Positioned in the sought-after Canada Ridge community of North Scottsdale, this beautifully updated two-story home delivers the light, space, and livability that discerning buyers search years to find. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows flood every room with natural light and frame stunning mountain views that set this home apart from the moment you walk in.
Spanning 2,571 square feet, this 3-bedroom plus office, 2.5-bath residence offers a fully remodeled kitchen with white custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances opening to a casual dining space with sweeping outdoor views. The great room connects seamlessly to the backyard through a wall of glass, and a separate wet bar adds an entertaining dimension rarely found at this size. The primary suite upstairs is a true retreat. Mountain views, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass-enclosed walk-in shower with dual rain heads, dual vanities with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in closet behind sleek mirrored sliding doors.
The backyard delivers. Private pool and spa, artificial turf lawn, covered patio, outdoor fireplace, and a built-in BBQ -- all within a mature, privately landscaped lot.
The three-car garage is a genuine differentiator. Most homes on this floor plan converted the third bay into a bedroom, creating an awkward layout. This one kept it. Floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry and overhead storage racks complete the package.
The home has been systematically maintained. Full kitchen and flooring remodel in 2018. Full bath remodel and new roof in 2019. Both AC units replaced in 2021 and 2025. New furnace and water heater in 2025. Fresh interior paint in 2026. Buy with confidence.
Minutes from Pima and Pinnacle Peak, AJs, Mastros, The Little Snitch Coffee Shop, world-class hiking and biking, DC Ranch Marketplace, and Loop 101. Close enough to everything. Far enough from the noise.
