The backyard is the heart of this Scottsdale house – a freeform pool gleaming under the Arizona sun, string lights overhead for long evenings, and a fire pit that earns its keep as the desert sky turns pink. Pick a fresh orange from the garden tree, fire up the barbecue, and let the day unspool at its own pace. When you do venture out, Old Town Scottsdale's restaurants and galleries are a short drive away, as are Papago Park and the Desert Botanical Garden for mornings that call for open air and open roads.
