The Perfect Space

From the Copa Room to the Colosseum, Las Vegas has always been at the forefront of modern luxury. The real estate market is no different, with the sharp angles and clean lines of modern architecture popping up against the more jagged mountainous surroundings. And you'll find that and more at 1425 Canyon Ledge Court, designed and built by Blue Heron.

The open concept kitchen overlooks an expansive living room and dining area, ideal for entertaining. The polished concrete floors are easy to clean and give a refined industrial feel that is balanced by the warmth of dark wood cabinetry in the kitchen. A centerpiece of this ample living area is the gorgeous, 21-foot-high stone fireplace.

Large sliding glass doors make the spacious backyard seem like an extension of the downstairs entertaining space. Modernity extends to the exterior with a beautifully lit pool and hot tub. The backyard grill is perfect for barbecue masters. Grab a seat at the adjacent bar area to get a glimpse of the grilling action.

This property is full of unexpected luxurious touches like a wine refrigerator, a sauna and an additional fireplace on the rooftop terrace, plus a loft area that makes the perfect game room, complete with a wet bar. Enjoy both Strip and mountain views from the rooftop terrace.

Expert Look: Zane Weber

Zane Weber is one of those true Las Vegas rarities; he was actually born and raised here. Weber's insider knowledge of the area makes him uniquely qualified for his job as a Realtor, and he explains, "I used to be in the nightclub industry, so I have a good relationship with people who used to visit town and are now getting into the real estate market here."

When asked what makes the Las Vegas market unique, Weber notes, "Las Vegas itself. It's a 24-hour town. We have so many different types of private schools, we have the amenities, the entertainment and we have some of the best world-class food."

Weber advises people to capitalize on the current interest rates to get the most for their real estate dollars. He notes, "I think it's a good buyer's market right now, especially with the interest rates. The average person can afford more."

Weber's pro tip is encouraging prospective buyers to explore the area and do in-person research. "If you're looking to not just invest and you want to live here, you need to come out and get an idea of the areas. Don't go off of what you buddy's aunt says about Henderson; come out and look for yourself." –Allison Duck
