8520 E PLAZA Avenue Modern updates, thoughtful design, and a backyard built for Arizona living. This move-in-ready Scottsdale home showcases quality craftsmanship and smart upgrades throughout, including a full remodel completed in 2013/2014 with updated electrical, HVAC, and plumbing. Inside, the bright open layout is enhanced by custom cabinetry, elegant neutral tile flooring, recessed lighting with dimmers, shutters throughout, and oversized windows that bring in abundant natural light. The north/south exposure adds to the home's comfort and efficiency, while generous storage keeps everything organized and uncluttered. The kitchen stands out with granite countertops, custom espresso cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and clever storage features like sliding shelves... a two-tier lazy Susan, and a mobile island with wine storage. Living and dining spaces connect seamlessly to the covered patio through large sliding glass doors, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow that's ideal for entertaining or relaxing at home. The primary suite features pool views, a walk-in closet, and a modern en-suite bath with dual vanities, granite counters, and a custom-tiled step-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, one ideal for a home office, along with a stylish second bath and a full indoor laundry room with custom cabinetry, add everyday convenience. Outside, the low-maintenance backyard features a covered patio, open grassy areas, and a refreshing pool, ready to enjoy as-is or customize into a designer retreat. The front yard highlights desert landscaping with Camelback Mountain views, while the quiet, established neighborhood adds to the home's appeal.
