Some homes invite you to look. This one invites you to linger. Set on a lot of more than 9,000 square feet within gated Monterey at Mountain View, this meticulously maintained, 2,795-square-foot residence brings together Country French character, beautifully appointed interiors, and a private garden retreat. Built in 1991 and thoughtfully updated, it offers enduring style and an unmistakable sense of home. Travertine flooring, high ceilings, custom cabinetry, and beautiful window coverings create an elegant, welcoming atmosphere. Generously proportioned living spaces make the home feel wonderfully spacious, with formal dining for memorable gatherings and a fireplace that brings warmth and charm to the family room. Fresh paint adds to the beautifully cared-for presentation. The Country French-inspired chef's kitchen is as inviting as it is functional, featuring a gas stove, pot filler, and custom cabinetry. Whether preparing a quiet dinner or hosting friends, this is a kitchen designed to be enjoyed. Three bedrooms provide space to unwind, including a spacious primary retreat with two closets, a jetted tub, a separate shower, and a double vanity. Step outside, and the garden becomes another living space. Designed and lovingly tended by a master gardener, the backyard surrounds a tranquil pond and water feature with flowering plants, lush greenery, and exceptional privacy. Seasonal roses bring a particularly beautiful display from winter into spring, while fruit trees add to the garden's charm. Beneath the covered patio, flowing tie-back draperies frame an inviting outdoor room--a beautiful setting for morning coffee, candlelit dinners, or relaxed evenings beside the water. The connection between home and garden makes entertaining feel effortless. A two-car garage and two Trane HVAC units, approximately eight years old, complement the home's thoughtful care and upkeep. Beyond the gates, Scottsdale's shopping, dining, and nightlife are within easy reach. Timeless, private, and filled with character, this is a home whose finest qualities are best experienced in person.
