luxury home roofing


                One of the most prominent parts of a house is the roofing. Luxury homes in Las Vegas usually stand out from other regular homes because they have marvelous roofing styles. Here are some of the most commonly used roofing styles for luxury homes in Las Vegas:

Flat Roof

                This is a type of roof that is actually horizontal or nearly horizontal. A roof can have up to 10° incline and still be considered flat. This is usually seen on commercial or corporate buildings. Its contemporary style is one of the reasons why it is adapted in luxury homes.

Arched Roof

                An arched roof is a roofing style designed to form an arch just like that of a curve. It is not typically used in a normal home design because it is requires more skill and cost to execute. Arched roofing uses unconventional roofing materials, which is the reason why it is commonly seen in luxury homes.

Hip Roof

                This is a common style of roofing. All the sides of this roof are slightly sloped. Hip roofing could be compared to a pyramid, except it has lower degree of sloping and it is rectangular in nature. It means that two sides of the hip roof are triangular while the other two sides are trapezoidal. Hip roofing may be easy on the eyes, but its construction is quite complex which is another reason that it is often used in luxury home construction.

Cross Gable Roof

                Gable roof is a double-slope roofing that forms a gable at each end. A cross gable type of roofing is achieved if a house structure has at least three gables that intersect. A gable is the triangular portion of a wall that is located in a dual-pitched roof. This type of roofing is one of the most aesthetically pleasing roofing styles which is why it is used in luxury homes. It gives a classic look and feel to the house.

las vegas equestrian property




An equestrian property is one of the most exclusive and prestigious types of real estate properties. This type of property is perfect for horse enthusiasts and for those who want to engage in horse-related sports. There are plenty of Las Vegas Equestrian properties in Nevada. Here are some tips that will be beneficial for you if you want to buy an equestrian property:

  • Think long-term


                An equestrian property is a big investment considering the size of the land. Think about how this property can help you. It could be an extension of your land or home enlargement projects, a rental space for people who want to practice horse-related sports, or simply a property for luxury. Make sure that if you buy an equestrian property, your plan would still be feasible in the future.

  • Work with a reliable professional


                Hire a real estate agent who is not just familiar with the area, but also someone who is also familiar with regulations, zoning requirements, permit process and other land issues, specifically in Nevada. This professional should also be able to help you in finding the right people when it comes to property enhancements and maintenance, particularly in maintaining an equestrian property.

  • Consider the geometric properties of the land


                People have different preferences when it comes to their land property. Some people look for flat land and some look for sloped lands which is preferable for endurance training for horses. It is always up to you, the buyer, whichever type of land you prefer for an equestrian property.

  • Be aware of the setbacks and other restrictions


                Check the setbacks and other restrictions practiced in Las Vegas. Setbacks are the minimum space between certain buildings from particular land features. Being aware of these restrictions could help you avoid violations if you consider developing your property in the future.

  • Consider the water supply


                The water supply is one of the necessities of an equestrian property because it has large areas that may require irrigation. An equestrian property has several options for water supply. Some properties already have established well systems. If there are existing wells in your property, let your water supplier inspect them. You should also be aware of how much water your well system can produce because there are several local regulations regarding that.


Shapiro & Sher Group can help you in finding the right equestrian property in Las Vegas. For inquiries, just call 702 315 0223.

Shapiro & Sher Group
1215 S Fort Apache Rd #210

Here are some of the luxury home trends that are yet to emerge in 2015:


Bathrooms

Jacuzzi tubs have once ruled the area of luxury bathrooms. Nowadays, enormous showers with individual shower heads for men and women are becoming popular. If you are worried about running out of hot water, you can use stylish tankless water heaters. Integrated dressing rooms are also popular for luxury homes this year. These are small rooms with chairs, mirrored walls/whole-body mirrors, and adequate space for hanging your clothes.


Kitchens

All-white kitchens are still on the trend even though there are many color options for the flooring, cabinets, backsplashes and kitchen counter. The all-white color can vary from stark white, creamy white or beyond pale blue gray, giving depth and aesthetic appeal. Stainless steel appliances are also in the trend. They can give a sharp contrast that will highlight the all-white color of your kitchen.

