White Gables Estate
Centennial Hills
The White Gables Estate is a cottage style custom home Las Vegas families design once and keep forever. Built from the ground up in Centennial Hills, this 6,024-square-foot traditional cottage home has six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and a level of character in every room that you rarely see in new construction. From the hidden doors concealed in the office and kids' room trimwork to the wallpaper and millwork that define every space, every detail was chosen to add warmth and personality — not just square footage.

The client came to Kingdom & Co. with a question most families never think to ask: how do you build a new home that already feels like it has a story? They wanted a timeless traditional cottage where their five children could grow up with room to breathe, and where those kids would want to bring their own families back someday.
That brief shaped every decision — from the six-bedroom layout to the archways and faux beams to the trimwork and wallpaper that give each room its own identity. Designed by Amanda Johnson, with Kingdom & Co., the White Gables Estate proves that character in a home comes from details, not from budget.
A Cottage Style Custom Home Las Vegas Built for the Next Generation
What does a cottage-style custom home look like in Las Vegas? In most of the valley, it does not exist. The majority of custom builds lean modern, desert contemporary, or transitional. The White Gables Estate is different. This is a 6,024-square-foot cottage style custom home Las Vegas build in Centennial Hills with six bedrooms and six full bathrooms, designed for a family of seven who wanted warmth, character, and room to grow — not just a large footprint.
The client’s brief was future-focused. Five kids today. Grandkids someday. They wanted every room to feel spacious without anyone feeling on top of each other. They wanted a home that would age well, one that felt layered and collected rather than brand-new. Amanda Johnson, lead interior designer at Kingdom & Co., translated that brief into a design where the finishes — not the floorplan — carry the personality.
Trimwork and Wallpaper: Where the Character Lives
If you walked through the White Gables Estate on a tour, the first things you would point out are the feminine details that add character: the slab details in the bathrooms, the archways between rooms, the trimwork and wallpaper throughout, and the faux ceiling beams overhead. This is not a home where drywall carries the design. The surfaces are the design.
The downstairs guest bathroom is a standout. Patterned wallpaper framed by detailed wood trim turns a small room into a space with outsized presence. The butler’s pantry follows the same approach: layered trim, curated finishes, and wallpaper that sets a mood distinct from the kitchen it serves. Crown molding, wainscoting, and paneled walls appear in multiple rooms, and in a cottage style custom home Las Vegas build like this, those details read as intentional character — not builder upgrades.
As Amanda Johnson put it during the design process: it does not always cost a lot of money to add character to a home through the finishes. There are details to think of that do not require a premium budget. That philosophy defined the White Gables Estate from start to finish.
Hidden Doors Built Into the Trimwork
How do you add surprise to a family home without adding cost? Build it into the millwork. The White Gables Estate includes hidden doors integrated seamlessly into the wood paneling in three rooms. In the home office, a full panel wall swings open to a concealed storage area. Two of the children’s bedrooms feature the same treatment — panel doors disguised within the wall trim that lead to closets or adjoining spaces.
These are not gimmicks. They are functional storage solutions that also happen to delight every person who discovers them. In a cottage style custom home Las Vegas project, this kind of custom millwork is planned during the design phase and coordinated with the construction team — which is why the design-build model matters. Separate firms cannot execute hidden doors at this level of integration.
Finishes Built for a Family of Seven
The finish palette across the White Gables Estate was selected for a specific reality: five children and decades of daily use. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and available in styles that closely replicate hardwood without the maintenance. Quartz countertops appear in the kitchen, all bathrooms, and the butler’s pantry — non-porous, stain-resistant, and zero-sealing required.
Cabinetry throughout uses standard paint-grade options in a clean palette that lets the trimwork and wallpaper take center stage. Hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures use a mixed-metal approach: satin brass, matte black, and polished nickel appear in different rooms, coordinated to each space’s personality. In a cottage style custom home Las Vegas families actually live in, this mixed-metal strategy avoids the single-finish monotony that flattens large homes.
The Primary Bathroom: Slab Shower Walls From Floor to Ceiling
The primary bathroom features full-height slab shower walls — a detail the client was set on from the beginning of the design process. Finding the right material took time. The first selections cracked during ceiling installation, and the installation team had to adapt their approach to secure the slab at the ceiling line without compromising the seamless look. The result is a floor-to-ceiling stone surface that anchors the primary suite and serves as one of the most distinctive finishes in the home.
Indoor-Outdoor Living: Slider and Kitchen Pass-Through
In any cottage style custom home Las Vegas build, indoor-outdoor connections matter. The White Gables Estate connects indoors to outdoors through two features designed for everyday use. A large sliding glass door off the great room opens directly to the backyard, extending the main living space outward. At the kitchen, a pass-through counter at the window creates an outdoor eating and serving area — perfect for the kind of casual family entertaining this cottage style custom home Las Vegas build was designed around.
One Year From Groundbreaking to Final Walkthrough
The White Gables Estate was completed in approximately one year from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. The scope included the full 6,024-square-foot build — all six bedrooms, six bathrooms, custom trimwork, hidden doors, and the level of wallpaper and finish detail that a cottage style custom home Las Vegas project of this scale demands.
One challenge specific to this project was a delay during the lot subdivision process through the city, which required coordination before construction could begin. Once underway, every phase was managed through Kingdom & Co.’s design-build process to keep the build on schedule without compromising the finishes that make this home what it is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Slab shower walls and tile each have advantages — neither is universally better. Slab walls deliver one continuous, uninterrupted material surface with no grout lines, creating a clean, high-end aesthetic that’s harder to source and install but visually unmatched. Tile offers more pattern flexibility, broader material options, and a generally easier installation process. Kingdom & Co. installs both depending on the design intent. The primary suite at The White Gables Estate uses slab shower walls because the owners wanted that single-surface aesthetic — and the K&C installation team handled the slab application with custom techniques to deliver the original design vision intact.
Luxury custom home construction in the Las Vegas valley varies widely based on lot, scope, square footage, structural complexity, finish level, and any specialty materials. Most luxury new builds start in the high six figures and scale into the low millions for whole-home custom work. Kingdom & Co. develops an informed budget range during the discovery phase based on the specific property and scope. Final pricing is locked in during design after layout and finish selections are finalized. The White Gables Estate is an example of how character-driven design and considered finishes can deliver luxury without relying on exotic materials.
Most luxury custom homes in the Las Vegas valley take 12 to 24+ months from groundbreaking to final walkthrough, depending on square footage, scope, finish complexity, structural detail, and material lead times. The White Gables Estate, a 6,024-square-foot traditional cottage with extensive custom trimwork, three concealed millwork doors, and slab shower walls, was completed in approximately 13 months. Kingdom & Co. develops a realistic schedule during pre-construction based on the specific scope and current material lead times — not a one-size-fits-all estimate.
The White Gables Estate uses quartz countertops and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring throughout — both chosen for durability in a household with five children. Quartz is non-porous, stain-resistant, and does not require sealing. LVP is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and available in wood-look styles that replicate hardwood without the maintenance. Hardware and fixtures use satin brass, matte black, and polished nickel in a mixed-metal approach that adds visual interest and hides daily wear.
Centennial Hills is a master-planned area in the northwest Las Vegas valley, organized around the Centennial Parkway corridor along the US-95 spine. The neighborhood developed rapidly in the early 2000s and is known for larger residential lots, newer construction, and quieter residential pockets compared to central Las Vegas. The neighborhood was a natural fit for the 6,024-square-foot White Gables Estate.
