Things we love about this property crush:

With a design that mixes earthy and industrial materials with a sizable helping of airy desert hills light, this zen pad would be at home on the most fashionable design Instagram feed. High wood ceilings give rooms a natural touch. Large windows open the living room out to expansive city and mountain views and let in plenty of natural light. The exterior is defined by clean, geometric lines that contrast the arid landscape. Inside, exposed brick and kitschy checkerboard tile give rooms a pop of color.

Not just one but two fireplaces offer a bit of ambiance and a place to entertain guests on cool nights. In this house’s 2,005 square feet, there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study that could become a guest room. The kitchen comes with modern fixtures and a checkerboard floor that’s a throwback to the past. The wood-paneled walls in the dining room have been restored to their original mid-century opulence. All of that space is situated on 1.1 acres of land that includes professionally maintained gardens, plenty of storage, and covered parking for two cars.
