Property Description

Perched on one of Fountain Hills' most coveted hillside view lots, 16920 E Monterey Drive is a rare contemporary landmark—one of the town's very first custom hillside homes—reimagined into an architectural masterpiece where design and panorama take center stage. Walls of glass frame sweeping golf course, city, and mountain views, culminating in a picture-perfect vantage point of the iconic Fountain Hills Fountain—the tallest operating fountain in the U.S. and a defining symbol of the town. This home lives differently—in the best way. The main level is an open, contemporary showpiece with vaulted ceilings, dramatic window lines, and seamless indoor/outdoor flow through expansive sliding glass doors. At the heart, a fully remodeled kitchen anchors the space with custom cabinetry, stunning quartzite countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliancesdesigned for effortless entertaining while the views do the talking. Set on nearly 1.2 acres, the property feels private and expansive, offering multiple outdoor moments to chase sunrises, sunsets, and incredible views. The layout lives far beyond what you'd expect, with primary-style suites on both the main level and the lower leveleach featuring generous en-suites, large walk-in closets, and the kind of space and privacy that's hard to find. Downstairs, a large flex space adds even more versatilityideal as a media lounge, game room, or creative studio, and easily adaptable to your needssupported by an additional full bathroom and multiple walkouts that spill directly to the pool for a true resort-style rhythm. And when you want even more separation, the newer addition delivers. Designed as a modern extension of the home, it lives like a private casitaperfect as a guest retreat, multigenerational suite, office, game room, or whatever fits your lifestylecomplete with its own full bathroom and multiple exits for added privacy and convenience. A major remodel transformed the home over multiple years with thoughtful, high-impact improvements throughout. Updated flooring, new ceilings and drywall, renovated baths, refreshed interior finishes, and meaningful electrical and plumbing upgrades that let you enjoy the home with confidencenot just style. Big-ticket improvements have been handled as well, including a new steel roof, dual-pane Low-E windows and sliding doors, updated HVAC components, recent water system upgrades, and extensive exterior enhancements. Outdoor living is equally dialed in with a newer deck, refreshed exterior finishes, upgraded landscaping with irrigation, and pool-related updates that make the backyard feel like a private retreat. In a town defined by views, this one stands apart. Set high above it all yet moments from everything, 16920 E Monterey Drive is an architectural original - equal parts sanctuary and showpiecewith a level of prestige, privacy, and presence that simply can't be replicated.
