Inspired by an unlimited budget and a blank canvas, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty provides an opportunity for a one-of-a-kind buyer to own one of the finest properties in the Western United States, with architectural craft that has created a timeless and contemporary residence.

The jaw-dropping home, located at 9625 E AW Tillinghast Road in Scottsdale, is listed for $12,500,000, making it the highest priced residence on the market in Desert Mountain.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Luxury Agents Jay Pennypacker and Frank Aazami present the six bedroom, eight bath home, which sits on 16 acres on the promontory of a mountain, providing both privacy and luxury.

Designed with details such as Hope Steel doors, limestone flooring and custom copper details and trims around every window, doorway and wall, this lavish residence makes a statement to architecture around the country with its structure consisting of only of masonry, concrete and steel.

No details go unnoticed here, even the pioneering roof being decorated with “folded plates” of copper, adding even more rich texture.

The main residence hosts an extravagant master suite, as well as several living and entertaining areas, making this the perfect place for not only privacy but also for hosting guests, something any owner of this detail-oriented home would want to do.
