This desert modern home in sought-after Magnesia Falls Cove was custom built by renowned builder Thomas Troy in 2018. Walled and gated, the home has a handsome, yet discreet street presence. The front door leads to a forecourt, in the style of architect Luis Barragan, that quiets one’s senses by focusing them on the desert sky above. Once inside the home, one is presented with lofty ceilings, polished concrete floors, walls of glass, and a spacious, flowing layout that wraps around the resort-like grounds and features unobstructed views of the Santa Rosa mountains beyond. The focal point of the yard is the circular saline pool and spa, which are surrounded by drought-tolerant landscaping. Inside, the living room is subdivided by a central fireplace into two seating areas. It also features custom built-ins including a bar and display shelving. The living room opens to the gracious dining area that fronts a walled garden centered around a raised planter with an olive tree. Just beyond the dining area is the chef’s kitchen, including Frigidaire Professional refrigerator and freezer, and Bertazzoni range. This eat-in space also opens directly to the covered outdoor lounge where one can enjoy the sun setting behind the mountains. On one end of the house is the primary bedroom. Its en suite bathroom features a circular shower surrounded by greenery – this pure shape is a repeated motif throughout the property; its soft edges complement the modernist architecture. Off the bathroom is a large walk-in closet. On the other end of the house, the two en suite guest bedrooms each have their own walk-in closets as well. The home features updated technology including built-in speakers, a security system, and high-speed internet. The sale includes professional gym equipment, located in one bay of the finished, air conditioned three car garage. Furniture is available for purchase per inventory. Not only is this pristine modern home the perfect place to enjoy the desert, but its close proximity to local hiking trails, parks and shopping makes it the ideal desert retreat.
