Spring in the Sonoran desert always brings more traffic to Scottsdale and Silverleaf has seen a strong uptick in visits to this golf community in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains.  Last week, Silverleaf Realty sold one of the most exclusive listings in North Scottsdale’s Silverleaf community, an 8,761 foot residence for $5.77 million ($658.45 per square foot).  The home sale was brokered by Mike Lehman and Cynthia Kleerup Penwell.

Located in the heart of Upper Canyon at Silverleaf, this residence sits on a private cul-de-sac and offers city, sunset and mountain views.  The main house features four bedrooms and has a separate two bedroom guest casita with a living room and kitchenette.  The home also includes a large game room with a sunset balcony, a home theater, and two-story library.  The negative edge pool looks out over the sweeping city views with an adjacent outdoor dining area set under dramatic archways with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a fireplace. The front courtyard offers a private dining area and fireplace with an architectural water feature.

To date, Silverleaf Realty has sold more than $74 million in real estate (homes and homesites) at Silverleaf in 2014.
