THE SECRET SCOTTSDALE GARDEN OASIS. Ahhh...You would never know it's there...Disappear through the gate into the most enchanting private retreat in the Valley WITH 2-CAR GARAGE AND OVER 2,000 SQFT! A private garden oasis paradise, canopied in mature trees & cascading bougainvillea, filtering the Scottsdale sun into dappled shade over meandering brick pathways, hand-painted murals, instruments & touches in every corner. An ultimate setting for entertaining under the central gazebo...guests wander to find a new chat nook around every bend. Warm, magical, & wildly private, this is indoor/outdoor living next to Eldorado Park & greenbelt unlike anything in Scottsdale. The brilliant light-filled artist's studio opens straight out to the garden, and the primary suite adds its own private walkout This is a garden you have to wander to believe. Follow the brick paths as they curve past a hand-muraled courtyard wall, a blue mosaic fountain, and shady seating areas that seem to appear out of nowhere -- one moment you're under a rose-covered arbor, the next you've found a quiet reading corner, and the next you're at the dining gazebo, ready to seat a crowd. Bougainvillea spills over the pergolas in hot pink, while orange bird-of-paradise and desert blooms line the front walk. It's the kind of backyard that turns a Tuesday into an occasion -- and makes hosting effortless, whether it's a dinner party for twelve or a quiet morning with coffee and the birds. The concrete Spa Pad and its 220V hookup is waiting for your new above ground hot tub!
Inside, the home keeps surprising you. A dedicated artist's studio has its own direct walkout to the Secret Garden and soaring custom windows that pour in natural light -- use it as a fourth bedroom suite, a home office, a clinic or wellness practice space, or a working studio. Easy to create a direct separate access from the street, it's a rare setup for anyone who wants to have a practice or creative work from home without sacrificing privacy.
The long-time owners are creative professionals, and it shows: the home is layered with warm, unexpected touches, from a jewel-toned, hand-muraled bath to art and other touches displayed throughout. They've also been thoughtful about wellness -- cork flooring runs through much of the home, a naturally hypoallergenic, softer-underfoot alternative that adds to the home's easy, grounded feel.
The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with a generous adjoining reading and office area that opens through a third private walkout to the garden -- so morning coffee among the bougainvillea is never more than a few steps away.
Four bedrooms in all, situated on a desirable corner close to Eldorado Park and minutes from shopping, dining, and parks. But the real story here isn't the square footage -- it's the sanctuary. Homes with this much soul, and a garden this alive, don't come along often.