Pantries

These days, people who are looking for luxury homes want to have an area with an abundant space for storage, preparation and supplementary appliances. Based on the open floor plans of some luxury homes, a kitchen is now also used for gatherings and celebrations. However, the preparation of food should normally be hidden from the guests. This is the reason why super pantries are becoming a trend. They allow the chef to prepare the meal without losing the “voila!” moment when the food is served.


Outdoor spaces


Outdoor spaces for entertainment are also one of the trends for luxury homes in 2015. One of the examples is an outdoor kitchen. It usually includes premium stone grills and barbecues, as well as enclosed kitchen counters that are used in preparing food when there are celebrations or parties. Outdoor kitchens are usually placed near the pool area. Some ideas for an outdoor relaxing space include gardens, patios with fire pits, or a home bar.

High-end Technology

One of the elite features of a luxury home is the built-in smart home technology. There are numerous gadgets and accessories that can be added in a luxury home like:


Keyless entry in the form of fingerprint door locks with numerical algorithms.

Las Vegas, NV 89117
United States



Living in one of the luxury homes in Las Vegas allows you to enjoy several features that a normal home does not have. Some of these features are already available upon purchase or you have the option to install them. Either way, these features will even improve the high-end life that you are already living.


Two-storey Family Room

Kitchen with Wine Cooler

                This is perfect for wine enthusiasts who want to preserve their wines and wait for their taste to improve over time. These wine coolers usually come with the overall design of the kitchen and they maintain a constant temperature. Some wine coolers have multiple temperature zones which are perfect for different wines that need different temperature.



Game Room

                This feature could be pricey but it gives you the convenience to play your favorite recreational activity in your own home. The most common game played in a game room is billiards, but some luxury owners choose to install their own bowling alley or their own arcade gaming machines. The good thing of having your own game room is you can choose any game that you please.

An Outdoor Kitchen

                An outdoor kitchen is a good bonding place for your family or for your visitors, especially if you are having a pool party. It is more convenient than cooking inside the house then bringing the food outside. It also adds value to your home.

An Elevator

                Having an elevator in your own luxury home is highly beneficial. It can be used to take some furniture (within the elevator's capacity, of course) upstairs without any hassle. It also gives comfort for you and your guests especially if your house is a four-storey or more home. It also adds value to your home.

An Exercise Room

Ascaya: Taking Luxury to a Whole New Level

Shapiro & Sher Group
1215 S Fort Apache Rd #210
Las Vegas, NV 89117
United States

Ascaya

Ascaya, a multi-million dollar custom-home community in Henderson, is now open for home buyers. The 5-year development plan of this next-level community will start this year. There are 313 home sites in Ascaya, and some of them are already sold.

                Recently, Ascaya partnered up with Tesla for a one weekend. Tesla cars were test driven around Ascaya, showing off a glimpse of a grandiose life. Ascaya and Tesla obviously offer different commodities, but they surely have the same clientele which clearly want one thing – luxury.

                Why do some prefer to reside in a luxury community? Here are some of the reasons:

Incredible neighborhood that provides excellent privacy

                The custom homes that rest in luxury real estate usually have wider space around the property. They are also usually a bit far from their neighbors, but not too far to the point of seclusion. This kind of community provides you more privacy than any other communities. 

Lots of outdoor activities

                Besides the fact that top-of-the-line homes have wider space that could possibly give you the chance to have activities done in your own yard, a luxury community has various amenities for its residents. Although Ascaya is still under development, future homeowners of this incredible real estate will be able to enjoy a private clubhouse with spa, fitness center, tennis courts, a private pool and many others.

A great escape

                People who want to stay away from the city's busy and noisy environment can enjoy the peace and quiet neighborhood that most luxury real estates can offer. Although living in Ascaya provides a serene ambiance, you can still manage to enjoy the beauty of the city. This neighborhood allows the residents to enjoy the panoramic views of the Las Vegas strip every day.



Be one of the future residents of Ascaya with the help of Shapiro & Sher Group. Just call 702-315-0223 for a private viewing.
