Shimmering Sienna Phoenix, Arizona

Property Description

This corner of the USA is famed for its resorts, but you’ll have a private one of your very own at this Scottsdale home. Part of a friendly community, outside the gates there’s enough shopping, food and golf to satisfy enthusiasts of any level. However, inside the doors of this remodelled hillside home, it's all about relaxation with a distinct luxe twist. The master bedroom, in particular, is a showstopper, with its red leather sofa, huge en-suite bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows which make the most of the view of the desert, as well as the fuchsia bougainvillaea that border the entire house. There are two parts of this home we think will get repeat visits — the restaurant-quality indoor bar area that puts drinks cabinets masquerading as such to shame and the outdoor hot tub. Bring the two together — responsibly, of course — for an evening you won't forget in a long time.

Home truths:
*If you are bringing children, please note the house is not childproofed and they must be supervised at all times around the swimming pool as it's deep and not fenced
*We recommend a car for visiting areas like Phoenix, the Sonoran Desert and Tonto National Forest
*There could be squabbling when it comes to beds — at full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the fourth bedroom
