Ascent at The Phoenician®️: A Desert Sanctuary

Sponsored - Property of the Week: Ascent at The PhoenicianÂ®ï¸ is Arizona’s most prestigious address.

Nestled at the base of the iconic Camelback Mountain, flanked by the Sonoran Desert on one side and a golf course on the other, Ascent at The Phoenician®️ is a private gated residential community offering an extraordinary way of life. Located in the heart of Scottsdale, everything you could possibly need is right on your doorstep: fine dining and shopping, hiking trails, and all that The Phoenician®️ resort has to offer.

Comprising the largest residences currently on offer, The Ascent Estate Collection is an exclusive collection of eight three-bedroom plus den residences. With indoor/outdoor living naturally a theme here, spacious open-concept floorplans seamlessly connect the indoors with the outside in one expansive space that is perfect for dining, lounging and entertaining against a dramatic desert backdrop.

Situated on the top level, Residence 409 boasts breathtaking views of both Camelback Mountain and the valley below. An impressive 3,996 sq ft of indoor living space is made to feel even bigger thanks to the glass walls and natural color palette that integrate it with the desert landscape.

Entering the home, the main kitchen/living area is open planned and offers ample opportunities for entertaining friends and family. The living room feels warm and inviting with European oak flooring and direct access to a spacious outdoor terrace. The bulthaup kitchen with Sub Zero Wolf appliances is refined and elegant, mirroring the natural tones of the Sonoran landscape. Tucked just behind is a butler’s pantry with extra counter space ideal for dinner party prep.

The large master bedroom includes a generous walk-in closet and direct access to the outdoor terrace. As with the rest of the home, the spa-inspired bathroom has natural, earthy tones and features floating vanities, quartz countertops, and a free-standing soaking tub.

To complete the home, two further en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets offer guests a serene retreat. There is also a media room with a bar just off the kitchen – the perfect spot to watch the latest blockbuster or sports game. Sliding glass-end walls open and extend the lounging and entertaining space, with sweeping vistas of the landscaped cactus gardens.

The open interiors flow effortlessly to the outdoor patio, where morning coffees can be savored with the sunrise, or dinner parties on warm Arizona evenings. But with expansive windows maximizing the natural light and views from each room, you can rest assured that from every vantage point you will be able to appreciate the beauty of the location.

Purchasing one of Ascent’s residences doesn’t just buy you a home, but a part of a vibrant community. Owners have direct access to the Cholla Trail, where you can glimpse some of Phoenix’s most spectacular views. Further pathways and gardens connect the residences to the Mountain Club: a private club for owners at Ascent, which includes a private pool, fitness rooms and social spaces. A private rooftop terrace – aptly named The Summit – provides 360-degree views of the valley and mountain range.
