Chiara Vista is clearly beautiful!
Chiara Vista translates from Italian as clear view. The home of Dr. Steve and Julie Ruiz is that and so much more.
The Ruiz family was inspired to build their home by a feature published in a national magazine. They had dreams of a modern home that blended in with the surroundings, while embracing the stunning vistas of this 17-acre Rogers property.
Steve and Julie looked far and wide to find a builder to help them achieve their goal before finding the perfect match with Brandan Coulter and Bryson Coufal of Platinum Homes of Texas.
“Platinum Homes made our dream a reality and we are so grateful for their partnership. They listened to our vision and were very willing to try new things and push the envelope a bit for our area.”
Chiara Vista is a 3,058-square-foot open-concept home with soaring ceilings and oversized windows in every room. A 1,062-square-foot “bunkhouse” complements the main living area.
“We wanted a place where our future grandchildren could come “camp” and love learning about nature and the importance of family,” Julie said.
The main living air opens onto a 40-foot-long pool with wall-to-wall retractable doors manufactured locally by Glass Expanse of Troy.
“The views from every room in both the main house and bunkhouse are amazing! We love how we can open the main house to all the outdoor living areas as entertaining is an important aspect of our lives,” Julie said.
Steve and Julie Ruiz love their home and envision it as a fun, family space that will be enjoyed by multiple generations for years to come.
