CUSTOM LUXURY ESTATE HOME IN THE HEART OF THE EXCLUSIVE NORTH SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY OF SILVERLEAF



Welcome Home to Silverleaf Arizona
Scottsdale’s real estate has taken yet another turn toward ultimate magnificence with this recently available luxury home in Silverleaf AZ.  This Estate residence on lot 2401 is 2.75 acres set in the heart of the exclusive North Scottsdale community of Silverleaf.  This custom estate home sits in the intimate Horseshoe Canyon which boasts ultimate privacy, as well as stunning views that one associates with the exclusive Silverleaf Community, including panoramas of the McDowell Mountains, the private golf course and the city lights below.  Situated on a south-west-facing homesite, the elevation allows for stunning views of golf, city lights and sunsets.
This rural Mediterranean home has everything one would expect from a luxury residence.  As you cross the bridge of the private drive and pass through the gates of the estate, it is easy to imagine you have been transported to a villa in the south of Spain.  Cobblestones and Spanish tile lend themselves to an Old World elegance not frequently found this side of the Atlantic.  An indoor ‘Street Scape’ that would make any international traveler feel at home offers a quaint entertaining area or a place to escape, and is just one of many unique features that bring to life this European élan.  Old fashioned vendor carts and a small table and chairs can make this reminiscent of a street fair, while the enclosure is sealed from outdoor elements.   The Street Scape leads into the south wing where the additional bedrooms are located.  This section of the house would be ideal as a children’s wing.  Perfectly situated with a central play area and an additional craft room, it is also conveniently located near the laundry room.  There is a private exit that leads to the outdoor play area, and this fenced-in section with an in-ground trampoline keeps children safe by not allowing access to the driveway.
The adults will certainly not be outdone by the little ones – this home has an ideal entertainment area on the lower level.  A large game room and wet bar are only the beginning of this multi-faceted floor.  There is a theater, as well as a separate media room.  A private room for cards and an enclosed section of the game room set up for virtual golf, ensure that every interest will be covered.  Two additional bedrooms are on this level, as well as an exercise studio complete with locker room on the north side.   Covered patios along the entire west side of the house provide breathtaking views of the grounds, as well as convenient access to the grass yard, fountains, swimming pool and massage room.
The color and materials of this home lend themselves to the desert landscape and, combined with the outdoor gardens and landscaping, create an unrivaled visual experience.  The wrought iron fencing provides security without interrupting the views.  Style blends easily with the understated opulence of a 13,865 square foot home which is as beautiful as it is livable.  Although architectural plans have been completed, this home has many features which can be altered to suit any taste.
Architect James Hann has teamed up with Lawrence Lake Interiors to create this custom estate home and  Ted Reisdorf of Paragon Custom Homes as the perfect builder.  Scottsdale realtor Shawn Shackelton is the final link in this ultimate home-buying opportunity, whose knowledge and love of Scottsdale, Arizona make her the perfect representative for this community. This experienced group ensures a pleasurable homebuilding experience from start to finish. You will be blown away when you experience this true Luxury Home in Silverleaf AZ.
