Description

An architectural jewel in the south suburban foothills off of Mt. Rose Highway set on 2.5 acres with views of Mt. Rose and the Reno skyline. Mature designed landscape, on drip irrigation system, surrounds this beautiful home offering serenity and privacy. The main home is a single-level passive design centered around a cathedral-ceilinged open space that combines the kitchen, dining, and living area. The large south-facing windows with double stacked blinds and unobstructed views of Mt. Rose, allow sun to radiantly warm the stained concrete floors in the winter reducing energy costs. The two bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and large closets, are on opposite sides of the home for privacy. An office extends off the great room with recesses for storage and windows on three sides. From the kitchen to the utility breezeway there is a hallway with a large pantry and built-in storage for winter gear - coats, boots, and such. In this area is a conveniently located washer and dryer under a sun-optic recessed housing. Through the door, with a built-in dog pass, you enter the utility breezeway that houses the hot water heaters, forced air heaters, and whole house water filtration system. Doors on each end allow for quick access from the front to the back of the house. Aside the back door is an elevated tile surround shower pan for a dog wash/utility sink area. A door enters into a spacious two-car garage (with built-in floor drains) from this breezeway. The second unit of the house is accessed behind the single-car garage via an outside stairway.
