Every detail has been considered, from the custom built-ins in the walk-in closet to the sliding glass doors that provide direct access to the outdoor amenities. The backyard is an absolute oasis, designed for both relaxation and grand-scale entertaining. Framed by dramatic, unobstructed mountain views, the expansive patio leads to a shimmering pool and a raised spa. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting an evening under the stars, this outdoor space offers a rare level of seclusion and beauty. With updated baseboards, custom shutters, and recessed lighting throughout, this home represents a perfect blend of contemporary design and timeless desert allure.
