9363 E CALLE DE LAS BRISAS –, Scottsdale, AZ
“The 5 bedroom, 5 bath home consists of 2 spacious master suites.”
Kinda feels like we’re not getting the whole story there. 5+5=2? Is this an infrastructure house? This humongous home boasts “million dollar views” for only four times the price! There’s also a state of the art smart home system, which was not consulted for the math portions of this Listing. The “I Spy” black v. white interior does not prepare you for the tidy bowl blue pool waiting out back, nor the effervescent views which stretch from the auburn hued McDowell’s to the sparkly suburban sprawl beyond Glendale Arena. The seamless vistas enjoyed by this view deck are unmatched, like the bar stools at the outdoor bar. Do the three bears drink here?
The home rests on Calle De Las Brisas, in Pinnacle Peak Vistas, which is a fascinating street blessed with some of the best vantage points in all of North Scottsdale. The variety of architectural styles found on this street suggest there was a costume party and every house came dressed as a different city. I’m Santa Fe! I’m Los Angeles! This house came dressed as Miami. Look, if we can’t be unified about being different, what good is design?

“Gated Ski lake community.”
There she was just a skiin’ down the street, singin “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
Wavin’ at neighbors while crossin her two skis…screamin… “doh! Whoop! flippy endy end over end!”
Welcome to the lather, rinse, repeat lifestyle of living on a Water Ski Lake. Playa Del Ray is Gilbert’s answer to the unasked question, “Where can I wakeboard in circles for hours at a time, without ever leaving home?”. Listen. Understand. There is a body of water, with an island in the middle, and the boats and skiers circle around the island, over and over and over and over, from dawn until dusk, every day of the week, over…and over….and “one more time?”…over.
Dawn is at 5:48am today.
You will never find a home located on Playa Del Ray’s ‘ski lake’ on this Hot List. That thing’s a waterboarding rotisserie torture device for all involved. However, Playa Del Ray has a second lake; the peaceful pedal boat swan lake. This home backs to that peace loving water feature. Pedal boats are quiet, save the panting, and although they will provide the same “wave at the neighbor passing” obligations, they only pass by every hour or so. You’ll live. Sharp looking house in a super fun neighborhood for a good price. This neighborhood even has its own mini-golf course. 24 hours in a day. 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? This is that neighborhood.

“***Just added full kitchen in Casita***”
Welcome to another episode of Flip that Flop, where we take the absolute worst house in the neighborhood, KILL IT WITH FIRE, then rebuild it as a house drenched in upgrades, which still looks like an arsonist’s wet dream from the outside. Let’s see what happens!
It’s hard to believe the same people that assembled this gorgeous interior, also thought “Captain America on Molly” was the paint scheme curb appeal secret sauce that would launch a victory party. Keen eyed viewers will recognize this tableau of tile samples, as this its second Hot List appearance. Welcome Back! Add a kitchen, drop the price, take another ride!
When confronted with a No Sale debut, these Flippers put down the whine glass and sprang into action, adding a full kitchen to the guest house. We asked what that skateboard ramp contraption in the backyard is for. That, my friends, is a bunker. An unlisted 220 sq ft underground hideout, which is looking more and more like a must have amenity. “Holy hole in the ground Batman!”. Bunker, time-out-space, Mother-In-Law Suite, Alcoholics Unanimous Meeting Pit, whatever you call it…when a certain staggering someone tries to hit the Lunch button and strikes Launch, you’ll be happy to call a hole a home.
