5244 N. 37th Place, Paradise Valley
This gated home, renovated by Mike Graham of American First Builders, is every buyer’s dream. With a Camelback Mountain backdrop, the modern Santa Barbara-style stunner has high-quality finishes and a design style that is sophisticated yet casual. White walls and black accents provide a calm aura in the living spaces, which are equipped with multiple wet bars and a massive kitchen, perfect for spending time with friends and family. (But hush, don’t tell all about the 300-bottle wine room.) And if the bright transitional interior space was not enough, walk into the backyard to be immersed by the vibrant green landscaping that surrounds a comfy seating area. When the Arizona heat has become too much, take a dip in the impressively lit zero-edge lap pool. “This home has the first zero-edge lap pool that I’ve ever seen in my 10-year-plus real estate career,” says Andrew Beardsley. Being part of the Real Buyer Network (RBN), a system that allows Amex cardholders to use their points on their home purchase, makes it essentially like you are buying the house with a credit card. “As an approved RBN agent I am able to market my listings with this unique offering,” says Beardsley. “There is the opportunity to earn double the points.”
THE PRICE $4,495,000
THE DETAILS 5 bedrooms, 5 ½ baths, 1.59 acres, 6,197 square feet
THE WOW FACTOR The seven-car garage, perfect for any current or aspiring car enthusiast

3544 E. Rose Lane, Paradise Valley
The coveted Paradise Valley area is known for its impressively grand homes, and this 2007 residence on Rose Lane is no exception. Upon entrance through the ornate iron gates, the future resident is welcomed by a three-story cantera fountain. Its bubbling fills the air with relaxing tones that set a serene mood for the rest of the home. The entryway’s high ceilings support an elaborate chandelier that complements the design of the front door, as well as the exposed wood beams that can be found throughout the rest of the home. Don’t let the grandiosity of the home’s entrance intimidate, though: The rooms in the interior, while luxuriously designed, are exceptionally cozy. Once you’ve spent enough time inside, relaxing by one of the five fireplaces or working out in the modern home gym, take a trip to the backyard and unwind. “Immediately upon entering the courtyard you can’t quite be sure if you may have stopped at The Hermosa Inn, one of Paradise Valley’s most romantic dining spots just blocks away,” says agent Thomas Patrick O’Leary. Float in the pool and be soothed by yet another one of the home’s fountains. Grill your favorite foods in the full outdoor kitchen or hone your putting skills on the full-size green. Telly Award winner O’Leary Luxury Group doesn’t want you to miss out on this beautiful property. “In this market, any inventory that’s good is gone,” says O’Leary. “Winning the Telly Award gave us international recognition for our cutting-edge real estate videos. It vindicated the tremendous investment that we have made using video to tell the story of our featured properties, and there was a very direct connection between those videos and the sale of some exquisite homes in Paradise Valley.”

Camelot Homes, Scottsdale
The Villas. It sounds glamorous; it sounds relaxing; it almost sounds whimsical. And that is exactly what it is. The Villas at Seven Desert Mountain by Camelot Homes is yet another up-and-coming string of residences in Scottsdale. Forty-six of its contemporary homes front No. 7 at Desert Mountain, one of the country’s most acclaimed golf courses. If you are looking for a home in The Villas, look no further: Unit 59 on Cave Creek Road could soon be yours. The home has spectacular mountain views along with ample privacy, as it’s located in a guard-gated neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. The interior is incredibly spacious with floating ceilings that make it feel even more grand. Natural light floods this home, whether it be into the kitchen, which is equipped with German Miele appliances, or the vast great room. When you’re inside you still feel outside, but if you do plan on wandering out, excitement is near. The view may be the first thing you notice. If it’s not, it could be the spool (spa/pool). In the summer months leave it on the cooler side and enjoy a refreshing dip, but when winter rolls around heat it up and treat it like a jacuzzi. A built-in Wolf barbecue and a practice putting green are also included in the backyard, as if being on the 12th hole wasn’t enough. This house has impressive amenities, but Camelot Homes knows how much goes into buying a home. Because of this, it implemented a stay and play program, where potential owners can try before they buy.
THE PRICE $2,875,900
THE DETAILS 3 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, 2,940 square feet
THE WOW FACTOR The incredible views of hole 12, visible from the private backyard
