Find the Perfect Home This Holiday Season

This fall, Shea Homes brought the first Shea Signature luxury community to Paradise Valley. Azure Paradise Valley is located at Indian Bend Road and Mockingbird Lane in the shadow of Camelback Mountain. This exclusive guard-gated community will include 66 homes on 23 acres, adjacent to the upcoming Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley.

“From the level of craftsmanship to the thoughtful design touches both indoors and out, these residences will deliver an unparalleled experience to those looking for the contemporary, connected life,” says Ken Peterson, Shea Homes Arizona Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Shea’s architecture team collaborated with award-winning firm PHX Architecture to design the residences of Azure. With base pricing from the high $1 millions up to the high $3 millions, residences feature transitional architecture with open floorplans, open riser staircases and rolling walls of glass that offer a seamless flow between outdoor and indoor living spaces. These homes are designed for homeowners to maximize enjoyment of the available water features and stunning desert mountain views. Modern design is balanced with traditional elements like clean cut stone and light, bright colors.

“It has been the pleasure for our firm to be teamed with a client like Shea Homes and bring something new and exciting that redefines home design as we know it. We are very proud of what we created here,” says PHX Architecture President Erik Peterson.

Walking paths leading to nearby restaurants and shops make an active lifestyle easier. These residences will back to The Palmeraie Shops, a planned destination featuring premier designer boutiques, specialty retailers and gourmet restaurants.

Azure Paradise Valley offers eight highly amenitized floor plans with two- to five-bedroom configurations ranging from 2,986 up to 6,800 square feet.

Design features include Distinctive Custom Cabinets, residential elevators, wide plank wood and tile floors, expandable home automation and security system, LED lighting throughout, linear gas fireplace in the main living area and a Ring doorbell. Kitchens include Gaggenau appliance packages, kitchens and baths feature Rohl fixtures and engineered quartz countertops. Architectural options include Fleetwood rolling walls of glass, exterior natural stone, varied roofing materials, smooth-finish stucco, aluminum-clad exterior windows, front yard landscaping with front yard maintained by HOA and a 4-by-10-foot glass entry door.

“These are truly special homes, and there are only a limited number available,” Ken Peterson says. “I would encourage those interested in Azure, Paradise Valley to contact us now to arrange a private tour.”
 

“Homes in this luxury gated community are ideal for owners who enjoy frequent travel or only spend part of the year in the Valley. Front yards maintained by the HOA make it easy to plan spur-of-the-moment trips and enjoy summers at the beach or mountains with complete peace of mind.” –Ken Peterson
