Montana-based Locati Architects crafted this gorgeous Mediterranean-style home situated in the Silverleaf community of North Scottsdale, Arizona. Silverleaf is a private enclave of custom estate homesites and intimate retreats that offer a more elegant lifestyle tucked into the canyons of the McDowell Mountains.
Designed as a dream home for a couple of empty nesters, the overall results are nothing short of spectacular. The decadent backyard comes complete with an infinity pool, waterfall, and a putting green!
The interior design was commissioned by Texas-Based design studio, May Design Group. The interiors reflect a uniquely southwest style of design, with exceptional attention to detail in the floor plan, luxury finishes, and highly skilled craftsmanship.
The interior living spaces encompass 6,513 square feet across two levels. Stunning outdoor living areas take advantage of the year-round weather to enjoy the dramatic mountain views and sunsets.
A seamless connection between indoors and out allows the homeowners to entertain effortlessly. An expansive infinity-edge pool appears to drop off dramatically into the endless desert terrain. Cozy seating areas around outdoor fireplaces add to the desert ambiance. An integrated bar area provides additional seating for guests to enjoy a beverage and swivel their chairs to watch a game on the television above the fireplace.
Sun loungers offer the home’s inhabitants a relaxing oasis to get dried off by the sun after taking a cool dip in the heavenly swimming pool. The covered porches provide relief from the home’s desert sun during the arid summer months. Watching Arizona sunsets on the elevated deck is a treat for the eyes in the evenings.
Above: Agate lamps on the console table were custom-designed for this space. The flooring throughout the main living spaces consists of reclaimed white oak with a light gray wash.
Above: White marble countertops complement the darker hue of the island cabinets. Bar stools provide plenty of seating for guests to kick back and relax while the chef is cooking. The pendant lights above the island were custom-designed for the space by Hinckley Lighting.
Above: This is a second kitchen the homeowners had designed for them. It is a back kitchen (you can catch a glimpse of it in the image above) that they decided to have built after they discovered the beautiful backsplash tiles. The countertops are honed granite, while the cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee. The floating open shelving was custom-fabricated by a local cabinet maker.
What We Love About This Home
This Mediterranean-style home is just as beautiful and magnificent on the outside as it is on the inside. The gorgeous grounds, with an elevated infinity-edge pool, a putting green below, and dramatic mountain views, are the icing on the cake. Inside are spacious interiors with walls that disappear, bringing the outside in. Rustic beauty is magnified by wood floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and stone elements both inside and out. Overall, this home is luxury refined, and we love it!
