ter bedrooms are not off limits. “Homes used to be much more compartmentalized. Today, the kitchen opens to the great room and the great room opens to the dining room,” says Jade Mills with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Beverly Hills. “The spaces seem so much larger because you don’t have the walls. People love that loft feeling.” Probably one of the most important characteristics of homes today is flexibility. For upscale properties that means spaces that accommodate intimate gatherings as well as large-scale events, easily transitioning from informal to lavish. How one plans to use the property, especially preferences for entertaining, affect almost every aspect of a home’s design, says Joe St. Jean, chief architect at Scholz Design in Toledo, Ohio. Quite often, owners have very different priorities for each home. One property might be casual; another more formal. Almost all are geared toward gathering family and friends. Even the entry is important because it sets the tone, says St. Jean. The progression, from the gate up the driveway to a porch or portico and to the house itself, broadcasts the owner’s personality before guests even set foot inside. From an architect’s perspective, circulation — ensuring an ease of movement and natural flow between spaces — is a primary consideration. As outdoor living becomes even more closely woven into the way a home functions, the flow from inside to exterior living areas, both visually and physically, will be even more important. In the “Mad Men” era, there was a definite division between public and private spaces. That line has almost disappeared today. A

ering to watch a game or movie or perhaps have a pasta bar set up in the kitchen for more formal entertaining,” says Gena Barber, an interior designer with Scholz Design. Cooking itself has become a focus for entertaining. “To cook while your company is visiting as opposed to preparing ahead of time and simply serving dinner out of thin air [a la ‘Mad Men’] is now in vogue. Drinking wine and gathering around the island while Mrs. Smith (or a professional chef) explains how that Thai peanut sauce is made” is very much in vogue, explains Jennifer Gilmer, owner of Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen & Bath in Chevy Chase, Md. What makes these wide-open spaces function so effectively are well-planned interiors. Designers tame huge areas such as great rooms with an overlay of details and textures. Focal points such as fireplaces and big-screen televisions as well as seating areas define specific enclaves inviting people to linger. Well-planned kitchens might have several different seating areas, including casual dining, around an island and on an adjacent patio. Increasingly, consumers want activity areas near the kitchen. For architects, that means great rooms as an alternative to having a home theater on another floor. Owners “don’t always want to be sequestered on another level to watch a movie,” says Gena Barber, an interior designer at Scholz Design, adding, “Look for more blackout shades in great rooms.” In spite of a trend toward smaller homes, catering kitchens are still an important feature in luxury homes. People might want a show kitchen where they can entertain and everyone can sit around the

island, but they also want to have a second kitchen where much of the real work is being done out of sight. It has to be functional but not necessarily huge. Like other luxury amenities, St. Jean sees the catering kitchen concept trickle down to other price brackets where it’s reiterated as a large or small butler’s pantry. Dining rooms are still a “must have,” even if they are only used for holiday dinners. “People are decorating them beautifully but I am not hearing that they are using them,” says Lisa Davidson, owner of LMD Interior Design in Portland, Ore. More often than not, they are set up for a buffet, says Tamara Tennant, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., interior designer. Barber sometimes finishes a dining room with a library look if she knows the room might do double duty at some point as an office. Depending on the region of the country, bars are either very popular or something designers are taking out of homes. On the other hand, it seems there can’t be too many places to display and enjoy wine. Quite often, a luxurious bar with drawer dishwasher and refrigerator will replace a tasting room, particularly if the cellar isn’t on the main floor. Larger, more expensive homes might have multiple areas for wine storage with space carved out on the main floor for a temperature-controlled display area in a grotto or nook. Or there might simply be a wine cooler in a butler’s pantry. Nationally, living rooms are on the decline but many upscale owners still want these more formal spaces, often for large-scale entertaining and charity events. A good example is a St. Jean home that won a “Best in American Living” award at the 2010 International Builder’s Show. The living room can accommodate as many as 100 guests, as it

