My sister-in-law's kids, when they were younger, once exclaimed "yeah, let's go to Aunt Cheryl's and Uncle Bobby's house. It's friendly there."
Indeed it is. Part of that is just us -- pretty laid-back, No-Drama people. But, part of it is the feng shui of this elegant property. It's as airy and spaciously laid out an interior of 2,156 square feet as you're likely to find. Three BR, loft/study (would have been the 4th BR in the slightly different floor plan), 2.5 bath, 3 car garage, huge yard, lots of trees. Master BR on the ground floor.
Ten minutes from the airport and the heart of the Strip. Closed-loop road quiet neighborhood (no thru-traffic). No Golf Kart Kommisars (i.e., no HOA).
I shot these last week. Come, take a quick tour. BTW, you can click on any photo for an enlarged view. The house is now on the market. Details from our agent (see below).

We are quite likely to be downsizing a good bit in California, so we are open to separate pricing out-of-escrow negotiations on buyer's retention of some -- some -- of this furniture (I know this is of interest to our investor prospects).
Sink has a fairly new garbage disposal unit we installed. R/O water unit under sink, water softener in garage. |
Note: all appliances are staying, incl: refrigerator, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, laundry room washing machine and gas dryer. We bought the fridge, microwave, washer, and dryer all new. |
Ground floor Master BR. In Manhattan this would probably be a $7,000 a month apartment. It's huge. |
We replaced the carpet with wood laminate. |
Master bath, with walk-in closet and separate commode room. |
Exiting Master BR, half bathroom and laundry room with door to garage. |
My library/study, wherein I plot my nascent World Domination of Health IT media. |
Upstairs front BR. That's a California King bed. |
Upstairs bath, just off the Study. |
Upstairs back BR. Not in use, except to store stuff lately. |
The view from the back wall. There's a large chain-link dog run along the north side wall. |
No, sorry, you don't get to keep the bird house. Cheryl's uncle in Alabama builds those for family members. |

I set all these sandstone path stones myself. Just the look I wanted. |
Another view of my hand-laid rustic path work. |
When we bought this house, we painted the garage walls, ceiling, and floor (they were bare). |
We had the exterior patched and re-painted a couple of years ago. The contractor did a great job. |
No known defects of significant consequence. Just the normal "wear and tear" for a 22 year old house. We have always proactively fixed things that needed fixing. I have long had a maintenance contract with Yes! HVAC for my heat, air, and plumbing. Insect control by JS Pest. I have the house cleaned inside every 2 weeks by Home, Clean Home, and I have a great yard guy I would recommend to anyone.
With respect to the yard: Truthfully, were I going to stay, I would lose the weedy, dog-worn "grass" in the back and go full desert landscaping, maybe a sculpted mounds-and-paths kind of thing with grasses, other blooming desert plants, and boulders. It would save water. Likewise in the front, I would do away with that grass island (I'm trying to re-seed parts of it that got burned), go desert all the way, and cut out those hedges and build in a tasteful awning-covered front patio area, perhaps bordered by some boulders and plants. you could comfortably sit there in the mornings most of the year, given that the sun rises from the rear.
