Privately gated on 2.5 acres in the heart of North Scottsdale, Villa Solare is a distinctive Mediterranean-inspired estate offering exceptional privacy, generous living spaces and true resort-style amenities. A charming central courtyard serves as the heart of the property, connecting the main residence and two-bedroom guest villa while creating an inviting outdoor retreat complete with heated pool and spa, multiple gathering areas, fireplace and European-style fountain.
The main residence features dramatic architectural details throughout, including exposed wood beams, stone fireplaces, French doors and a sweeping circular staircase. The main level offers an expansive great room, intimate dining space, gourmet kitchen with adjoining breakfast and fireplace, two guest suites with private baths, a custom-built office, game room and fully equipped home theater.
Upstairs, the private primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a sitting area, fireplace, private balcony and luxurious bath with a jetted tub positioned to capture beautiful city-light views.
Across the courtyard, the attached two-bedroom guest villa provides additional privacy and flexibility with its own kitchenette and bath featuring a spacious steam shower. Outdoor amenities continue with a built-in BBQ area and putting green, providing plenty of opportunities to entertain, relax and enjoy the Arizona lifestyle.
Meticulously maintained and offered turn-key, Villa Solare has also enjoyed a successful history as a professionally managed luxury vacation rental, making it equally compelling as a primary residence, second home or investment opportunity. Furnishings may be available under a separate bill of sale. A truly unique North Scottsdale estate offering space, privacy and character in an exceptionally convenient location.
