A luxurious Scottsdale mansion, featuring its very own ice rink, has hit the market with a cool asking price of $12.5 million. The property, built in 2020 by John V. Curry, a former college ice hockey player, is tailored for sports enthusiasts, especially those with a love for the ice. However, with his family's move to Denver and the logistics of traveling for his three sons' hockey commitments, Curry has decided to sell, as reported by ABC15.
Located at 18802 N. 97th Place, within the upscale Arcadia section of Silverleaf in Scottsdale, this 12,030-square-foot home boasts eight bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms. The house, specifically built for a family that lives and breathes sports, has an ice rink that transforms into multiple other sports courts depending on the season. "During the colder months, skaters enjoy their own private rink," Kathleen Benoit of Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty Agents, who listed the property, as per Business Journal.
For those with tastes not necessarily inclined toward athletics, this mansion doesn't skimp on luxury. The property features a backyard diving pool, an in-ground trampoline, and a wine wall capable of housing roughly 300 bottles. It also includes a chef's kitchen, a gym, and a primary suite with a private wing on the main floor, complete with an executive office and a bathroom that opens to the pool through a second entrance, as detailed by Benoit.
The mansion is not just for the owners' enjoyment; it's capable of entertaining an entire sports team, with a dedicated bunk room on the lower level to accommodate plentiful guests. In the outdoor space, the entertainment options range from a BBQ station to a pool cabana, and markets as a comfortable retreat with a sectional sofa and TV. "It's a great house with beautiful finishes for today's family," Benoit added, according to Business Journal.
The coveted neighborhood enhances the property's appeal, offering amenities such as a community center with a pool and spa, gym, racquetball courts, and playgrounds within walking distance. Currently leased to a family of skaters until the end of the school year, the home's sale would include the lease in place, providing income potential for the new owners from the get-go.
