Sited on a cul-de-sac corner lot, the home makes a striking first impression with its modern desert curb appeal. The enduring desert ranch elevation is defined by clean lines, prominent exposed rafters and fresh modern finishes. The thoughtfully composed landscape achieves a balance between privacy and welcome.

The custom cabinetry continues seamlessly into the hallway, reinforcing the home's architectural flow. An authentic Italian terrazzo backsplash pairs beautifully with stacked matte white tile along the range wall. A generous island provides ample space for prep and casual dining. Quartz countertops with double waterfall edges, open maple shelving and vintage pendants from Denmark elevate the aesthetic.
