    What's special

    Private pickleball courtOwned solar systemSteam showerGame or exercise room
    Beautifully updated North Scottsdale home featuring over $120,000 in recent improvements in one of the area's most desirable locations. The backyard was designed for both entertaining and everyday living, highlighted by a private pickleball court, mature trees that create exceptional privacy, and plenty of space to enjoy Arizona's outdoor lifestyle. Additional front parking and an owned solar system (not leased) add both convenience and long-term value. Inside, the home's finished basement offers incredible flexibility with a second living room, game or exercise room, steam shower, and full-height windows that bring in natural light. The basement also stays comfortably cool during the summer, making it an energy-efficient extension of the home's living space—perfect for kids, guests, or multi-generational living. The 3-car garage provides ample storage and offers potential for future expansion or additional living space, depending on the buyer's needs. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully improved home with space to live, entertain, and make lasting memories in the heart of North Scottsdale.
