The Aerie one of Renos most iconic properties. First time on the market since its completion, this special gem is beyond compare. Built in harmony with the land this is more than a home. The Aerie is art you get to live in. Poised like a sentry high above Reno, capturing sweeping views of the Truckee River corridor and downtown city lights, the dramatic architecture by Joel Sherman, JLS Design, is in concert with its natural elements. Built to commercial quality construction standards, nothing in this homes design and finishing has been overlooked. Massive arched glulams span the front of the house and anchor the mountain behind. The deep stained fiber-cement lap siding, Cor-Ten weathering steel of the roof and undulating retaining wall provide fire suppression and architectural excitement. The functionality of the home offers the ultimate comfort and intelligence. There are 19 zones of hydronic radiant in-floor heating (garages included), 5 A/C zones, top line water purifier systems and storage tanks, and extensive smart house features far beyond Wi-fi & Bluetooth. For entertaining ease a separate catering kitchen supplements the main kitchen equipped with Wolf and Gaggenau appliances and full-height wine refrigerator. The stacking doors disappear for access to the patio and landscape. Every room of this home enjoys breathtaking views of the city, mountains or valley. The living room features its own entertaining center and see-through fireplace to the deck. Among the 5 bedrooms, 6-1/2 baths, offices, conference room and other spaces there are 13 exit doors, 6 decks and numerous patios. The dramatic glass and steel staircase allows light to penetrate top to bottom in day, bottom to top at night. An elevator with glass safety doors is convenient for the second level and top floor glass-ceilingd loft which also serves as an art gallery. The entire 1.32 acre hillside property has been transformed, essentially re-wilded. Designed and finished by the owners and landscape architect Jana Vanderhaar, meandering switchback trails cover the entire property. The harmonious blending of horticulture is ecologically smart and ascetically pleasing with wildflowers, groves of quaking Aspens, rose gardens, and fire- and wildlife-resistant carefully cultivated native vegetation. A once in a lifetime opportunity. The Aerie: where living is experiential!