seating could be arranged for such a large number. A pool or billiards table creates an instant gathering spot, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a great room or a game room. Bonus rooms and game rooms are often used for entertaining (of children as well as adults) as much as for family. Often these spaces will have a miniature kitchen with a beverage area, drawer refrigerator and dishwasher. Beyond these basics, entertaining options can be as diverse as an ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account and interests allow. A reproduction of a soda or ice cream shop, a room with a stage designed for performances and karaoke, discos, bowling alleys and indoor sport courts are not a rarity in upscale homes. Observation towers and decks with a telescope are also another place where an owner might gather guests for afterdinner drinks and a little star gazing. Collections create another opportunity for entertaining spaces. A classic example might be a garage with a car collection or even simply a one-of-a-kind vintage model. Often, owners have a seating area where aficionados can admire the collection and trade stories. Multi-room offices frequently include room for informal meetings, often with seating in front of a fireplace and a bar or small kitchen that includes a refrigerator and drawer dishwasher. Libraries and studies are also ideal for tea or to cozy up with a friend. Ultimately, the real impetus behind these changes in entertaining is a shift in consumer values that places a premium on the experience a property delivers, most especially gathering friends and family. Which, in the end, really does make home the place where the heart is.

Making You Feel Above It All

On a street of Beatles fame, 1525 Blue Jay Way artfully transports its occupants to a whole different world. By Camilla McLaughlin

Art

AS ARCHITECTURE. Usually labels affixed to exceptional homes are little more than jargon, but nothing could better characterize 1525 Blue Jay Way. From every perspective, each space is a perfectly framed tableau of shapes, lines, textures and color. Each also captures an everchanging panorama of clouds, sky and multi-million dollar views of downtown Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific. Not only does this property exemplify “art as architecture,” it could just as easily be dubbed “art you can enjoy,” since it invites you to sit down, tune in to the peaceful vibe and enjoy the surroundings. Equally rare is the setting. The famous bird streets in the Hollywood Hills are one of LA’s prime addresses and the magnificent views make Blue Jay Way even more desirable, which explains why so many A-list stars claim this address. The street is also legendary because George Harrison of the Beatles wrote a song about it that was included in the Magical Mystery Tour album.

Warm and Toasty The architecture turns every perspective of this home into an artful tableau. Here, a view of the master suite from the patio unfolds as an overlay of warm wood tones and textures merge indoor and outdoor spaces.

With a sturdy, unassuming façade on the streetside, this home assures privacy while delivering a carefree lifestyle with two master suites (one with a separate entrance) and two or three other en-suite bedrooms. Along with the bedrooms, each bath has a unique design aesthetic. Almost every facet of this home, including the kitchen, is a work of art in its own way. Creating extensive outdoor living spaces that meld with interiors and take advantage of the views was important for owner Mike Dobson. Architects Rudy Alegre and Dan Larkin delivered with patios and terraces hugging each of the building’s four levels as well as a rooftop terrace.

Fitting In Unlike many open designs, this kitchen blends perfectly into the overall aesthetic of the home. Valcucine cabinets and energyefficient appliances combine beauty and energy efficiency, giving the space an almost sculptural feeling.

With such a magnificent setting, Dennis says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it only made sense to pay homage to the nature surrounding this home and approach it with an eco-friendly arsenal of design strategies and materials.â&#x20AC;? Dennis lessened the impact of the floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around much of the home with LOW e3 glass and integrated automation that lowers sunscreen shades when the sun is strongest, turns off lights in vacant rooms, kills electricity when electronics are in sleep mode and regulates irrigation. Massive stone floors act as a heat sink during the day, releasing warmth in the cool of the evening. Most of the furnishings are made of organic materials as well as reclaimed wood from dismantled structures. Jade Mills is listing the home for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Beverly Hills for $13.9 million. What makes it so exceptional, according to Mills, is the combination of such exceptional features in such a stellar location. Opportunities like this are rare in LA, she says.

Embracing the Seasons This Minnesota home celebrates the seasons — even the state’s notoriously harsh winters.

