For the party crowd
Much like Smathers’ original projects, the two-story home is set up to handle a party crowd. Pocketing doors open from the common rooms to a covered patio with a dining area. A swimming pool and spa sit across from the patio..

Hoping sale will be piece of cake
Built in 2016, the two-story house presents as a Cape Codinspired contemporary in the farmhouse style. Modern touches include Calacatta marble slabs and sliding barn-style doors. Black cabinetry and gold Waterworks fixtures create visual contrast in the chef’s kitchen.

He fell in love with house
Designed in traditional style, the two-story house is fronted by a hedged motor court. Beyond the two-story entry is a living room with a fireplace, a wood-paneled study and a great room with a bar. Abutler’s pantry connects the dining room and kitchen area.

From orange fields to college hub
Whereas many cities that trace their histories back to the late 1800s embraced the mythos of Alta California when it came to naming their nascent metropolises, the founders of Pomana reached even further back, plucking an obscure Roman goddess out of the pantheon and dropping her on the city seal.

As urban cores grow dense, trendy postage-stamp backyards offer dashes of green but barely have room to accommodate grills. The solution: Home builders are creating generous elevated alfresco areas in single-family homes and luxury high-rises by blasting open walls on upper stories or maxing out balcony space.
