‘Dream homes’ going on display

Thursday, Sept. 14, 2000 | 11:28 a.m.

Street of Dreams, a tour of nine luxury homes built by nine different home builders, opens Saturday for a six-week run in Henderson's Seven Hills area.

The event enables builders, architects, interior designers and landscapers the opportunity to show their work in high-end settings in one location. Homes in this year's show range in value from $1.2 million to $2.9 million and in size from 4,400 to 7,700 square feet.

The showing, at Seven Hills' Venezia neighborhood, is on Grand Hills Drive near Seven Hills Drive. Tours are offered from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Tickets are available until two hours before closing. The show is closed Mondays except for the Columbus Day holiday Oct. 9.

Tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for senior citizens and children 4-12. Children 3 and under are free. Groups of 25 or more get a $1.50 discount.

Street of Dreams conducts similar shows in 60 North American cities. The last Southern Nevada show occurred in 1998 and was about half the size of this year's event.

Builders participating in this year's show are Remington Homes, a $2.9 million Tuscan villa; Sun West Custom Homes, a $2.2 million Spanish country home; Raftery Homes, a $2.5 million modern European-Mediterranean design; Western States Custom Homes, a $2.8 million soft contemporary home; and Stuart Michael Inc., a $1.9 million classic American dwelling.

Other houses were developed by Martin Homes, a $2.4 million Mediterranean villa; Eckhaus Custom Homes, a $2.8 million Old World European design; U.S. Home Custom Residential Division, a $1.2 million Spanish hacienda; and Signature Custom Homes, a $1.5 million Tuscan-Mediterranean villa.
