Nestled in Reno, Nevada's high desert environment, 16 Glenhaven is a modern home that blends architecture, landscape, and resort style living in a custom design that lives like a private retreat, set apart from the pace of everyday life.
Upon approach to the property, a sweeping driveway reveals the home, and a modern front yard pool terrace. Rather than hiding this recreation space behind the house, it's instead given a prominent place in both the arrival sequence, and the flow of everyday life. From the motor court, broad steps climb to the entrance, where expansive glazing and strong horizontal rooflines create a luxury modern aesthetic.
Spanning more than 12,000 square feet*, the home is designed for both intimate family living, and large-scale entertaining. On the main floor a private wing houses a home office and three guest suites, while a great room, dining area, kitchen, and bar all open directly onto the luxury outdoor pool terrace. With a spa, lounge areas and fire feature, this outdoor living space is a seamless extension of the interior, and invites comfortable open air living, year around. For more exclusive gatherings, a spiral staircase leads from this terrace to a private rooftop deck with fire pit lounge, and panoramic views.
In the backyard, a formal entertaining terrace sits at the edge of an expansive recreation lawn. A luxury outdoor kitchen, bar, fire pit lounge, and two dining areas adjoin a reflecting pool with floating walkway across it, while an additional conversation area with fire pit sits just outside the library around the corner. Beyond the lawn, are a pickleball court, and orchard.
While the main floor is dedicated to social spaces and guest accommodations, the upper floor serves as a secluded owner's retreat. Elevated above the activity of the home below, the primary suite includes its own private terrace with spa and fire pit lounge overlooking the swimming pool.
Through carefully organized living spaces, and a thoughtfully designed landscape, 16 Glenhaven unfolds its design well beyond its physical walls, offering a rich variety of indoor and outdoor spaces in which to gather, relax, entertain, and enjoy the rhythms of the resort lifestyle.
*The master plan for this project includes options for a bedroom wing addition; home office; pool house or home gym; north casita guest house with garage; a flexible addition for a gym, spa, art studio, indoor pool, garage, or storage space; north display garage; pickleball cabana; master bedroom addition; and home theater.
