Hello, friends! I’m DeDe Forwood, your passionate REALTOR® with HomeSmart, and I couldn’t be more excited to unveil this breathtaking gem at 7050 E Carriage Trails Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85266.
Imagine the warm Arizona sun filtering through dual-pane windows, casting a golden glow across 2,666 square feet of luxurious living space on a sprawling 0.45-acre lot. Built in 1994 and offered at $1,150,000, this 3-bedroom + den/office, 2-bathroom haven has been cherished by its original owner, who infused it with meticulous updates and refined finishes that evoke a sense of timeless elegance. The scent of fresh desert blooms wafts in on the breeze, while the smooth tile floors underfoot provide a cool respite from the day’s heat.
An Entertainer’s Dream: Flowing Spaces and Culinary DelightsEnvision sunlight dancing across vaulted ceilings as you step inside, the air filled with the faint aroma of polished wood and fresh linens. The formal living room flows gracefully into the dining area, where the clink of fine china and laughter from dinner parties echo against elegant walls. But the true pulse of the home beats in the eat-in kitchen—a symphony of sizzling pans on the gas cooktop, the rich scent of granite counters mingling with brewing coffee. The spacious island, with its smooth surface perfect for kneading dough or perching on barstools, invites tactile interactions, while the breakfast nook offers access to the charming giant patio and also spills into the family room. Here, the crackle of a wood-burning fireplace warms your skin on chilly evenings, complemented by the custom bar where the fizz of a freshly poured drink adds to the cozy ambiance.
Versatility reigns supreme: The office/den, flooded with natural light that highlights the soft textures of your favorite books or artwork, can transform into a fourth bedroom if needed —imagine the hush of a quiet workspace or the gentle rustle of pages in a hobby haven. The split floor plan offers privacy, with secondary bedrooms where the soft whisper of ceiling fans lulls you to sleep.
The primary suite is your personal oasis, where morning light bathes the space in a soft, ethereal glow from bump-out windows and easy access to mornings on the patio. Feel the cool underfoot as you approach dual updated vanities with granite tops, then sink into the jetted tub where warm bubbles soothe aching muscles, or step into the glass-enclosed shower with steam rising like a desert mist. The expansive walk-in closet organizes your wardrobe with a satisfying click of hangers, spacious linen closet for all your needs and the private “throne room” ensures serene seclusion.
Backyard Bliss: Your Private Oasis Under the StarsVenture outside to a sensory wonderland: The gigantic covered patio hums with the gentle buzz of desert wildlife, its cool shade inviting you to linger over steaming coffee in the morning hush or gather around twinkling string lights for evening conversations laced with the scent of blooming cacti. Multiple seating areas beckon with soft cushions that cradle you, surrounding a spa. The gas fire pit crackles with flames that dance like fireflies, warming your face as marshmallows toast to a golden crisp. Fire up the outdoor kitchen’s grill for the sizzle of steaks and the chill of drinks from the fridge, all while a soothing fountain gurgles softly in the background. Meander the walking trail through mature landscaping, where the crunch of gravel underfoot mingles with the vibrant colors of succulents and the distant call of quail, offering mountain vistas that stir the soul. An RV gate stands ready for your adventures. Eco-savvy touches enhance the experience: Tesla solar panels quietly harness the sun’s relentless energy, reducing bills with a whisper of sustainability, while the whole-home water softener delivers silky water that caresses your skin.
The side-entry 3-car garage, with its organized cabinets and extended length, offers the satisfying thud of tools in storage, and the curved driveway accommodates four more vehicles with ease.

Proximity to upscale shopping, gourmet dining with flavors that tantalize the palate, world-class golf courses where the thwack of clubs meets fresh-cut grass, and hiking trails alive with the crunch of boots on earth, makes life here irresistible.
