The perfect single-story home

A paved-brick street approach allows direct vehicle access to two separate garages framing a gated entry courtyard that leads to the front door. The exterior is highlighted by linear geometric forms, pale stucco, darker-toned stacked stone, and natural desert landscaping. Inside, the home's interior is dominated by a light-filled great room with windows in every direction, most of the opening to private areas. A private office is situated near the entry door, with windows overlooking the courtyard and glass walls that provide complete privacy yet allow for abundant light. A disappearing window wall opens the entire interior to the rear yard, just awaiting finish-out details to suit a new owner. The covered patio is fully illuminated with recessed cans, and gas stubs exist for a grill or complete outdoor kitchen. An artistic fireplace is the focal point of the interior's open floor plan, with a pleasing interplay of light and dark, polished surfaces and both stainless and darker metal accents throughout. The kitchen features a huge granite-topped island with room for bar-height seating. Three bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with a luxurious bath, are in the main residence. The fourth bedroom, with a private bath, is located in guest quarters that include a fully equipped kitchen, dining nook, and spacious sitting room. The suite boasts a separate entry of the home's front courtyard, and access to the second two-bay garage.
