This 5 bedroom, 3 bath home is the result of good bones and great location meeting design genius. When we helped clients of ours find this diamond in the rough ranch in the Upper Avenues, right away they recognized its potential: solidly built, largely untouched and priced right. It needed lots of love, and that’s exactly what they gave it. Our talented design team was tasked with coming up with something bold yet timeless, practical though wildly sexy. And this is the result: a down to the studs, fully renovated home that is as gorgeous as it is functional.

An exterior leads you into an open space concept that is equal parts bright and airy as it is provocative.

Notice how well the white walls and light hardwood flooring contrast against the smoky-colored cabinets and ceiling cladding. We kept the original stone fireplace, painted it and then contrasted it with a metal and glass staircase complete with floating steps.

Our clients, who work remotely, needed a space to work from home but did not want the confinement burdening most home offices, so we created a space whose glass walls ensured privacy while still remaining connected to the rest of the residence. 

Speaking of connectivity, another important aspect our clients wanted was the seamless connection between the inside and out, and so concertina doors were installed between the kitchen and deck. An electric awning was put in to handle the harsh sun and to extend the main floor’s living space. We love that built-in outdoor kitchen. Can you say 'spiced salmon kabobs all year long'? Other elements we love? How about that gorgeous slab of granite calling itself an island? It’s beautiful and elegant and probably should have its own zip code.

Don’t even get us started with those views.

You can see clear to Carson City.  Set on a quarter acre of land and at just under 4,500 square feet, this modern rambler offers everything you could want in a home–space, functionality, warmth.
