Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives… Or at least they could be, if you were Diedre Hall or Drake Hogestyn; but assuming you aren’t, what is it about soap opera sets of plywood and cardboard that have made viewers for decades (and I do mean decades!) wish for that kind of glitz and glamour? I don’t have a full answer to that, but I do have an idea. It’s an attention to detail. What’s the difference between a great outfit and a stunning look? It’s the the Givenchy accessories! When it comes to a house, it’s not the square footage, or the number of rooms (although those are super important!); it’s the almost-overlooked accents that make you say, “Ohh!”, “Ahh!”, and “Wow!”.
Set on a hilltop, 207 Canyon Turn Trail offers spectacular indoor and outdoor dining and entertainment spaces, an open-plan chef-caliber kitchen, a wine tasting/storage room, a screening room, a Billiards room, and seven en-suite bedrooms – and that’s what makes it a house. What gives it a stunning look are the travertine floors with slate inlays. The hand-scraped wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout most bedrooms, which lends a rich tone. The exotic stone and marble mosaic tile work in most bathrooms. This home is truly a lakeside palace whose features are only accented further by the view!! Here’s a look as what goes into that kind of real estate “haute couture”:
