Living Room
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living room with light while tall ceilings and a neutral palette stretch the space outward.

Beyond the retractable glass doors, the layout opens to an outdoor lounge framed by trimmed hedges and desert hills.
Kitchen
Within the heart of the home, the kitchen is anchored by a wide island fitted with dual sinks and surrounded by crisp white cabinetry.

A large crystal chandelier drops from the ceiling, echoing the vertical lines of the patterned curtains flanking the exterior view. Artwork and a mirrored sideboard complete the room’s symmetrical setup.
Family Room

Family Room
From another angle, the family room reveals more of its open-concept design, where the fireplace anchors one side and custom black built-ins fill the other.

Above the space, a crystal chandelier adds formality to the soft, gray-toned walls and drapes.

The same tufted ottoman and soft furniture provide continuity between the viewing and resting areas of the room.

A bench at the foot of the bed and matching nightstands complete the space, with double doors opening to a green backyard. Hardwood floors and crystal lighting introduce a traditional tone with outdoor flow.
Bedroom
From a corner perspective, the same guest bedroom reveals a white fireplace built into the far wall, with a flame warming the corner near the window.

A second upholstered bed or daybed sits in the foreground, matching the soft palette.
Bedroom
Across from a large window and set of French doors, the secondary bedroom includes a black-trimmed bed with beige bedding and two lunar-themed prints overhead.

Outdoor views of a rocky hill and distant city are visible from both sides of the room.

Built-in vanity with a large mirror and salon-style chair lines the opposite wall beside a sculpted texture accent. French doors lead directly to the lawn outside, adding natural light to the space.
Walk-in Closet
Custom-built shelving surrounds the walk-in closet, with dedicated sections for shirts, jackets, and a large shoe display. Drawers and cubbies provide extra storage space under hanging racks and around the central ottoman. A small window adds daylight above the shoe shelves.

Rectangular pool stretches toward the home with a central fountain feature and multiple deck jets. Pairs of loungers sit beneath umbrellas flanking tall cypress trees, and sliding doors on each side connect to interior rooms. A large arched structure at the back center defines the indoor-outdoor transition.

Raised spa pool rests on the corner patio just steps from the main pool area, facing a covered fireplace lounge. Overhead fan and curtains add comfort options as the area blends seamlessly with the open patio design. Firelight, stone trim, and views of the backyard enhance the setting.
