Light, space, views, and hues: this home has it all. Nestled into peaceful Skyline Ranch, this fully landscaped property includes two master suites, an office, and a guest house. Idyllic white fences frame the neighborhood, where neighbors wave in passing. A pleasant step back in time with all the modern conveniences… and a stellar sunset view., A rare find with two full master suites, an office, and a complete guest house, this home is perfect for the entertainer, family host, the entrepreneur, or the person in search of their own spacious yet low-maintenance corner of the world. With 2638 square-feet in the main house, and another 576 square feet in the guest house, there’s room for everyone to have their own ideal spot. A beautiful front door framed in welcoming windows and crowned with a lovely gable above, opens to an entryway with soaring ceilings. The feeling of spaciousness and warmth is immediate and encompassing as you continue into not one, but two open living spaces. Living and family rooms which, between them, feature everything from wood floors, built-in shelving, beautifully accented walls in soothing hues, sliding glass doors, a ceiling fan to usher in summer breezes, and a gas fireplace to curl up beside as you watch winter storms blow in over the Sierras. A professional-grade kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances—not just the refrigerator, impressive range and hood, dishwasher, and microwave, but also an additional built-in oven and wine refrigerator. With plenty of dining space as well and an open feel, this is an entertainer’s dream. If you enjoy hosting friends, you’ll delight in the unique floor plan of two full master suites. Make one your own personal refuge, and welcome guests into the other—or utilize it as a recreation room or library. The bathroom in the second suite also has access from the hallway, making it wonderfully versatile. In addition, an office accommodates all of your business or crafting needs. Expansive closets, a dedicated laundry room including a sink and plenty of storage, and arched hallway entrances are just a few more of the details that make this home abound in customizable comfort. The guest cottage opens an entire world of possibilities. Whether you are a multi-generational household and would love an independent living space that still offers nearness, or would prefer to use the space as a rental for additional income, or perhaps use it as a dwelling yourself and offer the main home as a rental, this guest home has everything a person could desire: bedroom, living room and kitchen, with a railed porch and a view of the beautifully landscaped backyard. Great care has been taken in the landscaping, offering everything from a refreshing front lawn, to xeriscaping across the majority of the large property, perfect for this sunny neighborhood. Walking paths invite you to unwind in your own backyard, and details such as shade-giving trees, a partial terrace, picket fence, pavers, a storage shed, and patio make this a versatile and welcoming space. Or, take your evening walks beyond the yard and into the neighborhood, where you’ll stroll past waterfalls, creeks and fountains, each of which have been incorporated into neighbors’ landscaping; the sound of the water a nightly getaway in the high desert. Rabbits scamper across the path, birdsong begins at dusk, and the pièce de résistance—those vibrant mountain sunsets—spread across the expansive Nevada sky, inviting you to breathe a little deeper.
