A luxury home is more than a well built home with top-of-the-line appliances, floor coverings, and finishes. Luxury living also centers around the community you build that home in, the amenities, the views, and access to things that you have always dreamed of. If you are looking for a modern masterpiece at the foot of the Red Mountains, look no further. Located in the gated community of the Palisades at Snow Canyon, this home was designed to take advantage of the very reason people come to this area... the views. The entire community was built on a terraced street system to allow both you and your neighbors to retain views, with homes facing north and south. This home sits north facing, so in an effort to take advantage of those views, this custom builder chose to create a private oasis. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner .... or even take a swim at any time of day ... in your own front yard. Nobody will ever know, because it has a 6 foot wall that blends flawlessly into the landscape. It can be done, and Desert Sky Builders has perfected this concept. Front yard entertaining cannot get any better than this home has to offer. The large custom stone fire pit with seating will surely provide a wonderful gathering spot for many friends and family and a great spot to warm up after a dip in the salt water pool, which includes a shelf for sunbathing as well as a hot tub. There is also an outdoor only access restroom. Why not just open up an entire wall and allow the entertainment to flow indoor and outdoor? That is exactly what was in mind when this home was designed. The main living area has 12 foot ceilings, which allow for 10 foot glass panel sliding doors. The height of the glass stacking sliders allow for even more fantastic views. All windows and sliding doors are insulated and offer UV protection for furniture and art inside the home. Modern and contemporary design can be done in such a way that it appeals to even those who swore it was not their style. There is a timeless way to design in this manner. This home nailed that concept with touches of wood mixed with large, gorgeous, porcelain tile throughout the main kitchen, living, dining areas and hallways. The tile has just a touch of a sheen to it but still very nuetral. Black textured wall tiles span from floor to ceiling surrounding a linear gas fireplace. The kitchen is just breathtaking. Clean lines and a mix of black leathered granite in the open pantry and back countertops compliment the smooth quartzite island, which resembles a creamy mellow marble. The melamine cabinets are among the prettiest I have ever seen and bring that touch of modern styling. WOLF appliances throughout the kitchen with paneling to match the cabinets for the dishwasher and the side by side fridge/freezer that will be arriving in March. The sleek WOLF range top slides right into the countertop and runs flush with the black leathered granite. A perfectly smooth transition from range to countertop. WOLF double ovens are also a beautiful touch as we all need a main dish oven and a dessert oven at any given time. Or two dessert ovens. On the main floor is the primary bedroom/bath with its own access to a balcony, courtesy of sliding glass doors. The bathroom provides a spa like setting with subtle, but unique wall tiles behind the freestanding tub that carries through to the shower. The floating vanity has such a gorgeous countertop that you have to see it to believe it. It has a creamy color with almost the "feel" of the sheerness of onyx. Plenty of linen closet storage and a massive walk in closet with custom shelving and hookups for a stackable washer/dryer combo. Two solar tubes provide light in the closet as well. One other bedroom is on the main floor, which could also be used as an office, also with it's own access to the back yard balcony, which has views of Utah Hill and the city. There is ample work space in the laundry room on the main floor. Of course, when you li
