The story
The view is the first thing you notice, and the thing you never get used to. Golf course fairways in the foreground, mountain ridgelines beyond, and the whole valley in city lights after dark - a panorama that puts on a show at both ends of the day. Sunrises break over the ridge in colors a photograph will never capture; sunsets set the mountains on fire and hand off to a glittering carpet below. It sits on one of the best homesites in Vu Pointe - genuinely pool-size, which almost none of them are - behind a second set of gates inside guard-gated MacDonald Highlands. And the house earns the setting: a true single-level Christopher Homes residence, no steps at the entry, none inside, none out to the yard. Dual primary suites anchor opposite wings across 2,827 square feet, finished to a level that separates it immediately - Level 5 smooth walls and ceilings, 24x48 semi-polished porcelain wall to wall, solid-core doors, Emtek hardware, drapery pockets pre-wired for motorized shades. The great room centers on a 60" linear fireplace framed in large-format porcelain with quartz mantel and hearth, with walls of glass opening to a covered loggia aimed straight at the view. The chef's kitchen runs 10' two-tone cabinetry with appliance garage and walk-in pantry, quartz counters with a mitered raised bar, glass mosaic backsplash, LED accent lighting and a fully integrated Thermador and Bosch package with paneled refrigerator and freezer columns. The primary suite adds its own fireplace, walk-in closet, freestanding soaking tub, marble-look porcelain shower with hand shower and dual vanities with makeup station. The second primary hosts guests privately with its own en-suite. A den/flex space, jewel-box powder bath and private courtyard complete the plan. Out back: a rain-sensing louvered cover off the primary, built-in barbecue and fire pit, and open ground for the pool this lot can hold. Single-level ease, lock-and-leave luxury, and a view worth building around.