By Roger Grody IN MINNESOTA, SUCCESSFUL DESIGN INVOLVES integrating a serene, lake-speckled countryside while protecting residents from severe winter conditions. A distinctive estate in Stillwater has achieved that delicate balance. Located on the northeast edge of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Stillwater hugs the scenic St. Croix River that forms the border with Wisconsin. Statehood was conceived here at a territorial convention in 1848, and Stillwater remains a testament to the charms of small-town Minnesota. The home at 12137 Quail Avenue North was constructed in 2008 on 3.5 wooded acres and awaits its first owners after serving as

a model at the exclusive Hunters Ridge development. Offered at $1.975 million, the four-bedroom, five-bath house complements, rather than conquers, Minnesota’s seductive but unforgiving environment. “We wanted to connect the house to the land,” says Steve May, president of Classic Home Design, the builder that showcased the property in “Midwest Home” magazine’s 2008 Luxury Home Tour. The site, buffered by 150-year-old oak and cedar trees, captures views 20 miles down the St. Croix Valley. “It has a very open, flowing floor plan filled with stone, wood and metal finishes,” reports May. “The house has all the comforts to get you through our long winters,

but is not the least bit ostentatious,” he says. In fact, considering its 6,672 square feet of living space, the home conveys unexpected warmth and intimacy. “With its generous windows and natural materials, it’s a house that truly embraces the seasons,” states listing agent Terri Brine of Coldwell Banker Burnet, who adds, “The views are spectacular in both summer and winter.” The stately façade, suggesting a Prairie School influence, is clad in a taupe-hued Loon Lake stone, one of the ways May achieved a connection to the land. He brought the stone inside to cover a wall in the great room, a soaring space where floor-to-ceiling windows frame valley vistas. This room is bordered by a pair of graceful columns handcrafted by noted Minnesota sculptor Jeff Kreitz. These unique expressions of polished, brushed aluminum complement the artist’s Picasso-inspired abstract sculpture mounted above the prominent fireplace. “Creating the delicate curves in these decorative columns was quite labor-intensive,” reports Kreitz, whose custom-designed metalwork is found throughout the house. The adjoining kitchen fea-

tures knotty alder wood cabinetry and exotic Australian spotted gum wood flooring, but all eyes are drawn to luxurious slabs of “Golden Lightning” granite, a rare green-tinted stone layered over the backsplash, countertops and formidable island. Another room that reflects the complex relationship between indoors and out is the clubby office, whose walls and ceiling are clad in richly glazed, distressed knotty alder. Bolivian rosewood lies underfoot and a touch of stained glass adds color to generously proportioned windows. “The home’s extensive use of stone, wood and metal provides a rather masculine design, but the inclusion of softer textures [e.g. leather panels inlaid into the office walls, a silk-wrapped Italian chandelier in the great room] appeals to women as well,” notes May. The slightly more feminine master suite includes a bath featuring hand-blown glass lighting and a veritable quarry of opulent marble. On the lower level (accessed by a stunning wood-and-slate staircase) is an elaborate media room, a welcome indulgence on frigid nights. Warmed by a stone fireplace, it features a 5-by-8-foot screen while giant handcrafted metal film reels, under-lit for true Hollywood effect, are mounted on the ceiling. The centerpiece of the downstairs entertainment center is a spectacular hexagonal bar sheathed in “Cosmos” granite, yet another attempt by May to introduce a diversity of intriguing materials. Nearby, a wall of water — a tribute to Minnesota’s great outdoors — cascades over the same exquisite stone. Contact Terri Brine, Coldwell Banker Burnet, 651.430.7754 tbrine@cbburnet.com

Time Travel An historic manor is brought into the 21st century. By Jennifer Martin

