24350 N WHISPERING RIDGE Way #39 Scottsdale, AZ 85255

Enjoy mountain, sunset and city light views in this beautiful hillside home, located in the gated community of Whispering Ridge at Troon Village.

Nestled into the hillside of picturesque Troon Mountain, this home is perfect as a ''lock and leave'' vacation home or for full-time living. Furnishings are available, making this an easy ''turn-key'' opportunity.

The charming front courtyard--artfully and lushly landscaped--sets the stage for wanting to discover all this home offers. Designer touches are seen throughout. Scottsdale's well-known Wiseman and Gale Interior Designers handled the original renovation details of the home, garden and outdoor areas. The character and details of the home brought it to the attention of Phoenix Home and Garden, leading to the home being featured in one of the magazine's earlier issues.

Outstanding details in the home include a sophisticated lighting system, beautiful wood floors in all the main rooms, designer wall-treatments, a stone fronted fireplace in the family room, custom wood shutters and draperies, mechanical sun- shades, top of the line stainless steel kitchen appliances (SubZero, Viking, Bosch), an abundance of cabinets in the kitchen, a steam shower in the master bath, along with a Kohler soaking tub and a very large walk-in master closet.

Whatever your lifestyle, this 2,920 SF home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms allows for easy living. The great room--highlighted by a massive window that brings in natural light and the patio and sunset views--and the intimate formal dining area offer the perfect casually elegant atmosphere for entertaining.

The best words to describe the heart of the home--the eat-in kitchen that opens directly to the family room, highlighted by the stone stacked fireplace-- is intimate, cozy and relaxed. Sliding patio doors give direct access to the pool, spa and outdoor entertainment areas.

From the south facing outdoor area with its flagstone patio and decking, the pebble tec pool, spa, waterfall feature and a built-in BBQ, you can enjoy gorgeous mountain, sunset and city light views and dining al fresco in front of the outdoor fireplace.

An oversized master suite also provides direct access to the back patio, pool and spa. While both secondary bedrooms are ensuite, one is a perfect junior master bedroom and the the third is currently used as a den/office.

In addition to residents enjoying the community pool at Whispering Ridge, there is also quick access to hiking and biking trails in the Sonoran Desert Preserve, with Pinnacle Peak, Tom's Thumb and Brown's Ranch Trailhead being very close by. Not to be forgotten are area lakes for fishing and boating.

Located a half mile away is the Troon Golf and Country Club, offering golf and social memberships through an application process. In addition, many of Arizona's top golf courses, such as Scottsdale National Golf Club, Troon North, Estancia, The Boulders, DC Ranch Country Club and Silverleaf Country Club are just an 8 to 20 minute drive away. Wonderful casual and fine dining restaurants, all types of shopping, area schools and hospitals, including the Mayo Clinic, are also nearby.

Looking for more? Scottsdale is known for its art and culture and offers an incredible mix of museums, shopping, restaurants, galleries and nightlife, along with a wide range of performing arts and special events such as baseball's spring training, Barrett-Jackson car auction, the Arabian horse show and the Waste Management Phoenix Open Golf Tournament.
