About 1233 E Salado Circle
Introducing 'The House on the Hill,' a one-of-a-kind, recently updated home reminiscent of a French Country Estate, nestled within a privately gated enclave of 24 custom homes. This extraordinary property, recently featured in Phoenix Home and Garden Magazine, is perfectly positioned at the end of its own cul-de-sac. Set on a pristine, one-acre manicured bluff, it offers sweeping views of the idyllic Lehi Valley in North Mesa, with breathtaking vistas of Camelback Mountain, sparkling city lights and Arizona's renowned sunsets. Exuding exquisite craftsmanship and timeless European elegance, the home, with its steeply-pitched roof and dormer windows features coffered and tray ceilings, custom Burdette cabinetry, Anderson casement windows, stunning herringbone-patterned white oak floors and custom trimwork highlighted by a striking high-gloss finish. Architectural details and designer lighting fixtures abound throughout the expansive living spaces, designed with both entertaining and everyday comfort in mind. The grand living room is a true masterpiece, showcasing architectural corbels, a dramatic barrel-vaulted ceiling, and an opulent crystal chandelier and carved Cantera stone fireplace that warmly welcomes guests. Inspired by the charming storefronts of London, a beautifully designed alcove near the foyer provides a perfect showcase for a cherished baby grand piano, a nod to European elegance. Adjacent to the foyer, a private den features sophisticated built-in cherry wood cabinetry and shelving, offering a refined retreat for work or relaxation. Bathed in natural light, the heart of the home is the spacious family room, where coffered ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create warmth and sophistication. French slider doors and a telescoping wall of glass connect to an expansive covered patio for indoor/outdoor entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper, featuring Cambria quartz countertops, intricate trimwork with brass accents, and clean high-gloss white cabinetry. A walnut butcher block countertop on the expansive island, paired with brass-finished pendant lights by Visual Comfort & Co., adds warmth, and a 60" Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, 48" Viking gas range with dual ovens, warming drawer and dual Bosch dishwashers create the ultimate culinary haven. The owner's suite offers a spacious retreat with serene views of the Valley. The ensuite bath is bathed in natural light, its walls adorned with vertically-laid geometric tiles and the freestanding tub is flanked by two leaded-glass privacy windows. Gleaming white cabinets and quartz counters are accented by brass Kohler Purist faucets and coordinating hardware. A walk-in closet with customized shelving offers a 3-way dressing mirror and a secondary washer and dryer for convenience. Step downstairs to a 1,524 sf finished basement with high ceilings and a 'walk out ' exit, which also features an impressive entertaining space equipped with surround sound and its own built-in stage and wet bar area. Two large bedrooms, a full bath and an oversized storage room also occupy this secluded retreat. Outside, experience the unparalleled beauty of the Arizona landscape, perfectly positioned on an elevated bluff to capture panoramic views of the Valley. The outdoor amenities are spectacular, featuring a custom-designed 10-foot deep swimming pool with a spa and slide, and a lush grassy lawn and private garden seating area has served as the backdrop for elegant wedding receptions and countless outdoor gatherings. Additional backyard highlights include a newly installed putting green, expansive covered patios, an outdoor pool bath, a children's playground, and a built-in BBQ and ramada. A full-size laundry center and craft room features abundant cabinetry and countertop space, a built-in ironing station, and a center island perfect for projects and organizing. The estate also boasts a 1,328-square-foot extended-length three-car garage, complete with built-in cabinets, over-height doors, a 50-amp outlet and ample storage. Above the garage, an additional 987-square-foot air-conditioned bonus space offers endless possibilities, serving as a playroom, fitness room, workshop, or extra storage. Furthermore, the property's generous building envelope could provide the opportunity for the addition of an RV garage or detached guest house, adding even more potential to this already impressive estate. RV hookups are on site, including an outdoor 50-amp charging station, water access and dump station. The community of Pueblo Viejo maintains a stocked koi pond with a casacading waterfall, as well as a private-use lighted tennis and pickleball court. Convenience cannot be understated, as this private retreat is just minutes from Sky Harbor Airport, restaurants and shopping in downtown Scottsdale and Phoenix, and offers close access to world-class golf, hiking, boating, paddling, cycling and mountain biking.
