Welcome to the Stremmel house, Nevada's most photographed home.
An art-lover's dream house, Mark Mack custom-designed this architectural masterpiece for Reno-based art gallery owners Peter and Turkey Stremmel.
The 6,515-square-foot home sits 1,000 feet above Reno on over nine acres of desert land. Read: you get 360-degree views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, the Great Basin valley floor, and every sunset and moonrise.
The Stremmel house is ranked in Architectural Digest's list of the top 10 buildings in the world, and Architectural Record once deemed it house of the year - making the $5.48 million pricetag seem reasonable.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and a skylight over the living area bring nature inside.
The four bedroom, five bathroom (plus two half baths) home is very inviting to guests.
If you're hosting a party, prepare drinks at the bar and converse in one of the living areas. Then enjoy a meal in the dining room, which can seat up to 22 people.
There's also a private guest suite with its own bathroom and sitting area.
But the real bedroom superstar is the master suite. It has a steam shower, walk-in closet, dual vanities, and private patio.
In the kitchen you'll find poured concrete counters, prep and cooking areas, and double convection ovens. Just off the kitchen is a breakfast nook and sliding glass door that leads to the backyard.
Beyond the usual living space suspects, there's also an exercise area, office, indoor aviary, loft-style library, and laundry area. The latter includes an indoor-outdoor kennel for you pup.
And naturally, given the almost year-round summer temperatures in Nevada, there is a pool - as well as an outdoor patio complete with a fireplace.
Kathie Bartlett of Dickson Realty holds the listing for the Stremmel House (339 Anitra Drive).
Here's a virtual tour of the colorful home.