WHEN KAREN HUBBLE BISBEE AND HER HUSBAND Stephen purchased their Baltimore manor, Overleigh, they were awed by its many charming features dating from its construction in the 1880s: 22-inchthick granite walls. A well house in the garden. A butler’s pantry and staircase built for the household servants. Hubble Bisbee, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Hubble Bisbee Group, appreciates the finer details of a historic home. So she and her husband rolled up their sleeves and restored hundreds of fixtures and finishings. They added new weights and copper chains to the historic windows, repolished every brass door hinge and window lock, had the wainscoting and crown molding refinished and placed Victorian transoms over every doorway. But they didn’t stop there. “This home was so beautiful and has been preserved very carefully,” Hubble Bisbee said. “But there were some aspects of it that were outdated. We replaced the load-bearing kitchen walls with a steel frame, but then we installed a coffered ceiling to mask the steel. We installed heart pine kitchen flooring from timbers that had been submerged in the Mississippi River for 100 years. We also opened up the kitchen

from several small rooms into one large room. The result was a spacious, warm, welcoming room where everyone feels comfortable to eat or have a cozy chat.” The home was originally owned by William Kennedy Cromwell, a prominent local businessman. “On this street, there was a famous hotel and a lake, and this area became an upscale summer destination before the turn of the century,” Hubble Bisbee said. “So the house started out as a summer residence for Mr. Cromwell and his family. But in 1922, they built a major addition to it, and it became a year-round residence.” Besides the Cromwells, only one local family owned the house before Hubble Bisbee and her husband purchased it in 2004. They have carefully preserved historic features, such as a stone-walled English border garden, while also upgrading the house to include state-of-the-art technology, including an integrated whole-home sound and media system. Spanning six bedrooms, six bathrooms, two half-baths and four stories, the house offers spacious areas for living, dining and entertaining. The exterior is accented with ﬂagstone walkways, covered

porches and porte-cocheres, Tuscan columns and gated staircases. The professionally maintained landscaping is a kaleidoscope of specimen trees, including boxwood, yew, dogwood, Japanese maple and magnolia, as well as perennial gardens and sweeping lawns. Hubble Bisbee’s daughter, now a freshman in college, joined a long roster of Baltimore-area girls who attended The Bryn Mawr School, a private college preparatory institution. Her daughter had an upstairs suite of ﬁve rooms with an independent sound and television system. “It was a favorite place for sleepovers and class parties,” Hubble Bisbee said. “This house has been ﬁlled with kids and dogs over the years.” With their daughter away at school, she and her husband have decided to move on to the next adventure. “We hope the next family who gets this house has as wonderful an experience in it as we have,” Hubble Bisbee said.

Coming Home Named for an area of safe harbor in the Far East, Java Head sits atop Miami-Dade County.

By Ken Weingartner

WHEN SALLYE JUDE FIRST SAW JAVA HEAD, she was awed by its size. Over the next 45 years, she and her husband, Dr. James Jude, raised seven children in the historic Coral Gables estate. Awe was replaced by the warmth of home. “We’ve really enjoyed this house,” says Mrs. Jude. “The first time I saw the house, I was awed; that’s the right word. On the first look, it doesn’t seem like an intimate space at all. But once you spend time here, the smaller and more intimate it becomes. It has such wonderful, unique features and is very, very special.”

20 H O M E S & E S TAT E S

The Judes are the second owners of Java Head. The 22-room estate was built in 1936 for food-and-drink writer Charles Baker Jr. and his wife, Pauline. Designed by architect James Smith to convey a sense of adventure, it was constructed on the highest elevation of land (22 feet above sea level) in Miami-Dade County. The home’s name comes from the western end of the island of Java in Indonesia. The Bakers, who owned a 72-foot ketch called Mata Hari, sailed around the world and were fond of the Far East. “Java Head was a spot that sailors, when they reached that point, felt as though they had traveled the treacherous waters and were in safe harbor. The Bakers liked that,” says Mrs. Jude. “It’s become a symbol of safety and coming home.” The estate, which is listed by Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg and colisted by Felise Eber, a member of The Jills’ team, for $13.9 million, sits on nearly 4 acres and features 12,000 square feet of space, incorporating characteristics of Art Moderne and early Art Deco design. There are seven bedrooms, including a master bedroom with his-and-her baths, five and one-half bathrooms, a living room with a 23-foot-high cathedral ceiling, a library, study and an oak-railed grand staircase. The house also includes a basement, which is a rarity in South Florida. “Smith was very creative in some of the things he did,” says Mrs. Jude. “He used polished dyed keystone for the floors and bathroom walls. The molding and woodwork trim are very special. We have a lot more wood than many houses in South Florida. The house is really built so it takes advantage of the southeast winds that prevail here.”

