Mountains Edge was planned around the idea that a neighborhood should still feel like the desert it was built on, and this single-story residence sits at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac inside its gates. Ten-foot ceilings and crown molding carry through more than 3,200 square feet, and plantation shutters temper the light as it crosses the day. The kitchen is the working center of the home, appointed with granite counters and a full granite backsplash, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an island wide enough to gather around. It opens to a family room anchored by a gas fireplace. The owner's suite rests beneath a coffered ceiling with a walk-in closet and a bath arranged around a garden tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and a den with its own full bath gives the floor plan a fourth room to become whatever is needed. Evening is when the property shows its best. A heated pool with water features runs the length of a covered patio, a pergola shades stamped concrete beyond it, and landscape lighting holds the yard long after the sun leaves. Owned solar, a three-car garage, and a quarter-acre lot round out a home built for the way this valley actually lives.
