ESSENCE Live authentically. Mission Ridge in the heart of Sparks. Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, this brick traditional sets amidst woodland hills, where the driveway curves through sculptured grounds as if slowing you down on purpose. A circular drive enfolds a landscaped island of ornamental trees, boxwood spheres, ornamental grasses and a cobblestone fire-pit seating area. Immersed in natural beauty — lush plantings, sweeping vistas, and skies that transform brilliantly at dusk. Inside, light abounds. The inspired cooking space opens seamlessly into the family room... stacked-stone fireplace anchors. French doors open to the inviting screened porch and expansive TimberTech deck. Open sky. Soak underneath the stars in the bubbling hot tub. Wake up to birdsong. A lawn that rolls toward the tree line like a green tide going out. English pub aesthetic with restaurant style bar flows from lower level. A satisfying stillness. Incredible walkable proximity to the NCR trail. Cultivate your existence. The art of uniting human and home. LOCAL FLAVOR AND PROVISIONS John Brown Store and Wegmans. Favorite local dining at The Milton Inn, The Oregon Grill, The Butler Cabin, and The Filling Station.
