PORTFOLIO
Welcome to the 24th issue of Portfolio Magazine. Summer this year seemed longer than usual, but
now that the fever has broken, it’s time to celebrate all that makes Fall in the Valley so special. Driving
with the windows down, decorating for the holidays…And before we leave Summer behind us, let’s
take a moment to celebrate the courage of first responders in Las Vegas who risked their lives to save
strangers. Such great people! So open your windows and break out the blankets and let’s all make a
point to enjoy my favorite season in Arizona; which is Fall.
I enjoy showcasing some truly special properties in this magazine and in this issue we continue the
pattern. The first featured property, on page 12, is a magical mediterranean in Tatum Canyon. “Saving
Grace” on page 16 is a stately European design perfect for elegant living. An architecturally stunning
contemporary home, with no detail overlooked, starts on page 20, and the “Scottsdale Modern” article
features a contemporary, industrial masterpiece in the heart of Scottsdale. It begins on page 34.
Picking Up Where Nature Left Off, delves into the why’s of residential landscape architecture, and
gives a few pointers from Russ Greey, the Co-Founder/Principal at Greey|Picket. The article features
photos and ideas from some of their favorite projects and gives inspiration on how to add intrigue to
your own backyard.
As usual you’ll find our quarterly report where we take a closer look at the status of the luxury home
market and what it means for you.
Ready to channel your inner admiral? Here’s how, plus three locations and captain profiles to inspire
your next weekend getaway, written by Kevin Greaney, and found on page 40.
If you’re already to sail and get away, we highlight a private island, from Christie’s International Real
Estate, found in Norwalk, Connecticut, and a beach front villa property in Italy, on pages 59 through
62. Tavern Island is an historic and enchanting waterfront property only 60 minutes from New York
City. Waterfront Villa in Porto Rotondo is a sophisticated and exclusive villa on the sea, a true pearl set
in the lush Mediterranean vegetation of Costa Smeralda.
We close out the issue with our own collection of Arizona’s finest properties, where you’ll find listings
that are active in the MLS, as well as private listings that can only be seen within these pages, on
WaltDanley.com and on our carefully curated affiliate sites.
Thanks for reading,
Until next time,
