About This Property

Cody residence sits on one of the most exceptional lots at Thunderbird Country Club. Nearly 4,000 sq. ft. of timeless mid-century architecture has been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes, fresh interior and exterior paint, remodeled baths, new doors and hardware, and lighting--bringing a crisp, contemporary feel to Cody's original vision. Original blueprints are included.Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home captures breathtaking mountain and fairway views from every major room. A dramatic 16-foot entry with an oversized skylight fills the interior with natural light, leading to spacious living and dining areas and an air-conditioned 3-car garage.The chef's kitchen is a centerpiece, featuring a large Vetrazzo waterfall island, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including a dual-fuel range, double ovens, steam oven, microwave, pot-filler, wine fridge, and Bosch dishwasher. It opens to a beautifully redesigned courtyard anchored by a 40-foot saltwater pool and spa, outdoor fireplace, and generous entertaining space.Each bedroom is ensuite. The expansive primary suite includes a private office and two walk-in closets with custom cabinetry. An attached guest casita with a private exterior entrance offers ideal separation and flexibility.Additional features include three A/C zones, a high-capacity LG washer/dryer, an air-conditioned 3-car garage with epoxy floors and built-in cabinetry, a hot-water return system, leased solar (56 panels, 3 inverters) for enhanced efficiency.
