Perched on an elevated 0.85-acre lot in the guard-gated The Country Club at DC Ranch, this 4,142 sq ft single-level custom home blends modern architecture, dramatic light, and refined desert living. A striking exterior of stone, stucco, metal roofing, and ironwork sets a bold tone against the McDowell Mountains. Inside, a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, sculptural fireplace, and wide-plank wood floors creates an immediate sense of scale and sophistication. Open living, dining, and lounge spaces flow seamlessly, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a large central island and features two dining/lounge areas with direct patio access. A built-in coffee and cocktail bar with integrated coffee system, ice maker, wine fridge, and beverage cooler adds hotel-level convenience. Sliding glass doors open to an outdoor kitchen and BBQ island backing to natural desert with a glimpse of the 17th fairway. The primary suite is a private retreat with space for a sitting area or fitness zone and direct access to a secluded patio overlooking saguaros and open desert. The spa-inspired bath showcases a dramatic soaking tub on a raised platform, dual vanities, oversized shower with corner window, and a generous wrap-around closet. Two additional ensuite bedrooms each offer private patio access and desert views. A front-facing office or studio features a large picture window framing mountain and clubhouse views and custom cabinetry for storage and display. A finished flex room off the garage - recently upgraded with drywall, trim, paint, and improved insulation - provides versatility as a gym, studio, or workspace while maintaining full three-car garage functionality. Outdoor living is enhanced by thoughtfully curated desert landscaping, updated grading and drainage, and multiple patios capturing shaded mornings, golden-hour mountain views, and evenings around the pool and spa with city lights beyond. Every bedroom enjoys direct outdoor access, creating a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Residents of The Country Club at DC Ranch enjoy guard-gated security and miles of walking and biking paths in one of North Scottsdale's most desirable and scenic settings.