Baker wrote several books about food and travel and also penned food-and-drink columns for magazines including Town and Country, Esquire and Gourmet. It is no surprise then that the dining room is Java Head’s most notable area. The room features a mural inspired by the adventure novel “Anthony Adverse,” written by Baker’s friend Hervey Allen, who was a professor at the University of Miami. The book later was turned into a multiple Oscar-winning film starring Fredric March and Olivia de Havilland. “The one room that people ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over is our dining room,” says Mrs. Jude. “It has the feeling of an old sailing ship and the mural has stood up extremely well over time.

Q: When should a home be staged? A: The first rule of staging is to “de-clutter” and “depersonalize” a home, so if it’s cluttered (including too much furniture in a room) and showcases personal photos andmemorabilia, it’s time to stage. Other concerns include heavy window treatments that block natural sunlight, wall-to-wall carpeting covering potentially beautiful wood floors, and dated decorative accessories that add age to a home. Vacant homes should always be staged to give buyers a vision of its potential. A home’s curb appeal is also essential and should be staged to make that critical first impression. Q: When should a home be redesigned? A: Homeowners often have beautiful things, but they aren’t sure how to place it to make an impression. A simple redesign can give your home a “makeover” that puts the spotlight on your home’s hidden treasures.

Q: Do I need to stage/redesign every room? A: Not at all, however, your priorities should be an inviting curb appeal, a warm and inviting entry foyer, a living room that makes a statement, a family room wrapped in comfort and togetherness, a retreat-like master suite and an appetizing kitchen. Q: What will I get from a professional stager/designer that I can’t learn on my own? A: Designing and staging looks easy on TV, but it is a creative talent that grows with training, experience and natural instinct. Professionals offer conceptual knowledge to bring your vision to fruition or create a new one. They know where to shop, will shop on your behalf, and have established working relationships with other service providers to complete the job on time and on budget.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

THE NORTH SHORE OF MASSACHUSETTS The North Shore of Massachusetts, the coastal region north of Boston, is often referred to as the “Gold Coast” of the Bay State because of its many large estates that occupy the rocky shore. The North Shore communities have varied and rich histories. Gloucester was America’s first fishing community; Salem was the location of the infamous Witch Trials and of the largest centers of shipping in early America; Beverly and Marblehead often dispute over which town was the birthplace of the American Navy; and Newburyport, a beautiful 18th-century town, was famous for producing clipper ships and generating great wealth. Most of the 19th-century summer estates, built by wealthy Bostonians, are now home to year-round residents, and the towns that make up the area are among the most exclusive in the state. The many fine beaches and several excellent natural harbors only add allure to this enticing region. For more information about homes that may fit your lifestyle, please contact Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage at 800.339.6533.

A native of Marblehead, Massachusetts, veteran Coldwell Banker agent Bill Willis specializes in the luxury market of this historic North Shore community. Located approximately 15 miles north of Boston, this seaside town is coveted by commuters passionate about a coastal lifestyle. “I’ve had buyers walk right past the house to make sure the dock met their needs,” says Willis, who indicates an investment of about $3 million is required for a waterfront property. Vacation homes in Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard are hardly necessary for year-round residents of the North Shore, who are also relatively close to Vermont ski resorts in the winter. With a background in construction and development, Willis has an in-depth knowledge of the product, creating a distinct advantage for his clients. “My approach is to connect on a personal level, understanding my clients and interpreting their needs,” he says. “A thorough knowledge of the marketplace gives you the ability to be proactive on a buyer’s behalf,” adds this local expert. Although the Marblehead/North Shore luxury market was soft in 2009, Willis reports that confidence is building and he is optimistic that conditions will return to a more natural progression. “So far this year, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of activity,” he reports. Willis advises, however, that this is still the best time in 15 years to be a buyer. Willis and his wife, also a Marblehead native, have three children. He is an avid skier and tennis player, and three generations of the Willis family are actively involved in a food bank for the needy. — Bill Willis is with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

