Lisa Westcott Lists $27.5M Silverleaf Estate

Luxury Agent Lisa Westcott of the Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Pinnacle Peak office, is representing the seller for the current highest listed residential estate in Arizona. Westcott recently closed on another $24.1 million sale to make Arizona history as the highest residential sale in the state. Now, Westcott is vying to break her own state record with this new $27.5 million listing of another grand estate. 

21053 N 110th Way is located in Scottsdale, Arizona in the guard-gated Upper Canyon of Silverleaf behind its own private gates. The 6 bed, 7 bath, 15,000 square foot estate was built on 4.7 acres in 2017. In 2014, the lot in Silverleaf was purchased and the buyers worked with Architect Dale Gardon and Salcito Custom Homes to craft an exquisite Modern Mediterranean home. 

“When my clients purchased this lot back in 2014 we knew there were endless possibilities,” said Westcott. “With the sellers’ vision, Dale Gardon’s expertise and Salcito Custom Homes quality, the home exceeded all expectations. It is truly an honor as a broker associate to represent such an exquisite estate.” 

“Working with clients was the perfect fit for me and the entire team at Salcito Custom Homes. The clients were looking for an estate suitable to accommodate large scale entertaining, frequent visits from out of state family and friends and at the same time they never wanted to feel out of scale during intimate family time.  The end result is a magnificent modern Mediterranean estate situated and nestled on a private site with endless views of city lights and amazing sunsets.  The clients have sophisticated taste and pay attention to every detail. Those two qualities show up in every inch inside and out of the home. We specialize in meeting the needs of clients like that and we are very proud of this one,” said Anthony Salcito Jr, president and owner of Salcito Custom Homes. 

The never before listed, magnificent private estate is currently priced at $27.5 million. The architectural masterpiece delivers a perfect blend of indoor wonders in unison with an awe-inducing view. The estate was designed to capture a picturesque view of the diamond sparkling Scottsdale city lights and the Camelback and McDowell mountains. 

“Having designed on many fabulous properties, this is one of the most extraordinary homesites in Silverleaf. It offers privacy with a quintessential estate arrival experience down a long descending tree-lined drive that builds anticipation. The grandeur of the home is expressed as a Modern Mediterranean home, and then unfolds upon entering the foyer to a beautiful contemporary arch framed view of the Valley and city lights at night,” said Architect Dale Gordon, “It is rare to be able to design a home with all primary living spaces all enjoying the A+ view orientation indoors and out. The Homeowners allowed us the freedom to configure the home in a manner that captures it all.” 

A beautiful covered outdoor space opens to the resort style backyard that houses a modern deep diving pool equipped with water features, a spa, fire pits, kitchen, and multiple sitting areas with fireplaces and ceiling heaters that ensure stunning Arizona outdoor living and entertaining. 

The main house offers 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms with French limestone and French Oak flooring throughout the inviting estate. Every detail has been thought of and attended to, including gorgeous modern chandeliers and state of the art living spaces. 

The estate embraces luxury living. French flooring lead to sophisticated modern bathrooms that feature heated flooring and steam showers. A breakfast bar is expertly placed to take in the breathtaking views. Gorgeous granite brings the modern luxurious kitchen to life. Flower gardens bring an essence of home to the oasis backyard. 

The home features other amenities including state-of-the-art appliances, a large gym, a 6 car airconditioned garage, tennis court, 7 fireplaces, butler’s pantry, and a wet bar. The estate also offers a state-of-the-art, fully equipped guest house that includes a washer/dryer, dual custom walk-in closets, and its own private outdoor space. 

From the breathtaking foyer and outdoor oasis, to the modern accents, spa inspired bathrooms, and million dollar views this estate is a living piece of art. The best Arizona has to offer. 

The home is just a short distance to the Silverleaf Golf Course and provides access to community events such as Grape Nuts wine club, 24-hour onsite fitness facility, path system, tennis courts, basketball courts, additional pools, and onsite 24-hour guard and gate service. Silverleaf Golf Club is located within the community as a private club available through membership application approval.
