7702 N Silvercrest Way

01 / Architecture

Three terraces of concrete and glass,
poised above Paradise Valley.

Designed by Victor Sidy, the residence reads as a sequence of low, horizontal planes — each terrace cantilevered toward a different prospect of Paradise Valley. Cast-in-place concrete, smooth white plaster and floor-to-ceiling glazing yield to the Sonoran landscape rather than competing with it.

Twilight view of the home — near-black dark steel fireplace tower, wood-clad cantilevered upper volume, infinity pool and the lights of Phoenix on the horizon — Fig. 01 Twilight elevation · dark steel fireplace tower anchoring the wood-clad cantilevered upper volume, pool terrace, and the city lights of Phoenix on the horizon.

Covered outdoor terrace at dusk with tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, lounge seating, dining and the pool set against the rock outcropping — Fig. 02 Outdoor terrace · tongue-and-groove wood ceiling over lounge and dining, pool set against the rock outcropping at dusk.

Motor court and entry approach — dark stucco garage volume, wood-clad entry recess beneath a white cantilevered upper floor — Fig. 03 Approach · motor court framing valley-floor views to the southwest.

Daytime aerial of the residence terraced into the desert hillside — dark steel fireplace tower, stacked white volumes, main-level terrace with outdoor kitchen, pool and native landscaping against the saguaro-studded slope — Fig. 04 Daytime elevation · the stacked volumes step down the north slope, dark steel tower rising through them, outdoor kitchen and dining on the main terrace above native desert planting.

Pool terrace at midday — spa spilling into the infinity-edge pool beneath the wood-clad cantilevered soffit, teak chaise lounges and a low lounge, the valley and mountains beyond — Fig. 05 Pool terrace · the spa boils over into the infinity edge beneath the wood-clad cantilever, chaise lounges set under the soffit as the valley falls away.

Wide view of the pool deck — pale stone paving to the pool edge, teak chaise lounges and side tables, the hillside and valley floor beyond the glass rail — Fig. 06 Pool deck · pale stone paving carried out to the water's edge, lounges turned to the hillside and the valley floor below.

02 / Interior

Warm timber, cast plaster,
and a fireplace that runs the length of the room.

Interiors by Dettaglio Design — a study in restrained materiality: smoked oak ceilings, honed stone floors, and a fourteen-foot linear gas fireplace anchoring the great room. The double-height living space opens fully to a covered terrace, dissolving the line between inside and the desert beyond.

Kitchen and living area with linear fireplace

2.1

Great Room & Kitchen. Smoked oak ceilings carry the eye out to the terrace, where the desert light reads warm against honed concrete and matte black steel.

Dining table and kitchen island with marble waterfall and hillside view — 2.2 *Dining at the edge of the kitchen* — round oak table, marble island, and a window cut to the rocky hillside.

02.3 / The Study

A south-facing study,
cantilevered toward the Valley floor.

A quiet corner of the house — twin desks, a curated library wall behind reeded glass, and a sliding panel that opens straight onto the upper terrace. Morning sun does the lighting.

Home office with the desk turned to the glass, opening onto a terrace with valley views, oak storage tower and curved credenza — 2.3a *Upper study* — the desk turned to face the glass and the terrace doors, on an oak plinth with a honed stone top.

Library wall in the home office — black metal shelving bays lit above and below, framing a window cut to the rock outcropping — 2.3b *The library wall* — black metal shelving bays, lit above and below, flanking a window cut to the rock outcropping.

Great room looking out across glass walls to the Phoenix valley and McDowell Mountains — 2.4 *Open to the valley* — two walls of glass dissolve the corner, putting the McDowells on axis with the dining table.

Double-height living room — floating oak stair cantilevered off the wall behind a glass rail, sectional with orange cushions, kitchen with brass pendants and a stone island beyond — 2.4a *Beneath the floating stair* — the double-height volume, oak treads cantilevered off the wall behind glass, the sectional turned toward the kitchen's brass pendants and stone island.

Butler's kitchen with a 36-inch Wolf range under a drywall hood, stacked ivory tile, slab white-oak cabinetry and a window framing the rock face

2.5

Butler's Kitchen. A full working scullery behind the great room — a 36-inch Wolf range beneath a plaster hood, stacked ivory tile carried wall to wall, slab white-oak cabinetry under a continuous soffit, and a picture window cut to the rock outcropping behind the house.

Butler's kitchen from the entry — full-height paneled refrigeration, slab cabinetry to the soffit and the Wolf range on the tiled corner wall — 2.5a *Paneled refrigeration* — floor-to-ceiling white-oak slab panels conceal the appliances and run to a continuous soffit; stone counters wrap to the range.

Galley run of the butler's kitchen — prep sink under the desert window, solid floor-to-soffit pantry cabinetry and an integrated refrigerator column — 2.5b *The prep galley* — a second sink at the desert window, solid floor-to-soffit pantry cabinetry, and a fully integrated refrigerator column.

04 / The Lower Level

Carved into the hillside —
a game room, a gym,
and the wine room.

Below the main floor, the house steps down into the hillside. Sound-dampened slat ceilings, ringed cove lighting, and three rooms — game room, gym and wine room — held quiet behind the pool terrace.

