A Rare Gem in McCormick Ranch – Designed by E.T. Wright & Masterfully Renovated
Nestled in the heart of McCormick Ranch, this exceptional Sands Scottsdale Townhome, originally designed by iconic Valley builder E.T. Wright, embodies the best of late mid-century modern design with Arizona Spanish influences. Reimagined in 2022 with a meticulous, high-end renovation, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence has been transformed into a showcase of craftsmanship, quality, and architectural integrity.
Unlike a standard “spec” remodel, every detail was carefully considered, from the handcrafted tile work to the custom white oak cabinetry, delivering a level of luxury typically found in much higher price ranges. The split-bedroom layout offers privacy, while an inviting sheltered foyer leads to a light-filled living and dining area that seamlessly connects to the beautifully landscaped backyard.
A Backyard Sanctuary – Thoughtfully Designed for Entertaining & Relaxation
The outdoor spaces rival high-end resort living, featuring a built-in barbecue with hand-painted Talavera tile, a propane fire pit, and two custom Pergolas with ponderosa pine seating. A standout feature is the outdoor shower, framed by handcrafted breeze blocks, offering a spa-like experience under the Arizona sky. The lush landscaping includes Corten steel planters filled with sculptural fire-stick plants, blending seamlessly with the home’s modern yet organic aesthetic. A new irrigation system ensures easy maintenance, while new exterior stucco, paint, gutters, and lighting enhance curb appeal. Every detail, from the new Marvin windows to the new skylights illuminating the bathrooms and carport, speaks to the thoughtful transformation of this home.
Exceptional Interior Upgrades – Elevated Living at Every Turn
The view-through galley kitchen, complete with an extended pantry and laundry area, is both functional and stylish. The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity and a luxurious walk-in shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms, each with their own walk-in closet, offer versatility for guests, a home office, or creative space. New ductwork and vents ensure modern efficiency, while large skylights flood the bathrooms with natural light. The home was purchased from its original owner and carefully restored to an unparalleled level of finish and quality that sets this property apart.
