Full of angles and curves and recessed art displays, there's architectural interest at every turn. The kitchen has new appliances, hickory cabinetry, a breakfast nook, and views of the canyon. It's open to both the family room and warm living room with its kiva-like fireplace. Each of the downstairs bedrooms has its own veranda, and the two are connected by a Jack n' Jill with double vanities. A graceful curved staircase leads to the huge Master Suite, with a sitting area, fireplace, desk/hobby space, two closets, a large bathroom with separate shower and soaking tub, and two decks, one on each side of the house. The 3-car garage and convenient circular driveway make parking a breeze, even with a crowd.