Game room with a black billiards table under a sculptural ring pendant, bar cart, twin swivel chairs and an oak media wall

4.1

The Game Room. A double-zoned room under a flat plaster ceiling — a black billiards table on a sculptural base beneath a tiered ring pendant, a deep grey sectional facing an oak media wall, and a pale inset rug for the bar cart and a pair of swivel chairs.

Game room screening end — grey sectional facing a wall-hung display set into an oak millwork wall with cove-lit shelving — 4.1a *The screening end* — a modular sectional pulled around a wall-hung display, set into oak millwork with cove-lit niches and a low credenza.

Long view through the game room — sectional in the foreground, billiards table and oak bar niche beyond, white plaster walls throughout — 4.1b *The long view* — sectional in the foreground, billiards behind, terminating in an oak bar niche and a wash of downlights on white plaster.

Home gym lined in warm maple with a slatted ceiling, halo ring pendants, a lit equipment niche and a full mirrored wall

4.2

The Gym. Slatted oak ceiling and warm maple walls, an inset and cove-lit shelving bay of kettlebells, dumbbells and Pilates props, and a full mirrored wall in oak-framed bays that doubles the length of the room.

Wide view of the gym — halo ring pendants, dark carpet floor, twin mats and a lit shelving bay of Pilates balls and kettlebells — 4.2a *The yoga floor* — twin mats and bolsters on dark carpet, the equipment bay cove-lit shelf by shelf, halo pendants above.

Gym mirrored wall — oak-framed mirror bays reflecting the slat ceiling, cardio equipment and the lit equipment niche — 4.2b *The mirror wall* — oak-framed bays with light strips at every joint, reflecting the slat ceiling back down the room.

Glass-walled wine room lined floor to ceiling in white oak, with slim bottle rails and a full-height glass door onto the great-room lounge

4.3

The Wine Room. A glass-fronted, climate-controlled room lined entirely in white oak to match the cabinetry — slim bottle rails set three columns to a side, cove-lit from the base, behind a full-height glass door onto the lounge.

Symmetrical view down the wine room — bottles racked floor to ceiling on three white-oak walls, three columns deep on the back wall — 4.3a *On axis* — three columns of bottles to a side and three across the back, all held on warm white oak with a cove-lit base.

06 / Site & Location

The second-highest homesite in Paradise Valley —
1.4 acres on the quiet north slope of Clearwater Hills.

— No. 2

highest homesite in Paradise Valley

Only one residential lot in the Town of Paradise Valley sits higher. From the top of guard-gated Clearwater Hills the ground falls away to the southwest with nothing between the terrace and the horizon — no rooftops, no power lines, no neighbor above.

— SW

two icons, one sightline

Every public room, the pool deck and the upper terrace face southwest — Camelback Mountain in full profile and the downtown Phoenix skyline beyond it, in the same frame. A pairing shared by only a handful of homes on this ridgeline.

— 1.4

acres of native desert

Predominantly indigenous landscape — saguaro, ocotillo, palo verde, agave — by hand from existing site material.

— 12 min

to Old Town Scottsdale

Eight minutes to The Phoenician, twenty to Sky Harbor International, twenty-five to PHX downtown core.

06.2 / Building on the ridge

Engineered into the rock,
not set on top of it.

High-slope hillside lots in Paradise Valley are the scarcest ground in the Valley, and the hardest to build. The site is solid rock outcropping under a thin skin of desert soil; the house could not simply be poured on a pad. Every element of the foundation and the site was engineered for the slope, reviewed by the Clearwater Hills architectural committee, and permitted through Maricopa County's hillside process.

FoundationEngineered micropile foundation — steel piles drilled and grouted into bedrock beneath each bearing point, so the house is anchored to the mountain rather than resting on it.
RetainingCast-in-place concrete retaining walls step the three terraces down the slope and hold the cut behind the lower level, where the game room, gym and wine room are carved into the hillside.
ExcavationThe building envelope was cut into rock, with the outcropping deliberately preserved where it meets the house — the same rock face that the study, butler's kitchen and primary wet room look onto.
WaterSite hydrology and drainage engineered to route hillside runoff around and beneath the structure; irrigation, water service and a private on-site septic system brought up the slope.
AccessPrivate elevator through all levels; four-car garage at street grade, so the sections of the house that sit below and above the motor court are reached without a stair.

06.3 / Why it matters

A lot that cannot be repeated.

Paradise Valley has no undeveloped land left at this elevation. The ridgeline homesites of Clearwater Hills were platted decades ago, and the few that remained unbuilt stayed that way because of the engineering the slope demands. This one has now been done — soils and structural engineering, micropiles, retaining, drainage and the hillside approvals are complete and the home is under construction, which is the work a buyer would otherwise spend years and a substantial budget to reproduce.

What that buys is the view: the second-highest vantage point in town, with Camelback Mountain and the downtown Phoenix skyline aligned in one southwest sightline, and the Sonoran hillside preserved around the house rather than graded away.

06.4 / Market context

Recent closed sales on the neighboring hillsides.
