Description

If E.M. Forester had written his Grand Tour novel at L'Aveare it would've been called "Every Room with a View." Spectacular vistas are ubiquitous: from the owners' suite; the his and hers bathrooms; the grandkids' suite; the conservatory guest room; and, especially, the office. (Which office? Take your pick.) Ancient northern Nevada skies framed by early modernist design. L'Aveare ("The Beehive" in Italian) is a real estate paradox: Downsize...to an elevated lifestyle., ***Like a Contessa who has lived, she has her flaws; they are cosmetic and straightforward. We provide some guidance in a design package available in the listing and onsite. She's also priced 300,000 under last year's professional appraisal, which allows for some improvements if you want them, or makes her an even better deal if you don't. A house of this size, on this site, with these views could be worth considerably more, making L'Aveare one of the best values of this season. (We've made a prospectus for her if you'd like to see it.) ***She's unique by design. Her public rooms are intimately-sized and discrete, embodying the interior design principles of Frank Lloyd Wright: smaller apertures, non-90 degree angles, built-in seating, niches. He thought interior spaces should mirror the natural world, where views are revealed gradually and in unexpected and delightful ways: the opposite of current floor plan vogue. Use the upstairs owners' suite until you can't manage the stairs and then either move into the two downstairs suites (where the views are only slightly less breathtaking), or install an elevator; there's a perfect place for it.
