HAUTE PROPERTY
SPOTLIGHT: DESERT OASIS
BY GABBY LEIGHTON
This four-bedroom, five-bath home was completely remodeled in 2007. The 4,050-square-foot space sits on 2.3 acres in the Cactus Corridor division of North Scottsdale. The front of the home boasts a neutral brick entry, surrounded by lush green grass, plants, trees and shrubs. Inside, guests are greeted by a welcoming entryway and stained concrete floors. The main living area showcases an open concept design, with a formal dining room and space for both an informal dining room and a formal sitting area. The brick accents from the outer continue indoors, adding texture and warmth to the homey multipurpose room, which is naturally lit thanks to many windows along the back wall. The kitchen overlooks the living room, with two kitchen islands – both with room for barstools – high-end stainless steel appliances (including a Dacor gas cooktop and dual ovens), tan cabinets and dark granite countertops. A brick arch leads into a pantry area, which can serve as a butler’s pantry, food pantry, and bar all in one. The space is complete with a wine fridge, ice maker, sink, cabinets and plenty of counterspace. Though there is an office, featuring built-in cabinets and shelving, in the main home, there is also a detached guest house that can double as a second office or room for guests. The space has one bedroom and a full bathroom. There’s an island and a kitchenette complete with a sink and a small fridge. The dreamy paved guest house patio showcases a fountain, a fire pit, a grassy area and ample room for both entertaining and a hot tub. The main backyard can only be described as a desert oasis, with a sparkling pool, a built-in barbecue and a fire pit. The backyard overlooks an area any horse lover would envy. Expect 20 box stalls, auto insect repellent spray and watering, an impressive presentation ring and round pen, all alongside a lush grassy pasture. 9870 E. Jenan Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.
