The Most Expensive Home sold in Arizona last week

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Zion Realty

How expensive is it to live in Paradise Valley, Arizona? Very expensive! Last week's most expensive home that sold in Arizona fetched almost $650 per square foot! There are plenty of other parts of the Country where that figure might not seem so high but for Arizona standards it's at the top of any price range you'll find here. The price per square foot number isn't the only statistic that stands out with this home either. It only took slightly over one month to sell this property and it was an all cash deal! I don't know about you but I don't have $1.7 million dollars just laying around waiting to purchase a home. But then again, that's the type of clientele that you'll find moving to Paradise Valley. 

Don't let the adobe slump block exterior fool you in to thinking this isn't a high class home. The interior was completely renovated from floor to ceiling in 2012. This property was redesigned to show off the timeless simplicity and style of a Phoenix area home that was originally built in 1961 but has been brought in to the modern era. The exposed brick and wood plank ceilings combined with classic light fixtures and sleek new shaker style kitchen cabinets keep that old and new balance right where it should be. Spectacular views of Camelback Mountain and sitting on over an acre of land in a highly sought after area add to the uniqueness and desirability of this home. Click on the picture below for the full MLS listing:

Location: Paradise Valley

Size: 2,630 sqft

Bedrooms: 3

Bathrooms: 2.5

Lot size: 48,989 sqft

Hi Nicole - $1.7M isn't close to the top of your market, but that home would be a winner in any market. Gorgeous!

The overall price isn't too high but the price per square foot is very high for that area!

Compared to others you've featured, that certainly is more affordable.  But 1.7 million in CASH?  Wow.  Dare to dream.

There isn't a lot of cash in this area anymore so an all cash deal at that price point is surprising.

It doesn't seem like much on the exterior but a fully renovated home in that area is going to fetch the type of money it got!

Paradise Valley is so nice...  last time I was there ( a couple of years ago), my nephew took me to a restaurant called "Elements at Sanctuary".  It was excellent!  Are they still in business?

Hi Nicole,

Although the price per square foot sounds alarming, I know it was worth every penny and then some!!!

What a beautiful place to call home! It's a great house for entertaining too!
