Historic Elegance

For that truly old-school luxury feel in Las Vegas, you can’t beat the Scotch 80s neighborhood. It was Southern Nevada’s first masterplanned community, and the loving care that went into it decades ago shines through in every detail.

Across its 120 acres lie some of the most beautiful homes you’ll see anywhere in the country, full of details like gigantic exposed beams and welcoming porte cocheres. It’s dubbed the “residential crown jewel,” and a home has just become available there, a sprawling estate with charm to spare.

This one-story, 6,678-squarefoot beauty, listed by Ivan Sher of IS LUXURY, has three bedrooms and six bathrooms. And if you have a large car collection, good news! In addition to a two-car garage, there’s a separate car collector’s garage that accommodates up to eight automobiles. And, as you can guess, the structure is a showcase all its own.

As you explore the grounds—this home lies on 2 acres—you’ll be struck by the care in every detail. All landscaping is mature and well-maintained; you feel like you’ve escaped to your own private oasis.

The midtown, midcentury modern home has been completely updated in a Frank Lloyd Wright style, with restored wood beams and tongue-and-groove ceilings. Most of the gathering areas open via sliding glass doors to a covered patio adjoining the courtyard; it’s a wonderful indoor-outdoor space that’s perfect for endless get-togethers.

One highlight of the interior is the chef-style kitchen, including a large island, Wolf and Miele appliances and a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer unit. All three bedrooms have plen- ty of room and offer privacy, but the primary suite has the added bonus of opening to a private patio with a hot tub and sauna.

The backyard is full of so many cool details, including a pool and outdoor barbecue area that is complete with seating for your hungry guests. –
