An exceptional estate positioned on the second hole of the coveted Starfire Golf Club has been listed for $5,499,000 by Lynne Edson and Sacha Blanchet, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Phoenix/Paradise Valley office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Located at 11801 N Sundown Dr. in Scottsdale, Ariz., the approximately 6,669-square-foot residence has five bedrooms and six bathrooms on more than two acres.
The estate was once home to the late and internationally known Ornithologist Betty Carnes, who helped pass the 1973 Arizona no-smoking law and was instrumental in the passage of the nation's first no-smoking law.
“Nestled in a sought-after Scottsdale locale, this truly exceptional estate is an intriguing blend of industrial influence and inviting warmth, meticulously reimagined for a life of luxurious comfort and effortless entertaining. This is not just a home; it's an experience, statement and perfectly curated backdrop for life's moments,” said Edson. “This residence is offered as more than bricks and mortar; it’s an embodiment of a discerning lifestyle, statement of refined taste and legacy waiting to be embraced.”
Set back from the street with a welcoming circular driveway, this masterfully designed residence embraces a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle with picturesque views from nearly every vantage point. The living room boasts a fireplace with an artist-designed waved wall. Surrounded by all main entertaining areas, the large open gourmet kitchen is the heart of the residence and features top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, exquisite quartzite counters, a pantry and large second freezer. With its polished concrete flooring, a large studio can be used as a creative space, state-of-the-art home theater, tranquil yoga sanctuary or something unique. Five of the ensuite bedrooms offer ultimate privacy and generous walk-in closets. Currently staged as a sophisticated office, the sixth room can be easily reimagined, providing further flexibility. A haven of discreet luxury, a private suite has a full kitchen, bath and private entrance. The primary bedroom is a personal retreat, offering a private bar, wine refrigerator and spa-like bathroom with a rain shower. Other highlights include two laundry rooms, a large cedar closet and thoughtfully placed thermostats. An expansive two-acre canvas, the grounds have beautiful artificial turf and natural, mature landscaping, a series of courtyards, outdoor chef's kitchen with natural gas, artistically designed fireplace and private gate at the rear of the property, granting exclusive access to the Starfire Golf Club.
