serene retreat sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering the perfect lock-and-leave lifestyle with effortless access to Old Town Scottsdale, charming cafés, boutique shopping, and picturesque tree-lined trails. At the center of this beautifully redesigned home lies a tranquil private courtyard anchored by a sparkling pool, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and entertaining. The completely reimagined open-concept floor plan blends timeless mid-century character with sophisticated modern living. Soaring twelve-foot ceilings with double-volume insulation, driftwood tile flooring, and fresh interior and and exterior paint create a bright, airy atmosphere throughout. Signature details like the original E.T. Wright slump block accent wall add authentic architectural charm, while upgraded hardware, recessed lighting, and contemporary ceiling fans elevate every space. The gourmet kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned around a generous central island, featuring sleek modern cabinetry, luxurious quartz countertops, a striking Calacatta marble backsplash, a high-end gas cooktop with stainless steel hood, double ovens, and premium stainless steel appliances. The primary suite is a true retreat, enhanced by an expansive walk-in closet, elegant barn doors, designer closet doors, and a spa-like bathroom complete with a deep insulated soaking tub, updated shower, floating vanities with quartz countertops, fresh tile, and additional skylights that flood the space with natural light. A light-filled atrium and private patios off the bedrooms seamlessly extend living areas outdoors. Additional highlights include a sophisticated 300-bottle wine room with cedar racking and glass door, a fireplace with plumbed gas stub, energy-efficient dual-pane windows and sliding doors throughout, a Nest thermostat, and a high-efficiency air conditioning system for optimal comfort and savings. Outside, enjoy a built-in barbecue with granite countertops, a gas stub ready for a future firepit, a custom steel gate, 220-volt electric vehicle charging, updated electrical systems, and mature citrus and palm trees that enhance the lush surroundings. The industrial rolled roof with double-volume insulation and updated copper piping reflect the quality and care invested throughout, while the garage offers ample storage space. This rare E.T. Wright-designed patio home perfectly combines architectural heritage with today's most desired modern comforts, delivering resort-style living in one of Scottsdale's most desirable neighborhoods.
