16257 N 62nd Way

The Home

Arched doors, two fireplaces, and a back yard built for company.

62nd Way sits inside 85254 — the zip code the Valley calls the Magic Zip, where the mailing address reads Scottsdale, the city limits are Phoenix, and the schools are Paradise Valley Unified. Buyers here shop by zip code before they shop by street.

A curved concrete driveway sweeps up to a three-car garage under mature palms, with an arched portico framing the entry. Stucco and block, single story, Pueblo lines — 1985 construction of the kind that was built to sit in this climate rather than fight it.

Inside, the main living space runs on rich wood flooring around a central fireplace with a dark mantle. What defines the room is the wall of arched, dark-framed French doors opening straight onto the back patio — three tall arches of light, and an indoor-outdoor connection most homes of this vintage never got.

The kitchen is built around a center island with bar seating for five, topped in dark speckled granite against white cabinetry and a travertine backsplash. Stainless appliances throughout, a dining area with its own patio access, and the laundry room tucked just off it.

Then there's the room that sells this house. A dedicated game and recreation space with dark wood floors, a wet bar, custom display shelving, a second fireplace, a wall-mounted TV, and a full shuffleboard table with room to walk around it. It reads as a finished entertaining room, not a bedroom someone repurposed.

The primary suite sits apart, with its own French doors to a private patio, a walk-in closet fitted with a complete built-in system of shelving, drawers and hanging rods, and a spa-style bath with a tiled walk-in shower running multiple showerheads.

Out back is where the price lives. A freeform pool with a diving board sits inside a wide, geometric stamped-concrete deck, with a heated spa alongside for the months the desert finally cools. A dark wood pergola shades a lounge area, a second covered patio and a private saltillo-tiled courtyard give you more than one place to sit, and saguaro and mature palms close the yard in on every side. Turf lawn on the side, an RV gate at the garage, and no HOA anywhere in it.
