Concierge To Sell Home Of Legendary NFL Quarterback Kurt Warner In Paradise Valley, Arizona At Live Auction Without Reserve

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz., Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With Super Bowl XLVII just days away, Concierge Auctions is pleased to announce that former National Football League quarterback Kurt Warner, a Super Bowl record holder and sports broadcaster whose career is regarded as one of the greatest stories in NFL history, will sell his gated residence without reserve on February 27^th during a live auction. Perfectly set on over one acre in one of Paradise Valley's most exclusive neighborhoods, 6712 East Cheney Drive is a uniquely-designed contemporary estate with a convenient location near the exclusive Camelback Country Club. Originally offered for $5 million, the luxury property will be sold to the highest bidder in cooperation with Christine Donnelly of HomeSmart International.

"My family and I completely enjoyed living in this home, but it is time for us to move on," stated Warner. "I'm relying on Concierge Auctions and Chrissy Donnelly to get the job done. I have watched and been impressed by Concierge's success with selling other unique properties across the nation and am confident they will generate a fair price and a rightful new owner."

Designed by renowned Phoenix architect Edward Chavez of Chavez & Associates, 6712 East Cheney Drive was constructed with dramatic living spaces framed with geometric built-ins, gently sloping curves and architecturally-designed elements. The circular driveway and stone fountain leads to a dramatic 24-foot-tall foyer, where a variety of elements come into play including custom circular glass. The estate contains six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen with a bar and breakfast nook and a formal dining room. There is also an office, gym, games/billiards room and multiple cozy living areas throughout. The dual master suites can be directly accessed by the home's metal staircase or elevator. Expansive sunny balconies overlook the diving pool and fountains, which connects to a 62-lap pool and private spa. The dramatic landscape can also be enjoyed through a series of both panoramic and clerestory windows. Additionally, there is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom detached guest house, complete with a full kitchenette.

"This home is a one-of-a-kind work of living art," Donnelly stated. "Once featured on HGTV's Celebrity Holiday Homes, it's dramatic and luxurious, perfect for entertaining guests and spacious enough for a large family. Its unique architectural design leads to so many interesting living spaces, while the fixtures and finishes add a luxurious touch that must be seen in person. The Warners spent many years raising their children here and have nothing but good things to say about the home and the area."

Warner first achieved stardom while playing for the St. Louis Rams, where he won a Super Bowl MVP award. He also played for the New York Giants, and led the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl in 2008. He owns the three highest single-game passing yards totals in Super Bowl history. As an ode to his talent, Concierge Auctions will host an Open House at the property during the game this Sunday, February 3^rd, starting at 4pm. Visitors will watch the game poolside on the big screen and get a sneak peak of the property.

Paradise Valley is a small, affluent town that is home to 12 resorts, making it one of Arizona's premiere tourist destinations. The area is known for its incredible real estate and notable residents, including many professional athletes. In addition to Warner, boxer Muhammed Ali, basketball star Steve Nash and baseball pitcher Randy Johnson all call Paradise Valley home. The city is conveniently located between two large municipalities – the City of Scottsdale to the east and the City of Phoenix to the west. The estate is a short eight-mile drive to the Scottsdale Airport, one of the largest single-runway airports in the United States, and 13 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which offers nearly 1,200 daily flights to major transportation hubs around the world.

"Launching the auction of Kurt Warner's home just days before 'the big game' is especially exciting," stated Laura Brady, President of Concierge Auctions. "Not only does the home have a star-studded history but also a notable architectural pedigree. Just as Mr. Warner has been successful on and off the football field, we intend to achieve his goal of selling on auction day."

The auction of 6712 East Cheney Drive will be held on February 27^th. A 3% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. The property will be open for preview daily from 1 to 4pm.
