The Aerie is uncompromised excellence \u2014 an estate home built to the highest standards of design, d\u00e9cor, furnishings, landscaping and outdoor appointments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Modern\/Transitional-style home is in highly desirable Laurel Lane Estates along the Cactus Corridor and within minutes of the many recreational, cultural, sports, shopping and culinary opportunities of Scottsdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Built in 2001, the gated five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home, 10754 East Laurel Lane, includes a four-car garage and showcases interiors completed about a year ago by one of Scottsdale\u2019s finest designers, Cristin Graham, accommodating both large-scale entertaining, intimate gatherings and everyday living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life is a series of moments, and The Aerie is one of them \u2014 a special place to create those moments for yourself, your family, friends and business associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brightened by year-round Scottsdale sunshine, the meticulously maintained compound offers state-of-the-art outdoor amenities in a private resort atmosphere. These include a boulder-appointed 60,000-gallon diving pool; heated spa; cascading water features; custom waterslide; poolside fireplace; regulation-size pickle-ball court; basketball\/sport court; children\u2019s play area; putting green; and a built-in patio barbecue. An irrigation system nourishes grass in the front and natural desert in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The owner\u2019s family has about 20 residences throughout the West, many with names celebrating birds native to the areas: \u201cAt this home you can sit all day and watch the most amazing birds come and go. Many of them live in the cacti: Gila woodpeckers, burrowing owls and black hawks \u2014 full families of several generations coming back every year. For me, this parallels the resonance of the property: our family sharing year after year in a resort-level home with a captivating vibe, and so beautiful in terms of grounds and views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a mammoth property for families to indulge and replenish,\u201d she adds. \u201cAnd, you can move in with just a suitcase; everything you see is included with your arrival, including the furnishings and fixtures. What isn\u2019t included is an HOA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A circular driveway dramatically delivers you and your guests to a covered portico which leads inside to a columned archway rotunda with inlaid marble on the floor \u2014 a harbinger of the other grand spaces within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finished with light hardwood flooring, the adjacent living room is perfect for greeting visitors; this leads to the formal dining room for large-group sit-downs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/06152951\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-06-at-11.25.57-PM-80x53.jpg\")
