$2,700,000
4 Beds 5 Baths 7051130 MLS 4,983 SqFt.
Desert Reverie is the kind of home that stays on your mind long after you leave. Set behind the gates of Pinnacle Canyon at Troon North, this custom single-level home offers 4 ensuite bedrooms and a floor plan that feels gracious, refined, and deeply livable. The home moves with intention from the dramatic front living room to the dining room, great room, and guest wing. The kitchen is made for serious use with Viking gas range, built-in Viking refrigerator, pot filler, dual dishwashers and butler's pantry. The backyard is built for Arizona days and twilight nights, with a shaded patio, extensive travertine pavers, pool, elevated spa, water features, and desert landscaping. Near Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, Troon North Golf Club, Pinnacle Peak and North Scottsdale amenities. What makes this home memorable is not one single feature. It is the way the rooms reveal themselves. The arrival begins at the private gated courtyard, where the home starts to feel tucked away before you ever step inside. From there, the entry opens into a series of spaces with shape, character, and purpose. Arches frame the view. Light fixtures become little works of art. The front living room makes a statement, but still feels like a room you would actually use...a place to sit by the fire, a game, a quiet afternoon, or whatever the moment calls for. The dining room has its own sense of occasion, with a lighted domed ceiling and doors that open back to the courtyard. The kitchen is not just a showpiece; it is the place people will naturally find themselves, pulling up a stool, staying close to the cook, drifting toward the breakfast room, then settling into the great room as the day slows down. Connected, but not one big room, the living spaces give everyone somewhere to land without feeling crowded into the same scene. The primary suite brings the drama. Draw the curtains. Let the sunshine in. Either way, the room knows how to set a mood, with a fireplace, sitting area, generous closet space, and a bath that leads to one of the home's best surprises: a coffee bar and a tucked-away room beyond. Use it as a private lounge, dressing space, reading room, or simply the place no one else has to know about. On the opposite side of the home, the guest spaces were designed with real stays in mind. Each one feels considered, with privacy, storage, and room to settle in. The largest guest suite adds another layer, with its own coffee bar and the feeling of a separate corner of the home. Outside, the sound of water changes the whole mood. The spa spills into the pool, the patio stays shaded, and the setting feels ready for morning coffee, long afternoons, and the kind of desert evenings that make people linger just a little longer. This is Desert Reverie, a home to experience in person, and one you may find yourself thinking about long after you leave.
