The Story Behind
A Private Resort Lifestyle, Thoughtfully Built and Ready to Enjoy
There is a particular kind of home that resists easy categorization — one that is technically new construction yet carries the unmistakable weight of deliberate, personal vision. The residence at 127 Malpaso Street is precisely that. Completed just two years ago as a Toll Brothers Alba Elite within the gated enclave of Acadia Ridge in Redpoint Village, the home was subsequently reimagined through nearly $850,000 in custom design selections and owner improvements, producing a result that feels less like a production home and more like a commissioned work.
The arrival sequence sets the tone immediately. A contemporary facade of light-toned stucco and stone accents, framed by mature desert landscaping and warm accent lighting, announces a home that takes its architecture seriously. Inside, the foyer opens with high ceilings, large-format tile flooring, and a modern staircase with a refined metal railing — a composition that feels both welcoming and quietly impressive.
The great room anchors the main level with genuine drama. A soaring two-story volume draws the eye upward toward a floor-to-ceiling dark stone fireplace that commands the space without overwhelming it. A 12-foot multi-slide glass door dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, flooding the room with natural light and connecting seamlessly to the covered outdoor living area beyond. The kitchen, open to this grand volume, is built for both performance and gathering. Sleek matte black cabinetry provides a sophisticated counterpoint to light-toned stone countertops and a generous waterfall island with bar seating. A professional-style gas range with a statement vent hood, built-in refrigerator, double wall ovens, and a thoughtfully positioned dining area complete a space that is as functional as it is visually resolved.
The five-bedroom floor plan demonstrates the kind of spatial intelligence that comes from genuine design thinking. The primary suite occupies the main level, opening directly to the pool through large sliding glass doors — a gesture that blurs the line between the bedroom and the resort beyond. The ensuite bath is a study in considered luxury: a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath a plantation-shuttered window, a zero-threshold glass shower finished in neutral-toned tile, a dual floating vanity with an expansive mirror, and a custom-organized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms on the main level offer flexibility for family or guests, while upstairs, two further bedrooms and a generous loft space provide a secondary living zone that opens to a covered deck with views of the mountains beyond.
The backyard represents the home's most memorable chapter. A rectangular pool fitted with integrated swim jets and a raised spa anchors the space, while a stone-clad linear fire feature provides warmth and atmosphere as the sun drops behind the Spring Mountains. The covered outdoor kitchen and entertainment pavilion — complete with a built-in grill, integrated sink, stainless appliances, and bar seating — is finished to the same standard as the interior. Mature palms, manicured artificial turf, layered landscape lighting, and a thoughtfully composed hardscape complete a private setting that performs beautifully from midday through evening.
Throughout, the details confirm the depth of investment: designer lighting, plantation shutters on every window, custom closets, whole-home water filtration, built-in security cameras, structured wiring, patio speakers, smart-home infrastructure, and an epoxy-finished garage. Nothing here was an afterthought.
To understand the full value of 127 Malpaso Street, it is worth understanding the community in which it sits — and the master-planned city that surrounds it. Summerlin, the award-winning planned community developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation on Las Vegas's western edge, has long represented the most refined residential address the valley has to offer. Spanning roughly 22,500 acres at the base of the Spring Mountains and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Summerlin was conceived not merely as a subdivision but as a complete, self-sustaining community — one built around parks, trails, schools, and a genuine sense of place.
Within Summerlin's expansive framework, Redpoint Village represents one of the community's newest and most thoughtfully designed neighborhoods. Developed in the latter part of the master plan's build-out, Redpoint and its companion village, Redpoint Square, were designed to reflect contemporary architectural sensibilities — clean lines, modern desert-influenced materials, and a pedestrian-friendly village structure that encourages connection among residents. The neighborhood's relative newness means that infrastructure, landscaping, and amenities are all in their prime, offering a sense of freshness that older Las Vegas communities simply cannot replicate.
Acadia Ridge, the gated enclave within Redpoint Village where this home resides, adds a further layer of privacy and exclusivity to an already desirable address. Gated access, curated streetscaping, and a community of similarly well-appointed homes create an environment where the quality of one's surroundings is consistently maintained.
The broader Summerlin lifestyle is characterized by extraordinary access to the outdoors. More than 150 miles of interconnected trails wind through the community's parks and open spaces, accommodating cyclists, runners, and walkers of every ability level. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, one of the most spectacular geological landscapes in the American Southwest, lies just minutes from the front door — offering world-class hiking, rock climbing, and scenic drives through dramatic red sandstone formations that frame the western horizon.
For daily life and weekend indulgence alike, Downtown Summerlin provides a sophisticated retail and dining hub anchored by over 125 shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. From farm-to-table dining and nationally recognized fitness concepts to boutique shopping and a seasonal outdoor concert series, Downtown Summerlin functions as the community's cultural and commercial heart. The adjacent Las Vegas Ballpark, home to the Las Vegas Aviators, adds a spirited recreational dimension to the neighborhood calendar.
Families are well served by the Summerlin school system, which includes some of the highest-rated public and private schools in the Las Vegas Valley. The community's network of neighborhood parks — many featuring sports courts, playgrounds, and event lawns — ensures that recreational opportunity exists within easy reach of any front door.
In this context, 127 Malpaso Street is not simply a beautifully upgraded home. It is an entry point into one of the American West's most thoughtfully conceived residential communities — a place where the landscape, the lifestyle, and the architecture all conspire to make daily life feel, in the best possible sense, extraordinary.
