Description

It's an opportunity to create your dream house without spending two years building it from scratch. Four en suite masters, three distinct living spaces, 2140 sq. ft. of his and hers garage space, in one exceptionally-sited home just waiting for you, your fixtures, and your finishes. So bring your landscape architect, designer, and a trampoline, cuz you’re gonna flip at the possibilities. If you're a speculator, see the prospectus in the Docs tab; there's excellent short-term ROI potential here. ***Two minutes from the Arrowcreek gate with a 270 degree view that rivals anything on Mormon Tea or Flowering Sage, which are another five minutes’ drive time, each way. And how many trips do you make every day?***Need to host a gala? The spacious front auto court will handle it with unfussy manorial elegance. Plant a privacy hedge along the street side, put up a gate between those pillars at the private road (btw, I have no idea if the HOAAC will approve this) and you'll enjoy the unmitigated seclusion of a Hamptons estate, except your "ocean view" is a panorama of the Truckee Meadows. Add an infinity pool and you can even swim.*** This Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design was a highest-quality custom-build 25 years ago, incorporating classic FLW elements: horizontal silhouette, cantilevered eaves, radiant-heated floors, and solar shading; combined with the non-90 degree angles, lack of adornment, built-in seating, and natural cladding he believed created a "flow" that mirrored the natural world, composed his holistic approach to interior architecture, and made him and Mies van der Rohe the fathers of American modernism. These Prairie and Usona interiors are museum-worthy masterpieces, rare-to-nonexistent in this area (I daresay this is the ONLY example in a gated community); scarcity and heritage that make this deserving of a thoughtful, top-drawer renovation.***Yes, there are fewer pictures, for the same reason my face isn't on my marketing materials: it could use some cosmetic enhancements that haven't been done. But the scale and floor plan are good; trust your intuition and be prepared to imagine the singular contemporary showplace it could be. And while you’re imagining, imagine sledding and cross-country skiing out your back door, and a three-minute on-path drive in the golf cart to the clubhouse and its restaurant, gym, and society directly below. The outdoor living spaces are sheltered northern exposures—the better to actually be able to enjoy them without being baked or blown-away. There’s less snow and less wildfire risk down here, too.***What if you could live in a place where your whole family* could be harmoniously together but each member could have his separate space? Where you can make sure the kids are safe, give them room to pursue their individual endeavors and noisily entertain their friends, without having to sacrifice your privacy or the quiet enjoyment of your own home? What if every occupant could have everything he, or she, wants? Workspaces, playspaces, shared spaces, flexspaces, garage spaces…whatever you need, along with an upstairs master suite that is truly a suite, a sanctuary for you that includes a separate living room, double fireplace, coffee bar, deck, and a dedicated laundry. Co-living and privacy; together and apart; a hub of (mostly) blissful domestic activity. There's a little brass plate on one of the pillars in front that reads, "L'Alveare," "The Beehive" in Italian. So someone, at some time, knew. Come see L'Alveare. It's close. It's cool. It's how the modern not-Stone Age family is meant to live.*Pursuant to Section 109.15(d) of the Fair Housing Act, “family includes a single individual.” The use of the word “family” should not be construed to indicate a bias against potential buyers who do not have children, or potential buyers who live alone or without their children.
