Finally we get a luxury home sale in the Foothills! It has been a few weeks since we have seen a luxury home sale since in the summer inventory is low and we see fewer sales than when the snowbirds are here in the winter months.

This one at 5372 E Gleneagles Drive sold by Long Realty at $1,270,000. This one is a perfect example of the steep decline and prices on homes over a million from the peak of the market in 2008–this 6 bedroom, 6 1/2 bath home sited on a huge 5.28 acre homesite, last sold for $1,875,000 in January 2006. To top it off these Sellers added a pool and spa  that was not there when they purchased it 9+ years ago. The views of this Skyline Country Club home are of both the sparkling city  lights and the multiple mountain ranges including nesting right into the high Catalinas. Hard-to-find features of this two-story house include a separate 2 bedroom, 2  bath guest house and 4 car garage. Skyline Country Club offers many potential desired features to those who become members:   it is  located on a golf course with many recreational amenities to chose from including tennis, pool, spa, exercise facilities and restaurant. The community has a 24 hour manned gate.
