A massive covered patio spans the back of the house, featuring an outdoor fireplace, a huge shaded lounge area, a tiki roofed bar area, and a fully equipped outdoor BBQ kitchen with dual bar seating--seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living from the great room, kitchen, and main-floor master suite. Designed with an intelligent, spread-out floor plan, the home features distinct bedroom "wings" across its levels, giving occupants exceptional privacy while keeping everyone connected to the homes' grand gathering spaces. Almost every bedroom acts as its own private retreat, with four of the bedrooms boasting their own private outdoor patios or balconies to enjoy the fresh desert air and views. Accommodation highlights include TWO master suites.

The second-level master suite features its own private balcony patio alongside a secondary entrance leading to a shared loft balcony with panoramic views of the city lights and mountain ranges. For recreation and multi-generational living, the expansive loft game room provides plenty of space for a full billiard table, shuffleboard, and poker setup, while the spacious walk-out lower level includes a family room, additional multi-use rooms, two bathrooms, and an attached one-car garage, creating an ideal setup for a separate guest suite, mother-in-law arrangement, or a lower-level game and media lounge.
