About this home
Set on over 2 acres in the prestigious Thunder Mountain community of Northeast Mesa, this EXCEPTIONAL HILLSIDE ESTATE commands the largest lot in the neighborhood. Perched above it all, the property extends up the mountainside, offering a rare sense of privacy and scale while capturing SWEEPING VIEWS of glowing sunsets, sparkling city lights, and surrounding mountain vistas. Expansive picture windows frame the beauty at every turn, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while reflecting a refined blend of contemporary and territorial architecture. Multiple balconies offer varied vantage points, each capturing a unique perspective of the breathtaking surroundings. A stone-clad patio deck anchors the outdoor living space, where a negative-edge pool and spa with dramatic fire pots overlook the twinkling city lights and blooming desert below. The private driveway leads to an expansive motor court with additional guest parking and access to two garages, creating a grand arrival. The formal entry features an arched iron and glass door opening to a stunning living space with exquisite large-format marble tile floors, soaring 23-foot ceilings, striking architectural details, and a wall of windows.
Upon entry, a glass wall frames the awe-inspiring views that stretch for miles, with automated shades for comfort throughout the day. The grand kitchen is a true showpiece, designed for both entertaining and everyday living. It features a separate wet bar with beverage refrigerator, dual islands with high-grade granite, and a striking alcove centered around a 60" Viking gas range with double ovens and a pot filler. Additional highlights include a warming oven, dual sinks, and separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units, all complemented by a pot filler, glass-tiled backsplash, and rich knotty alder cabinetry.
A formal dining room with an arched window invites lush desert scenery into the space, while a domed ceiling adds architectural drama. The game room offers access to the exterior patio and is ideal for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, sit-up counter, and additional beverage refrigerator. Enjoy your favorite movies or sports in the fully equipped home theatre, featuring three rows of adjustable reclining seating, dimmable lighting, and premium sound.
The owner's suite is privately situated in its own wing, featuring authentic wood flooring and an interior balcony that overlooks the main living space below. Expansive windows and French doors lead to a large, private balcony--the perfect setting to take in captivating views of the Phoenix skyline, surrounding mountain vistas, and the lush Sonoran Desert.
