The exterior of the property is classic Kings Point, with
clean white-on-white architecture and bright white stone accents against a white
stucco façade topped with a multi-layered flat roof. Simple, clean landscape
highlights the front of the home, which consists of lush green turf, low water
use cacti and a mature Mediterranean fan palm. A pair of bright yellow double
doors located within a small courtyard offers a pop of color to visitors, and
give instant recognition to the home.

The entry leads visitors into the main, open living room
which is defined by a raised, voluminous ceiling surrounded by clerestory
windows. An open ceiling walkway defines the hall along the south die of the
room, leading to the bedrooms. Like most other Kings Point home, this property
offers a secondary living area at the rear of the home, open to both the dining
room and primary living room, anchored by Krisel’s signature modernist
fireplace. Large floor to ceiling windows tie the secondary living area
together with the adjacent dining room, and offer panoramic views of the golf course
and mountains beyond.

The backyard consists mainly of a small patio area, with a
low-lying hedgerow separating the property from the adjacent fairway. A small
covered patio sits just off the secondary living and dining room areas, topped
by Krisel’s signature sunflap design.
Stunning views, modernist architecture and a superb location
in a nearly wind-free community make this home a must have. For those looking for a luxury dream home, this is it.
