The story
Award-Winning Contemporary Luxury designed for staying-in, entertaining or hopping onto bike/walking trails right out the back gate. From the moment you step through these Sierra Nevada front doors, you are greeted by an inviting warmth, an abundance of natural light, and breathtaking open views. Crowned "Remodel of the Year" in 2020 by the Builders Association of Northern Nevada, this private hillside retreat perfectly balances warm contemporary luxury with ultimate outdoor living. The meticulously designed interior features stunning 3/4" Rift & Quartered White Oak hardwood floors, hand-textured custom paint, and rich Pecan wood cabinetry. Designed for the entertainer, the home flows effortlessly from the stunning double-island chef's kitchen to the outdoor living spaces. The kitchen is inviting and functional with a GE Monogram refrigerator, a premium gas range, extra-large countertops, and a classic Shaw's England farm sink set into a beautiful Pecan wood island. Smart home features like app-controlled Hunter Douglas motorized shades and a flexible office/bedroom space provide modern convenience. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a walk-in closet, a Victoria Albert soaking tub, and custom Pecan wood finishes. Or pop over to your spa-bedroom with salt wall. Outside, the property transforms into a private resort. The terraced hillside setting features a water feature privacy wall and a new deck (wired for spa) as well as a built-in outdoor kitchen with a Sedona gas grill, a custom stained solid wood gazebo, and a gas fire pit. For the outdoor enthusiast, step right out your back gate directly onto park trails and a public bike park. This home is as engineered for winter as it is for summer entertaining. Say goodbye to shoveling with a brand-new (2024) hydronic closed-loop heated driveway and walkways. Additional premium efficiency upgrades include roof heat tape to prevent ice dams, upgraded R39 attic insulation, and double-pane vinyl windows. The finished 3-car garage offers extensive storage, an extra fridge/freezer, and is thoughtfully plumbed for a utility sink or a dog bath—perfect for cleaning up after a day on the trails.
