This North Las Vegas ranch house has some of the most practical upgrades I have seen in a long time
Normally, when you look at houses in this price range, they’re either totally outdated or flipped with cheap materials. This one in North Las Vegas is different because the owner clearly cared about how the place actually functions.
Out front
The neighborhood is called Riverwalk Ranch, and it has an established look as soon as you drive in.
From the street, you get a stucco exterior and a three-car garage, which is a rare find around here.
Before you even get to the front door, there is a courtyard entryway that adds a layer of privacy.
The entry foyer
Once you get through the double screen doors, you walk into an entry hall with tile flooring.
The main living space
The living room is massive, with high ceilings that make the whole area feel twice as big.
The floors are hardwood laminate with a ceramic coating, so they can handle heavy furniture or pets without getting scuffed up.
You can see how open the layout is from here, looking straight back toward the kitchen counter.
In the kitchen
The kitchen island has this custom tree cutout on the front, which gives the space some immediate personality.
Inside the kitchen, there are dark cabinets, granite counters, and a reverse osmosis water system.
The sink faces the living room, so you aren’t staring at a blank wall while you wash dishes.
You also get a tankless water heater and a water softener, which are those hidden upgrades you usually have to buy yourself.
The dining spot
Right off the kitchen is the breakfast nook, which has a bay window overlooking the side yard.
Double doors lead straight from the dining table out to the back patio.
The main suite
The primary bedroom is huge, with plenty of room for bedroom sets and a sitting area.
There is even a corner fireplace under the TV to make the room feel extra comfortable in the winter.
The bay window lets in light without making the space feel exposed.
Bathrooms and laundry
The primary bathroom has a double vanity with dark cabinets that match the kitchen.
But the real highlight is this walk-in tub with therapeutic jets.
It also has a separate shower stall, so you get options depending on how much time you have.
The second bathroom is also clean, with a wood vanity and a standard shower-tub combo.
Even the laundry room is set up well, with front-loading machines and some storage cabinets.
The extra bedrooms
The other bedrooms are a good size, like this one with a space-themed ceiling fan.
They all have those same scratch-resistant floors, which makes cleaning a breeze.
Clever details
The hallway has a security gate on the back exit door, which is great for letting a breeze in while keeping things safe.
The backyard situation
The backyard is built for hanging out, with a covered patio that runs along the back of the house.
There are ceiling fans out here to keep you cool during those desert afternoons.
You also get a barbecue grill connected directly to a gas line.
That means no more running out of propane in the middle of cooking dinner.
There is a storage shed on the side of the house to keep your lawn tools out of sight.
The rest of the yard is low-maintenance gravel, leaving you more time to actually enjoy the space.
