Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home is a stunner

The Ridges at Summerlin represents the highest standard of living in the Las Vegas Valley, with proximity not only to some of the best shopping in all of Nevada but outdoor recreational areas like Red Rock Canyon. And a spectacular home has just become available in the guard-gated Azure neighborhood there, one inspired by the architectural genius of Frank Lloyd Wright .

Listed by Madison Blau Benshimon of The Ivan Sher Group, this two-story, sprawling 9,930-square-foot estate on nearly an acre contains fi ve bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a fi ve-car garage. Its curb appeal is endless, with sharp lines and plenty of fl oor-to-ceiling glass throughout. Company will surely be impressed.

The fi rst thing you’ll notice upon entering is the grand entry foyer, dominated by a corridor of Jerusalem stone walls, wood-accented ceilings and views of a courtyard with mature cactuses. It’s a beautiful transition to the great room, which is a true showcase with elevated ceilings, top-end fi nishes and a completely open concept that’s ideal for hosting get-togethers.

A great gathering place, the kitchen features book-matched cabinetry of the highest quality, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, marble countertops and an oversized island where you’ll be spending a lot of time with friends and family. And if you veer o a bit from here, you’ll fi nd a hidden chef’s kitchen and pantry, featuring additional appliances, storage and counter space. There’s also a designated bar area that

beckons you to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Plan on plenty of great memories being created within this space.

All bedrooms here provide plenty of space and privacy for large families, but the real showpiece is the primary suite on the main level. It includes a two-way fireplace between the bedroom and a separate sitting area. The primary bath includes dual vanities, a wet bar, free-standing soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual water closets and a walk-in closet.

The en-suite guest rooms are also beautiful, three of which lie in their own designated wing of the home, joined by a common desk or work area, perfect for those working from home. A fourth junior suite is just off the home’s entryway and includes its own living room, bedroom and generous bath.

The extras here are almost too numerous to mention! In addition to both a staircase and elevator(!) to the second floor, this home features an office, wellness room, formal Crestron movie theater, simulated golf driving range and unobstructed views of the Strip and beyond from an oversized balcony.

The resort-style backyard is a paradise. Not only does it seamlessly flow through disappearing glass doors from the great room, it features a pool and spa, complemented by a dining area, full outdoor kitchen pavilion, fire table, and expansive turf area. –Ken Miller
