13639 E Hedgehog Place, Scottsdale

4 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 7073138 MLS ⋅ 2,249 SqFt.

Backing protected desert open space on an oversized lot in Pinnacle Reserve, this North Scottsdale home offers a combination of privacy, mountain views, and natural desert surroundings that is increasingly difficult to find at this price point. No rear neighbors. No homes directly behind. Flexible floor plan with a main-level office and adjacent full bath, updated kitchen with center island and walk-in pantry, upstairs loft, and view deck overlooking the preserve. Conveniently located near Grayhawk Golf Club, DC Ranch Market Street, Scottsdale Quarter, Kierland Commons, Loop 101, hiking trails, and Paradise Valley schools. The lot is what sets this property apart. Rather than backing another row of homes, the rear boundary opens to protected desert space, creating a sense of separation and openness rarely available in established North Scottsdale neighborhoods. The oversized homesite also provides ample space for buyers who may wish to add a pool while still preserving usable yard space for outdoor living and entertaining. The downstairs office and adjacent full bath provide flexibility for multigenerational living. Upstairs, the expansive loft is filled with natural light and functions as a true secondary living area rather than simply a pass-through space. Depending on a buyer's needs, the loft could easily serve as a media room, playroom, home office, fitness space, or be enclosed to create an additional bedroom. Recent improvements include a newer roof and HVAC system, providing valuable peace of mind and helping reduce concerns about major capital expenses. The extended 2.5-car garage offers additional storage space for tools, outdoor gear, golf equipment, bicycles, or a workshop area--an increasingly sought-after feature for buyers who need more than a standard two-car garage. Pinnacle Reserve remains one of North Scottsdale's most desirable locations due to its proximity to shopping, dining, golf, trail systems, and major transportation corridors while still maintaining a quieter residential feel. For buyers prioritizing lot quality, future potential, and a setting that feels connected to the Sonoran Desert, this property offers an opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to duplicate in this price range.
