Backing directly to the Sonoran Desert Preserve, this home ensures exceptional privacy with no rear neighbors and direct access to miles of scenic hiking and biking trails. From your backyard, embrace panoramic vistas of the McDowell Mountains, Pinnacle Peak, and Brown's Mountain -- a rare and coveted setting in North Scottsdale. Designed for effortless living, the 2,845-square-foot great room floor plan features three ensuite bedrooms (including a detached casita), a dedicated office/den, powder room, and 10 and 12-foot ceilings throughout. Expansive windows and a wall of glass doors in the great room flood the home with natural light while framing the spectacular desert backdrop. The kitchen showcases alder wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and an ideal layout for entertaining or everyday comfort. The detached casita offers flexible space for guests, a private office, or an inviting retreat. A charming courtyard entry with a custom iron and wood gate creates an elegant arrival and private access to the casita. The south-facing backyard is designed for year-round enjoyment, highlighted by a deeply covered patio with Cantera stone and an oversized heated 'spool,' creating a true resort-style outdoor experience. Zero-step, single-level living combines timeless transitional style with comfort and functionality, making this home ideal as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or lock-and-leave getaway. The Legend Trail Lifestyle: Residents of Legend Trail enjoy access to an upscale community center featuring two heated pools, spa, expansive fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, banquet and activity rooms -- all included in the affordable quarterly HOA. The community also offers a public championship golf course and on-site restaurant, with miles of walking paths weaving throughout the neighborhood and into the McDowell Mountain Preserve.
