This home defines contemporary – it is spacious with light-filled volumes, soaring ceilings and it has open-plan living areas. The walls feature picture windows and sliding glass doors. This home is positioned to maximize panoramic red rock views to the north at the back of the house. It is ideal for entertaining.

You enter the home through a formidable solid maple door with an ornate center knob. It is your first clue that the home is Zen-like with its harmonious color theme & uncluttered design. Its high-end fixtures & fittings, terra cotta tiles, solid maple doors, cabinets & open shelving, black granite and rusted steel combine for a sophisticated feel.

This home is one of the most unique in Les Springs gated community. It has the flair of the artist who designed it and a timeless interior design compliments of the current owner who masterfully remodeled it. The neighborhood amenities include a community club house, pool & tennis. Centrally located you are close to galleries, restaurants, shopping, entertainment and recreational destinations.

You find yourself in the great room, the home’s principle living space, with vaulted beam ceilings bringing maximum light to the interior. It opens out to north and west-facing patios that showcase the views. The great room consists of a large room with a gas fireplace & dining area which can also be used as a sitting area and a kitchen. The kitchen is highly functional with a well-positioned breakfast bar and gorgeous open maple shelving. The stainless steel appliances contrast beautifully with the rich tile and wood.

There is a hallway off the kitchen that leads to the master bedroom suite, second bedroom, full bathroom & laundry room. Double doors lead into the master bedroom suite that features a nice walk-in closet, private patio, glass block walk-in shower, Saltillo tile, double pedestal sinks, black granite, Kohler spa tub and a towel warmer. The second bedroom is also off the main living area. It features a sumptuous chocolate brown corduroy built-in wrap-around sofa and custom entertainment center. It is the only room that is not tiled and it offers a warm-colored carpet. This room can also be used as a media room, office or hobby room. There is a convenient bathroom with a shower on the main floor and a laundry room which leads to the garage.

The contemporary southwest architecture of the home is continued downstairs with its clean lines and simple forms. You find the continuous color scheme and same quality materials on the lower level as the main level of the home. There are two bedrooms downstairs and a full bathroom with a shower. There is a smaller bedroom as you enter the downstairs hallway and it features a tile bench with built-in storage. The larger bedroom at the back of the home has a lovely patio that is accessed by French doors.
