homes: The Most Expensive Home sold in Arizona last week - 5/17/16 - 05/17/16 01:38 AM
It's only happened a few times in this weekly blog series but last week it happened again. The most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week was a $3.9 million dollar new build property in Paradise Valley, however, neither the sellers nor the listing agent provided much information about the property and uploaded only one exterior photo. Lack of intriguing facts, figures, and photos certainly doesn't make for a good blog post so I'm defaulting this week to the most expensive home that sold in my own town of Gilbert, Arizona last week. A Tuscan style luxury property was sold for $935,000 … (17 comments)

The most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week is a rustic, old-world home that seems strangely out-of-place and yet at the same time totally at home in it's desert location. The exterior follows a familiar Spanish architectural theme with smooth stucco walls and rounded corners along with a flat roof system and dark red tiles. The design style takes a turn with the heavy use of natural wood logs and stone that isn't indigenous to the area. A mix of classic desertscape along with vines and plants allowed to grow along walls and walk-ways provide a combination of greenery that … (18 comments)

The most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week seems like an extravagant golf retreat or time share one would own and visit when the season was just right. Architecturally, the exterior follows a traditional Southwestern pattern with smooth stucco walls, straight lines, and flat roof but with added stone accents to bring this design in to modern times. The builder did add an element not often seen combined with Santa Fe style homes and that is the curved roof feature in the center of the structure which reminds me of an old 1950's drive-in. Great care was taken in the … (19 comments)

I think the best way to describe the most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week would be to say it has a modern southwestern design. The exterior is reminiscent of a quintessential Arizona Santa Fe style home. The flat roof, smooth stucco finish, jagged but straight lines, and neutral brown tones are all of what you would expect from a luxury property situated here in the desert.  The use of flagstone, natural rock, and native vegetation around the perimeter of the property also add to the feel of a what residents in other states must visualize when they think of Southwestern architecture. Even … (15 comments)

The most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week is reminiscent of a rustic ski lodge but instead of being located high in the Rocky Mountains, it's situated on the Sonoran Desert floor. The endless wood work in this multi-million dollar luxury property could only have been completed by a master carpenter and craftsman. Wide plank wood floors, exposed wood beams and wood paneled ceilings, are just a small fraction of what was included in this design style. Add to all of that the custom built in bookshelves, cabinets, fireplace mantles and stair case railings and the amount of expenditure on lumber … (21 comments)
