A stone-clad patio deck anchors the outdoor living space, where a negative-edge pool and spa with dramatic fire pots overlook the twinkling city lights and blooming desert below. The private driveway leads to an expansive motor court with additional guest parking and access to two garages, creating a grand arrival. The formal entry features an arched iron and glass door opening to a stunning living space with exquisite large-format marble tile floors, soaring 23-foot ceilings, striking architectural details, and a wall of windows.
Upon entry, a glass wall frames the awe-inspiring views that stretch for miles, with automated shades for comfort throughout the day. The grand kitchen is a true showpiece, designed for both entertaining and everyday living. It features a separate wet bar with beverage refrigerator, dual islands with high-grade granite, and a striking alcove centered around a 60" Viking gas range with double ovens and a pot filler.
