The Alta Drive Historic Neighborhood in Las Vegas is the perfect place to live. Not only are the homes there well-built, they’re all distinct, with styles ranging from midcentury modern to Mediterranean. Started in the 1950s, this neighborhood west of the downtown area, and a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip, is a piece of history and a wonderful neighborhood for families. And a home has just become available there, one with plenty of space and plenty of character.

Listed by Chip Madsen with IS LUXURY, this two-story home features six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a two-car garage across 5,047 square feet. It’s a true retreat from the craziness of Las Vegas, with all the amenities you will ever need (and a few you didn’t even know that you needed!).

The curb appeal of this home is tremendous; it instantly makes you nostalgic for 1950s America, with nicely manicured lawns, immaculate landscaping and a welcoming exterior. Things only get better once you enter and see the highlights throughout.

Where to begin? How about the kitchen? It’s gourmet-style, featuring an induction cooktop, double oven (plus convection), island with bar seating, wet bar and a glass walk-in wine room.

All six bedrooms throughout this home have plenty of space, and the main-level master bedroom is a true centerpiece, with custom walk-in closet, dual vanity, slipper tub and glass steam/shower. There’s also a full live-in casita above the garage.

One of the best things about the master bedroom is its access to the masterful backyard, which features a parterre-style lawn and pergola-covered seating areas. It all surrounds a lovely oval pool, which features a lounge area, bar seating serviceable through specially hinged windows into the wet bar, and a kitchen-style barbecue area. In addition to a wonderful lifestyle, you and your family have access to not only the Strip, but also Meadows Mall and the North Premium Outlets, not to mention being close to Harry Reid International Airport and the North Las Vegas Airport. The schools nearby include Ed W. Clark High School, Hyde Park Middle School, and Howard Wasden Elementary.
