Pending Home 87

Before they start gushing accolades and dishing out plaudits and praise, those awe-struck guests at the front door or on your deck are likely to be rendered speechless. It happens here. A lot. The waterfalls, gardens, 180º views, the stunning staircase, decks, and touches both grand and minute have a way of dropping jaws and commanding reverence. It’s a reaction friends, family and guests experience time and again. The tone for this 6,775-square-foot home is set before you even reach the front door. Its curved copper roofs, stone and metal skins, and cascading water features make for a stunning first impression. The interior follows suit immediately, with a front door that opens to the scene of a creek falling away toward the back deck and the fairway beyond. To the right is a great room with a bold, stone fireplace and access to a deck surrounded by waterfalls, lawns, a hot tub, barbecue, two firepits, heated/covered dining area, and a full bar with sink, stove, and views that take in the Carson Range, Martis Valley and Lookout Mountain. The kitchen – flanked by a breakfast cove to one side and dining room to the other – is anchored by two large counters, one ideal for casual dining. Custom staircases lead to a fitness room and, another flight up, to a junior master with its own deck and a bunkroom, media room and private party deck. The upstairs hallway traverses high above the great room and leads to the master bedroom with its own deck, fireplace, sitting room and oversized shower with elegantly curved glass. On the main floor – stage left of the front door – is a large office, a guest bedroom, and a junior master with fireplace, tv, and access to the main deck.
