Property Description
Set within the gated North Scottsdale community of Cantada, this beautifully maintained custom residence by Carlson Homes offers just over 4,000 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding desert. Situated on a 0.75 acre lot and backing to natural open space with views toward the Continental Mountains, the home feels peaceful and tucked away while remaining close to everything North Scottsdale has to offer. The experience begins in the private front courtyard, where a custom iron gate and carved wooden doors open to a colorful desert garden framed by mature landscaping, paver stone patios, and an extended shade structure. It's an inviting outdoor room, equally suited to morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or gathering with friends beneath the Arizona sky. Inside, the home's Southwest architecture creates warmth and character at every turn. Graceful curvilinear walls, soaring ceilings, 8-foot arched Alder doors, Alder custom cabinetry, polished 24-inch travertine floors, and wood flooring in each bedroom are complemented by an abundance of natural light. Beyond the custom double wood entry doors, the spacious great room is surrounded by windows on both sides and anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace. A built-in wet bar with seating makes entertaining effortless. Accordion doors open directly to the front courtyard and French doors with retractable screens provide a seamless connection to the back patio, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend naturally. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A generous center island with seating, prep sink, and abundant storage provides a natural gathering place, while Sub-Zero, Dacor, and Miele appliances - including a 5-burner cooktop and double ovens with warming drawer - make the space as functional as it is welcoming. A butler's pantry adds additional workspace and convenience. A sunny breakfast nook overlooks the backyard. while the formal dining area enjoys views of the lush front courtyard. The primary suite is a private retreat positioned to embrace the home's tranquil desert setting. A French door opens to the patio and spool, with views stretching toward the Continental Mountains. The spacious bath offers dual vanities, a dedicated makeup vanity, two private water closets, two walk-in closets, a walk-in shower, and a jetted soaking tub tucked into a windowed nook, a peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day. A split-bedroom floor plan provides exceptional privacy for family and guests. The attached guest suite offers the flexibility of a second primary or self-contained in-law suite, with a kitchenette, ample room for a living area, double French doors opening to the rear patio, and an oversized bathroom and walk-in closet. Two additional generously sized bedrooms each feature their own ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Outdoor living is an integral part of the home. Designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons without demanding extensive upkeep, the backyard offers a fireplace, built-in BBQ, ceiling-mounted outdoor heaters, and a spool with water feature. Whether hosting dinner outdoors, relaxing by the fire, or simply enjoying the quiet of the desert, the natural wash and open space beyond provide a beautiful and private backdrop. Thoughtful details continue throughout the property. The curb appeal of this home is enhanced by beautiful front yard landscaping, mature trees and a wide paver stone driveway. The well-appointed laundry room offers a sink, granite counters, extensive cabinetry, and generous storage, while the garage is equally well considered with epoxy flooring, built-in cabinetry, a workbench with utility sink, overhead storage, a water filtration system, and water softener. Just as important as its beauty, this home reflects years of meticulous care and meaningful investment. Two 5-ton HVAC systems were replaced in 2023, the exterior was painted in 2025, and both the flat and tile roofs were replaced in 2026. The wooden French doors were refinished in 2026. The landscaping irrigation system and outdoor lighting have also been comprehensively updated, and the garage has been equipped with epoxy flooring, built-in cabinetry, a workbench and utility sink, overhead storage, water filtration, and water softener. From mornings in the courtyard to evenings beside the backyard fireplace, this home brings together custom Southwest architecture, inviting indoor-outdoor living, flexible guest accommodations, thoughtful updates, and the privacy of a beautiful natural desert setting.
