A Dream Team Comes Together Like a Symphony to Create a Custom Estate That is a Work of Art, introducing Ellington Heights in Silverleaf ''There is no art when one does something without intention.'' — Duke Ellington. Without a doubt the King of Jazz would consider Ellington Heights—a sleek and stylish gem—a superb work of art. Nestled in the sun-kissed upper canyon of Silverleaf, an exclusive enclave in Scottsdale, Arizona, the design for this magnificent estate collected inspiration from the social, artistic and cultural dynamism of the Roaring Twenties era. Further, the design journey for this modern desert prairie-style home, included finding perfect harmony with its Sonoran surroundings.

Every inch of the 17,000-plus square-foot home, plus 9,000 square feet of covered outdoor living space, was contemplated with discerning intention, understanding the exacting standards of the high-net worth individuals who will find Ellington Heights compelling. It's a modern estate yet perfectly at home in the Arizona desert. And, much like the desert itself, the design exudes understated simplicity, yet is significant in its detail. Envisioned with only the finest materials and finishes available, the homeowner can expect perfection at every turn. Open and airy to accommodate the natural light, the design celebrates the sweeping views of the valley below, including a unique, geographical saddle, offering stunning sunsets and city lights as the day progresses.

The homeowner and guests will gather around several bars and in game areas. They will linger in indoor/outdoor spaces, around inspiring fire features, expansive landscaped patios and will enjoy the benefits of a 90-foot-long lap pool and integrated spa. Enthusiasts will also appreciate the outdoor golf simulator and practice-perfect putting green. The estate's materials palette includes a beautiful mix of ledgestone, limestone, hemlock and clay tile, providing a subtle yet distinctive contrast. The interior choices were directly inspired by the exterior. Expect a layered, yet monochromatic look incorporating a moody, sophisticated mix of bronzes, beiges and "minky" hues. Nine fireplaces are wrapped in natural stone. The chevron-patterned wood floors throughout Ellington Heights provide a further nod to the jazz-infused era of inspiration.

Clean, elegant, and timeless define the home's primary kitchen. Exuding modern luxury, it's a vibrant space in which to indulge the senses, share experiences with friends and family and create lasting memories. Only the finest integrated appliances have been selected for the estate home including the exquisite craftsmanship of Eggersmann Kitchens in the primary kitchen, lounge and bar. Expect Wolf and SubZero amenities in the back-service kitchen, car bar, casita and exercise room. The future homeowner will find the spacious, primary suite a place of respite and luxury within the comfort of home. Fine details, tailor-made for Ellington Heights will refresh and inspire while the bespoke wardrobe area promises to elevate dressing to a special occasion. The home has many destination points, including the wellness center, where you'll find an indoor spa area complete with an infrared sauna, steam shower and cold plunge pool. The exercise room, located within a glass catwalk connecting the main home to a guest casita, provides outstanding views for the fitness-minded. The guests of Ellington Heights will appreciate the comfort, convenience and privacy provided by an expansive 1,324 square foot casita with its own garage.

Among the seven-bedroom, ten-bath home's many distinctive features, is a below-level, auto-display garage with a car lift and turntable that can handle 20 vehicles.
