306 Ridgewood : AD Stenger

This one has been on the market for a while, but I just got the heads up from a former owner that it was designed by A. D. Stenger. Unfortunately it looks like it is only being marketed for it's land value. That's why there aren't many good pictures (though good street view is helpful). According to the previous owner some of the interior features include "lake views, striking central fireplace and black marble floors remain intact and beautiful. ". Sounds like a saver to me.

601 Kinney

They say you get what you pay for, and with that in mind, there is a reason this Jay Hargrave designed house is priced at 3.2 million dollars. The specs and finishes read like a designers dream team; Bulthaup kitchen, Miele and Liebherr appliances and lot's of concrete and glass offset by warm built in cabinetry. Best part of all though is that despite the extravagant interior, the house is actually very subdued from the street. Nicely played.

2000 Alta Vista

This home is one of those truly original homes that can't be compared to anything else. At it's core is a 16' barrel vaulted atrium that creates a dramatic indoor outdoor connection. Speaking of outdoors, this place is an absolute refuge. It sits on 1/3 of an acre and is surrounded by mature landscaping and amazing gardens. Truly a one of a kinds.

10509 Superview

I'm going to go ahead and say that this house is on an aptly named road. It would be hard to call the view from that pool anything other than super. This house is also a great example of how location can save you a lot of money. If you don't mind driving 20 min to get downtown, your overall cost is going to be way lower. The biggest beef I have with this house is those stained concrete floors, but that's an easy fix.
