Curb Appeal to Spare Perfect family home is situated in a beautiful community

As the weather and housing market heat up in Las Vegas, location is still a huge consideration for most homebuyers. Well, we have one of the best locations in all of the valley for this week’s LVing feature: the gated Ironwood community in Summerlin, developed by high-end homebuilders Toll Brothers. It’s part of The Cliffs, a 450-acre village that contains more than 1,700 homes across 11 different communities. And a unit has just become available there, offering high-end living with a real sense of community.

This 2,749-square-foot home, listed by Randy Hatada, has plenty of room for a large family with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, not to mention an open floor plan ensuring plenty of get-togethers with friends and loved ones. It’s also on a cul-de-sac across from model homes, so there’s plenty of curb appeal here.

The first thing you’ll notice is an impressive courtyard, leading to a covered foyer with an elevated ceiling and pivoting glass door. It makes a great first impression! Inside touches abound, including a gourmet kitchen with waterfall island, marble counters and backsplash, glass pantry, pendant and recessed lights.

As you make your way toward the backyard, you’ll notice a wet bar with a marble wall, floating shelves and a wine refrigerator and a garden window. You’ll also notice the radiant fireplace with a tiled wall, and a slider to the backyard. As impressive as the interior is, wait until you see the backyard! There’s a modern pool and Infinity spa with water features, a putting green, firepit, built-in barbecue and a covered patio. Oh, and the mountain views are stunning.

Elsewhere throughout this showcase home, you’ll find custom paint, chandeliers, a tankless water heater, reverse osmosis system and water softener, luxurious carpeting, a layered ceiling, marble shower, dual sinks, vanity and a custom walk-in closet. There’s also a multigenerational suite with a kitchenette and a full bathroom. –Ken Miller

The Manhattan Lifestyle

Real estate expert Mahsheed Barghisavar sings the praises of high-rise living, particularly in the Las Vegas Valley. She notes, “High rises are great for people who want to be close to the Strip, close to the airport and for people who want a low-maintenance lifestyle.” She explains, “It’s an easier way of living. You have your gym and your pools downstairs. All the amenities are within where you live. It’s also more social. You meet a lot more people in the high rises. You’re always surrounded by ongoing energy. There’s guard-gated security. You’re getting the views and the Manhattan lifestyle.” –AD

More to Love

Outdoor enthusiasts can rejoice because there are now even more options available in the Skye Canyon community in northwest Vegas. This expanding community is positioned on the valley’s edge, between the Strip and the Mount Charleston area. Hawthorne by Lennar’s Sage floor plan offers the Next Gen home-within-ahome concept including a private-entry suite complete with kitchenette and washer and dryer. –AD

EXPERT LOOK

Philippe Ziade

Las Vegas, already an entertainment and dining destination, is poised to become known as something else: a leader in sustainably focused, custom homebuilding.

Leading this charge is Philippe Ziade, founder and chairman of the board for Growth Holdings. Ziade graduated with degrees in civil and mechanical engineering from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after coming from Lebanon to attend school. Ziade notes, “I graduated in the year 2000 and I stayed here. The city was great to me. I love Las Vegas. I love the vibe. I love the energy. I see a lot of opportunity in Vegas still.”

His company’s real estate division, Growth Luxury Homes, recently acquired Augusta Canyons in Southern Highlands and is planning to develop customized, sustainable smart homes there. Ziade explains, “We are building The Canyon Collection to be the best of the best—the finest homes within a location that is unsurpassed. The architecture of our homes is distinctively GLH through clean, timeless and humanistic designs.”

Ziade says Growth Luxury Homes knows that, in this modern age, “it’s only logical that technology adapts to the needs of the homeowner. That’s the advantage of us being involved in technological development rather than just being a real estate developer. Our homes are powered by Tesla energy solutions, which work hand in hand with the smart capabilities and AI to ensure maximum efficiency.”
