Supplements: This exquisite home was originally built in 1996 and underwent major remodeling throughout 2012. The current owners have invested over $117,000 improving the home, over the last 2 years. Substantial improvements were made just prior to the current owners' purchase, as well. The overall design aesthetic will transport you to sublime retreat; fitting for a relaxed, yet elegant Scottsdale lifestyle. This home's stunning, unique indoor and outdoor spaces may not be immediately realized from the street. But, once you get to the entry, you will start to notice that it's not just an ordinary house.

There are all new plantings, in front, with drip irrigation and full landscape lighting (all on auto timers).
