Do you refuse to compromise for anything but the best? This is an exceptional, rare, private, 1.026 acre lot on Exeter Blvd, the most sought after street in prestigious Arcadia proper. And as if that were not enough, it is situated on a county island. This home has so much potential as it is with either a minor or a substantial remodel. Or start fresh and use the spectacular property for your heart's desire. But truly, with some renovation, the beautiful and charming Spanish style of this Olney original could offer many more years of happy living, tucked away in a secluded Valencia orange orchard. It's unique setting gives the feel and privacy of being in the country, yet affords all of the convenience of Old Town Scottsdale. Bring your dreams to reality! Olney left the stamp of his artistic talent with a decorative wrought iron spiral staircase to a balcony in the vaulted ceiling of the foyer, complete with decorative pillars at the entrance of the living room. Truly, a charming, one-of-a-kind home with custom wooden beams in 6 rooms, tongue and groove ceilings, solid block construction, Spanish & Mexican tile and Axminster carpeting. The bright Mexican country kitchen features a built-in, full-size Sub-Zero fridge with Custom Wood Panel to match the festive decorative cabinets, as well as a matching full-size Sub-Zero freezer, and also two built-in Dacor ovens, one with an electric smooth cooktop. The breakfast nook has beautiful views to the gated pool and orchard. The pool area also features an outdoor fireplace and covered patio. The main house has 2 bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with a huge Mexican tile shower and there are also three half bathrooms, one of which adjoins a secondary bedroom. The Master Bedroom has soaring ceilings with clear-story windows and includes a fireplace and retreat. There are two additional wood-burning fireplaces: one in the elegant Living Room and one in the cozy Family Room. The home also features several skylights and colorful and artistic stained glass windows. There is a Guest House connected to the home by a covered porch and located conveniently near the pool. The Guest House features the 5th bedroom and one of the half-baths, plus there is a separate large game room attached (included in the owners' estimate of the square footage). And as if that weren't enough, there is a large three-car, covered carport with pillars matching the main house, and two large storage rooms.
There are just so many possibilities with this unique home on an even more unique lot, in a highly sought after area of Scottsdale! This property was last sold in 1979. There are not many lots of this size that haven't already been rebuilt in this area, making this a truly outstanding and rare opportunity which should not be overlooked.
