The entire community was built on a terraced street system to allow both you and your neighbors to retain views, with homes facing north and south. This home sits north facing, so in an effort to take advantage of those views, this custom builder chose to create a private oasis. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner .... or even take a swim at any time of day ... in your own front yard. Nobody will ever know, because it has a 6 foot wall that blends flawlessly into the landscape. It can be done, and Desert Sky Builders has perfected this concept. Front yard entertaining cannot get any better than this home has to offer. The large custom stone fire pit with seating will surely provide a wonderful gathering spot for many friends and family and a great spot to warm up after a dip in the salt water pool, which includes a shelf for sunbathing as well as a hot tub. There is also an outdoor only access restroom. Why not just open up an entire wall and allow the entertainment to flow indoor and outdoor? That is exactly what was in mind when this home was designed. The main living area has 12 foot ceilings, which allow for 10 foot glass panel sliding doors. The height of the glass stacking sliders allow for even more fantastic views. All windows and sliding doors are insulated and offer UV protection for furniture and art inside the home. Modern and contemporary design can be done in such a way that it appeals to even those who swore it was not their style. There is a timeless way to design in this manner. This home nailed that concept with touches of wood mixed with large, gorgeous, porcelain tile throughout the main kitchen, living, dining areas and hallways. The tile has just a touch of a sheen to it but still very nuetral. Black textured wall tiles span from floor to ceiling surrounding a linear gas fireplace. The kitchen is just breathtaking. Clean lines and a mix of black leathered granite in the open pantry and back countertops compliment the smooth quartzite island, which resembles a creamy mellow marble. The melamine cabinets are among the prettiest I have ever seen and bring that touch of modern styling. WOLF appliances throughout the kitchen with paneling to match the cabinets for the dishwasher and the side by side fridge/freezer that will be arriving in March. The sleek WOLF range top slides right into the countertop and runs flush with the black leathered granite. A perfectly smooth transition from range to countertop. WOLF double ovens are also a beautiful touch as we all need a main dish oven and a dessert oven at any given time. Or two dessert ovens. On the main floor is the primary bedroom/bath with its own access to a balcony, courtesy of sliding glass doors. The bathroom provides a spa like setting with subtle, but unique wall tiles behind the freestanding tub that carries through to the shower. The floating vanity has such a gorgeous countertop that you have to see it to believe it. It has a creamy color with almost the "feel" of the sheerness of onyx. Plenty of linen closet storage and a massive walk in closet with custom shelving and hookups for a stackable washer/dryer combo. Two solar tubes provide light in the closet as well. One other bedroom is on the main floor, which could also be used as an office, also with it's own access to the back yard balcony, which has views of Utah Hill and the city. There is ample work space in the laundry room on the main floor. Of course, when you live in a luxury home, you must have views of the red mountains while doing laundry..... so of course there is a window out of that room as well. You deserve a view when you are doing household chores too! The mud room as you enter from garage has quite a bit or wall storage as well, and was created with the same cabinets as the kitchen and bathrooms throughout the home. We believe in making things flow throughout. This lovely home rests on the only daylight basement lot in this development. The design was very intentional to allow lots of light in, but to still retain privacy in the backyard, and that was successfully done with high walls and terraced landscaping in the back yard. All three bedrooms also have access to private or shared patios. The large living area would work perfectly for gatherings and provides a kitchenette with microwave and a small refrigerator. This could also make a great work out room. Plenty of space as well as the large porcelain tile flooring. The downstairs also offers three bedrooms, one of which is large enough to accommodate multiple built in bunk beds, as was the initial plan here.... a "bunk room". There is also a large walk in closet in this room. Two bathrooms with walk in showers are also downstairs. One of which, is en suite. These bathrooms also have beautiful floating vanities and gorgeous grey marble countertops. One thing you can never have too much of is storage. This house has that as well. Downstairs has a large storage room with custom shelving as well as storage under the stairs. The garage is an over sized three car garage with epoxy flooring and a sink. We all love a quiet cul de sac, but sometimes parking can be tricky. The owner remedied that by extending the side yard that typically goes unsued. He added extra concrete so you actually have even more driveway parking and created a side yard garden outside of the privacy wall. Custom planter boxes with stucco to match the home and plants that can thrive in our hot summers. This side yard is a unique and beautiful way to make use of that space. There is so much to say as far as the beauty of this home, that we almost forgot to touch on the quality of workmanship below the drywall. This beauty is more than surface as it was built with energy saving in mind. 2X6 construction allows for an extremely well insulated home and Desert Sky prides themselves on energy efficiency. The ceiling rating is R50 and the walls are R28. There are 3 temperature controlled zones in this home. Thermostats are variable speed 19 seer infinity systems. Windows are hard wired for electric blinds. Home is wired for a surround sound in the living room as well. Walking distance to Tuacahn amphitheater as well as Snow Canyon State Park. 20 minutes to Gunlock Reservoir. But really, why would you ever leave home if you lived here?
