There are homes in Sedona with red rock views. Then there are homes that sit above them.
580 Norbie Road is the latter — a private hilltop residence in Uptown Sedona where every window frames a panorama that even longtime locals stop to admire. Built in 1999 by master builder John Griffin, this 2,900-square-foot Territorial-style home occupies one of the rarest geographies in town: a quarter-acre lot at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac, just a four-minute walk from the heart of Uptown.
A rare Uptown position
Uptown Sedona is one of the most coveted neighborhoods in town for a reason. Walkable to galleries, restaurants, and trailheads. Close enough to the action that you don’t need to drive for dinner, far enough up the hill that you don’t hear it.
580 Norbie sits at the very top of that hill — above the surrounding rooftops, with unobstructed sightlines across some of Sedona’s most iconic red rock formations. There’s a water tower behind the property, but the home was sited so carefully that it doesn’t intrude on a single view.
The sunrise hits this hill before it hits anything else. So does the alpenglow at sunset.
Built by a Sedona master
John Griffin is a name that means something in Sedona. He built much of the Kachina neighborhood and is responsible for a body of homes prized for their craftsmanship and — perhaps more importantly — their architectural intelligence. Griffin homes are designed around the views they’re meant to frame, not the other way around.
580 Norbie is a textbook example. The open-concept main level pours light through soaring windows that follow the changing color of the rocks throughout the day. A see-through gas fireplace anchors the living and dining areas. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an expansive layout create a feeling of openness rare in homes this size.
Construction is what you’d expect from a Griffin build: block and wood frame, stucco finish, and a recently renovated concrete tile roof. The HVAC system is approximately 18 months old. These aren’t worry-points to negotiate — they’re already done.
Two levels, two primary suites
Most luxury homes give you one primary suite. 580 Norbie gives you a choice.
The downstairs primary is a split-bedroom design with a walk-in closet, a full bath featuring double vanities, and a separate shower and soaking tub. Even from the shower, you have a view.
The upstairs suite is the showstopper. Private deck, its own gas fireplace, a spacious closet, and the kind of bedroom view that makes mornings feel ceremonial. It’s the room where the home reveals what it’s really about.
A separate den/office and powder room round out the layout, with a thoughtful laundry room and access to the attached two-car garage.

Short walk to Uptown
The thing about Norbie Road that surprises buyers: it’s four minutes on foot to Uptown. Coffee in the morning, dinner at night, gallery openings on weekends — all without starting the car. For a luxury hilltop home with this kind of privacy, that walkability is genuinely uncommon. Most homes with views like this require a fifteen-minute drive to reach civilization.
580 Norbie offers both.
