About this home
In a location where the mountains meet the city lights, this home captures the very best of Biltmore Heights, this home offers a front-row seat to Arizona's natural beauty. As you arrive, Piestewa Peak rises dramatically, so close it feels within reach, and brilliant desert sunsets melting into sparkling city lights. It's the kind of view that never gets old.
Step through the striking glass entry door and into a foyer that immediately sets the tone: warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. From the moment you enter, the sightlines draw you into the main great room and secondary living space, creating a natural flow while still maintaining distinct areas for gathering and retreat. The split-level layout offers privacy and comfort, making it ideal for both everyday living and hosting guests. Go upstairs to the main great room, where rich hardwood floors and expansive picture windows frame the mature trees and surrounding mountains like living artwork. The space feels open yet grounded, bright, but never stark.
The kitchen continues the feeling with warm wood cabinetry and live-edge marble countertops that echo the organic textures of the desert landscape. Fully equipped and beautifully appointed, from the prep sink or the adjacent terrace just outside the kitchen door, you'll find yourself pausing to take in the breathtaking sunsets and twinkling city views.
Privately situated on the opposite side of the home, the primary suite feels like a retreat. Hardwood floors, a striking stone statement wall, and serene views of mature greenery create a peaceful escape. The spacious custom walk-in closet carries through the same warm wood tones, blending elegance with functionality. The primary bath is equally inviting, with warm wood vanities, beautifully veined stone climbing the shower wall behind a freestanding tub, dual sinks, a dedicated makeup vanity, and LED backlit mirrors with adjustable lighting tones. It's a space designed for both relaxation and refinement.
Guest baths continue the cohesive aesthetic with warm cabinetry, warmly veined stone, and modern illuminated mirrors, every detail thoughtfully curated.
The secondary living room offers remarkable flexibility and scale. Generous in size and anchored by a warm-toned bar that mirrors the kitchen's finishes, this space invites creativity, whether for entertaining, relaxing, or creating multiple gathering zones without ever feeling crowded.
Out back, the desert landscaping is both intentional and beautiful. Mature trees provide privacy and shade, synthetic turf offers year-round greenery, and the mountain views remain ever-present. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting under the stars, the patio feels like a private desert sanctuary.
This isn't just a home, it's a place where views, warmth, and thoughtful design come together to create an experience.
