Buildable plan: Plan 2, Alpine Ridge, Las Vegas, NV 89166

Throw a party here and you can get from the outdoor front portico to the kitchen-all the way at the back of the house-without ever stepping inside. That's the magic of a wrap-around courtyard with direct access to the backyard, which connects to the covered outdoor living space, that connects to the light-filled kitchen. In non-party mode, this house works like a boss, with office space just off the entry foyer and optional French doors to connect it to the courtyard. Across the hall, find the powder and laundry nook, and down the way, bedrooms two and three and a shared bath. Perfect for entertaining, the great room and dining are large, flowing spaces adjacent the kitchen. And the private primary suite feels like it's in its own world-an oasis with its own hallway linen closet, a huge walk-in closet, dual sinks, and an option for a serene spa shower.
