How do you quickly sell an 11,000-square-foot mansion in Paradise Valley, Arizona’s richest town? Put a laundry room for each of its six bedrooms.
A limited liability company known as Premier North plunked down $13.3 million for the 3.2-acre estate primed for a half-dozen washer-dryers at 6821 North 46th Street, AZcentral reported. The sellers were Toby and Jennifer Thomas.
The six-bedroom, 10-bathroom mansion comes with a full-size laundry room accompanying every bedroom, a media room and an 11-car garage.
The home has 30-foot living room ceilings, Carrara marble and black granite floors, a paneled library and a master bedroom with a two-way fireplace
Behind the red-tiled, white single-story home, built in 1999, is an L-shaped pool, kitchen, cabana, lounge area and a tennis court. It has views of nearby Camelback Mountain.
The Thomases bought the property in late 2021 for $5.4 million in cash. Toby Thomas is president of Austin Electric Services, based in Paradise Valley.
The couple poured in $4 million to remodel the home inside and out, Greg Hidder of Launch Powered By Compass and the Compass Sports and Entertainment Division, told AZcentral. He shared the listing with Lauren Hidder.
It’s not clear if they stuffed extra insulation around the bedroom laundry rooms to shield against the sound of thumping tennis shoes.
