The Beautiful Las Vegas Home of Real Estate Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott

The Property Brothers enjoy some R&R at their Las Vegas home.

Jonathan and Drew Scott work hard. Drew is a real estate agent, Jonathan a licensed contractor. They are probably more familiar as the Property Brothers, stars of several shows on HGTV U.S., and W and DIY television networks. They often work in tandem, and their energy is palpable.

 

But everyone has to recharge sooner or later, and when the guys need downtime, they head for their shared home in Las Vegas. It’s said that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but they’ve graciously given us a glimpse of the Property Brothers’ life away from the TV cameras.

Just a brief chat with them makes it obvious that the joking and camaraderie evident on the show are real. That sense of playfulness carries over into their home lives, where such items as a two-storey waterslide accessed directly from the upstairs of their 5,500-square-foot renovated home lend credence to Las Vegas’s reputation as a city devoted to fun! fun! fun!

 

The formerly bland house is in a style that Jonathan calls “Nuevo Southwest – an American twist on Mediterranean style.” It was erected in 2008, and was “a builder basic on a dirt lot, but in a prime location.

“We tore out the back wall and replaced it with a 22-foot window wall to bring the outside in,” he says. “The majority of the cubic footage is in the living room with its 26-foot ceiling, so we put up a huge chandelier to bring down the height of the ceiling.”

Pretty much everything displayed in the living room (nearly everywhere in the house, in fact) has meaning for the brothers. “We don’t like stark modern design,” Drew says. “We like character. All these knick-knacks are conversation pieces, and every piece in the house has a story.”

The two master bedrooms have room for conversation pieces, too, but how to apportion the rooms also sparked some conversation. Since Jonathan spends more time in Las Vegas, he got the original master bedroom with a walkout balcony. “The room is designed around the big custom-made shelf, and has a gorgeous chandelier that I fell in love with,” he says. “I work nonstop and then sleep in until noon, so it has a really comfy bed.”

“Jonathan has the master closet in the master bedroom, but my room had a small closet,” says Drew. But don’t feel sorry for him because “I needed to expand my closet, and on the other side of my wall is the garage, so I took 17 feet from the garage and now my closet is bigger than Jonathan’s. My bedroom also has a private courtyard for my girlfriend and me to enjoy the sunset.”

Family is important to the brothers, who say there’s no drama in the Scott clan, and they love spending time together. Hence the enormous living area, capacious kitchen, large dining table, and well-equipped games room. But it’s outdoors where the brothers offer the most diversion to family and guests.

“In Vegas, you can enjoy outdoor space year-round, so we have an outdoor dining room,” says Jonathan. “We like to eat dinners with family and friends.”

“Originally I was thinking of a pretty simple yard, maybe just a small pool,” Drew says. “But Jonathan has two tiny dogs and wanted to give them the entire yard. ‘Are the dogs paying for the renovation?’ I asked. (“The dogs are a lot easier to please than Drew is,” rejoins Jonathan.)

“Then we thought we’d have a basketball court, maybe a hot tub as well,” continues Drew. “Now we’ve got a half court, and the hot tub, and a pool with a swim-up bar.” Not to mention the commercial-grade water slide, of course.

“We had our first pool party this year,” Jonathan says. “The only thing not there was the beach volleyball we originally wanted, but the pool is designed for water volleyball.”

With their emphasis on family, the brothers wanted a special place for their parents to enjoy when they headed south from Canada during the winter. The result: a two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house adjoining the pool that also houses the swim-up bar.

Having lived in the place since 2010, the brothers were fully primed when they started their five-and-a-half-month reno in January 2014. In June of this year they had a reunion that saw some 260 family members and friends give the amenities, indoors and out, a workout. Now that the brothers have test-driven their funhouse, does it meet expectations?

“Yes,” says Jonathan. Adds Drew, “The big thing now is finding time to use the space.”

  • “Eddie hides his face under a jokeshop (sic) mask.” Victoria artist Lyle Schultz says that lyric snippet from a song by Canadian skate-punk band SNFU about sums up his approach to life and art. “I tend to hide behind a sense of cartoon facade in most of my work,” he says. “It’s still me, but just hidden deep under many layers of paint.”  -Susan Kelly  Throwback to our profile of @lyleschultzart on our website, link in bio.  #art #canadianartist #artistsoninstagram #artwork #throwback #throwbacknothursday
  • ‘‘In 2017, I spent several nights living in a simple Buddhist temple surrounded by trees, high up on Japan’s Mount Kōya. I booked this retreat because several friends had recommended it to me as an intriguing cultural immersion. At the time, I thought of the trip as nothing more than an enjoyable break from city life.   I didn’t realize how meaningful my temple stay would be until 2020, when my life was shaken up by COVID-19 and seemingly endless months of lockdown. Now that I’m holed up in Vancouver, I often find myself thinking back to the nature walks and seasonal meals I shared with the Buddhist monks. By adapting their gentle practices to life in a pandemic, I have found a surprising source of resilience in these difficult times.’  - @lacarmina , text and photography  Read all about La Carmina’s experience on our website, link in bio.  #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #travelblogger #traveldiaries #covid_19 #temple #japan
  • ‘Tucked away in the heart of Old Montreal sits a well-preserved and award-winning Victorian building constructed in 1865. Originally an upscale hardware store, the space was transformed into 30 loft-style condos in 2001. Fifteen years later, Cuisines Steam lead designer Marie-France Elliott was called upon to reimagine a new kitchen for two lofts that were being combined into a sprawling, light-filled space with bleached oak flooring throughout.’

  • ´How could one not love a house with a “salle de discussion,” a conversation room?  It’s a calm, casual space just off the kitchen that is dedicated to quiet talk, music, contemplation—perhaps a leisurely drink. A place for a child to play while his or her parents cook dinner.  No television, no computer. Just art on the walls, a sound system and a few well-chosen pieces of comfortable furniture, easily configured into clusters that are conducive to sitting and talking.   This is one of the thoughtful, soulful rooms that designer Érik Maillé created when he and his eponymously named firm designed and oversaw the complete overhaul of a split-level house in the Montreal community of Town of Mount Royal. The renovation gave the home a mid-century California vibe that is timeless, contemporary and completely original.´

  • ‘I was finally going to the gym daily when the pandemic hit and shut everything. Before long, I started to gain the “quarantine fifteen” that has plagued those of us attempting to eat stress away. Something had to be done, quickly. So I pushed aside the coffee table and rolled out a mat, but this less-than-ideal space has me rethinking a home gym.’   - Julie Gedeon  For tips and trends in home gym setup read the full article on our website, link in bio.  #homegym #homegymsetup #gym #pandemiclife  Presenting work by:

  • ‘To move or to renovate? Like many families, Noele Wrycraft and husband Brad Warren started house-hunting when the home in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood that they’d lived in for 20 years became tired and outdated.  Instead of finding their dream home, all those open house visits persuaded them to stay put, says Noele, who hired designer Yvonne Whelan to carry out the transformation of their entire home, from the basement entertainment area to the third-floor master suite. Whelan says the couple were both very involved in the design process. “They just needed someone to goad them a little, push them out of their comfort zone,” she says.’
