Taj Mahal countertops, an oversized island and top of the line appliances. The spacious primary bedroom opens through retractable doors to the back yard. The spa-like primary bathroom features a large steam shower, soaking tub, double-sink vanity with premium mirror lighting, and a generous walk-in closet. Outside, the resort-style, ultra-private backyard delivers a pool, fire feature, and an oversized grill area; the kind of space designed for both quiet evenings and unforgettable gatherings. The location is simply unmatched, just steps from Lost Dog Wash trail head, Mountainside Middle School, and Desert Mountain High School, two of Scottsdale's most sought-after schools.
