Coyotes & Diamondbacks

Although this Scottsdale address might look modest from the front, the home rivals your average holiday resort when it comes to the wealth of amenities awaiting to be discovered.

When the weather's on your side, you're sure to be grateful for the large swimming pool and hot tub in the back garden, as well as an alfresco table on which to enjoy feasts fresh off the barbecue. If the forecast is looking unpromising, fear not – you can while away your time just as easily in the well-equipped games room or home theatre instead.

As well as being well and truly boredom-busting, it must be said that the home's rather easy on the eye, too. High ceilings and large windows let plenty of Arizonan sunshine into the living quarters, plus there's a tasteful selection of art and decorative items that lend a little character to the otherwise minimalist-inspired spaces.

And that's not forgetting the home's fabulous spot on the map, too. Both the attractions in central Scottsdale and the outdoor activities in wider Arizona – be that hiking or golfing – can be easily reached by car.
