Renovated Arcadia Ranch Home In Scottsdale Mixes Good Modern Living With Vintage Good Looks
A Ranch by definition, this impeccably kept Arcadia home is really a rich, pleasing contemporary with plenty of surprises. Fully renovated by David Michael Miller Associates, it skillfully blends state-of-the-art living with a framework steeped in nostalgia and elegance. (The Scottsdale design firm has been featured in such publications as The New York Times and House Beautiful, and won many awards, including the American Society of Interior Designers’ grand prize.)
Truly the ambiance in this nearly 3,500-square-foot home with 4 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths is one of smart, spacious comfort. Facets that highlight the designer’s touch include clean, angular lines throughout the home, such as in the slate/glass tile/concrete fireplace and the satin lacquer cabinets with soapstone countertops in the bathrooms. The dignified, smoothly textured design style contrasts beautifully with the peaceful look of the many French doors, as well as the lush landscaping they invite inside. The kitchen obliges family life and social life equally well with an island and breakfast bar, white oak cabinets, sub-zero refrigerator and freezer, double ovens and integrated dishwasher. The brick patio in the back takes full advantage of the shady, mini citrus grove and a yard that is picture perfect in its clean, crisp simplicity, but may also provide an inspiring canvas for the creative green thumb. The whole package works beautifully together in a smoothly flowing, open floorplan that really brings this Ranch gem into the lifestyle of the 21st Century.
As of 5/14/08, the home is being offered at $1,475,000. To see all the details about this house and to schedule a viewing click Arcadia home for sale or call me at 602-620-6267.
