On the Boards: Ellington Heights at Silverleaf // Drewett Works

Located in one of north Scottsdale’s most prestigious communities, Ellington Heights at Silverleaf was designed to break the mold yet harmonize with the neighborhood’s existing classic Spanish estates.

Situated in an upper canyon of the McDowell Mountain Range, Ellington Heights at Silverleaf offers unprecedented views of downtown Phoenix. This Modern Desert Prairie home, a style that originated with Frank Lloyd Wright, is characterized by large overhangs, an expansive hip roof, and a horizontal form—is defined by a striking mix of ledgestone, limestone, hemlock, and clay tile.

Harkening back to an earlier era, the overall look is modern with a Roaring 20s/Art Deco edge. Inside, a moody blend of bronzes, beiges, and “Minky” hues in the fixtures, finishes, and furnishings imbues an understated yet sophisticated vibe.

This three-story, seven-bedroom house was designed with entertaining in mind and incorporates expansive patios, full-scale bars, game areas, an outdoor golf simulator, a putting green, and a 90-foot-long lap pool.

For the car enthusiast, a below-ground auto-display garage accommodates a car lift concealed outdoors by vegetation. As an added bonus, the upper-level pool can be viewed through a glass wall from the garage showroom. Other amenities include a guest casita, guest suites, a wellness center, an exercise room, and multiple water and fire features.

Ellington Heights is currently available for purchase. For more information, please contact us at info@drewettworks.com.
