In the hills north of the historic Plaza, this gated 4,790-square-foot adobe home and guesthouse combine elegant Southwestern style, an inviting ambience, and majestic views of mountains and city lights. The generous, versatile floor plan affords a multitude of options for magnificent indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, an open kitchen featuring a granite-topped island, and two separate bedroom wings. Richly hued stone and wood--found in multiple eye-catching ceiling treatments and antique doors throughout--contribute to a serene natural warmth. Nearly every space is filled with wonderful light from windows and skylights. Closet space is plentiful, the oversized three-car garage includes a storage room, and the roof and stucco are new. The master wing bedroom has a large walk-in closet with two built-in dressers. The office, across the hall, has a built-in desk and shelving. The guest wing encompasses two large bedrooms, each with en-suite bath, and a study with a built-in desk and shelving. The home's colorful courtyard is a peaceful oasis lush with trees and flowering plants. A series of patios and portales runs along the western side of the home and guesthouse. Featuring a fireplace and remote-controlled sunshades, these spaces were designed for appreciating breathtaking vistas year-round. The guesthouse has its own portal, living and kitchen spaces, and laundry facilities as well as a quiet bedroom and easy access to a patio perfect for a hot tub.