FEATURED PROPERTIES OHIO & MINNESOTA MASON, OHIO — Welcome to the Chateau Tourelle, a custom Spencer Hill Estate Home creation, a 10-time-award-winning Homearama 2008 home. Stunning classical architecture, custom features and unrivaled quality come together in this 9,200square-foot ranch masterpiece. Inlaid marble and Brazilian cherry ﬂooring grace the palatial estate. Located in prestigious Long Cove, it is convenient to I-71, ﬁne dining and metropolitan-style shopping. More than half an acre of lush landscaping is decorated with an elegant water feature and a striking veranda. For more on this $2.095 million listing, contact Donna Steutermann of Coldwell Banker West Shell at 508.740.9256. NORTH OAKS, MINN. — One of Minnesota’s most unique houses is up for sale, and it has some roots that would make most history buffs sit up and take notice. The $3.8 million, 7,550-square-foot home sits on 5 acres with more than 800 feet of shoreline on Pleasant Lake in North Oaks. It was built in 1929 by Louis Hill, son of the wellknown James J. Hill, the “Empire Builder” and railroad tycoon of the Great Northern Railway. Known as “Cottage on the Hill,” the home was built to replicate a Swiss chalet. The original structure burned down and was rebuilt in 1930. For more on this $3.795 million listing, contact Pat McGrath of Coldwell Banker Burnet at 651.653.2449.

SPOTLIGHT: WILMETTE, ILLINOIS An ambitious undertaking to revitalize the landmark Mallinckrodt in the Park has launched in Wilmette, with local investors announcing a major effort to sell 32 condominium units in the historic building. The ﬁve-story, 180,000MALLINCKRODT square-foot Italian Renaissance structure has been a prominent landmark in Wilmette since 1918. In 2005, work began to convert the building; it was initially built as a convent and a college. Some features include: ● The former chapel has been converted into two penthouse units, each with two levels, 30-foot ceilings and cathedral-style arched windows. ● All units feature a minimum of 9-foot ceilings with hardwood ﬂoors in the foyer, living room, dining room and kitchen. ● Custom wood cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops. ● A two-story lobby with concierge service. ● An adjacent 14-acre park. ● The Wilmette Senior Center located at the South end of the building, which offers programs run by the Village of Wilmette Park District.

“The Mallinckrodt is a terrific show piece for Wilmette that has great historic significance and also provides a unique and exceptionally beautiful living environment,” said David Rosen, managing director of Long Grove Capital. “We are providing active seniors with the best of both worlds — an opportunity to be close to their families while experiencing the luxury of high-end amenities without the hassle.” Reuben Warshawsky, president of Chord Realty Group, and Rosen are partnering with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage to sell the remaining units with prices ranging from $235,000 for a one-bedroom unit to $750,000 for a three-bedroom penthouse with cathedral ceilings. The units range from 1,000 square feet to 3,000 square feet. “These prices are 35 percent to 45 percent below where prices were a few years ago,” said Warshawsky, “and our target customer understands that this is an historic opportunity to take advantage of such great values.” A team of Coldwell Banker Realtors, led by Ted Pickus from the Coldwell Banker Highland Park office, is marketing the property through its own Web site (www.mallinpark.com), Internet exposure with enhanced online listings, print media advertising and reaching out to the company’s 3,800 agents.

Minnesota Mover Coldwell Banker Burnet’s Barry Berg is bullish about the Twin Cities, where the harsh climate does not hamper a thriving economy or vibrant arts community. “People here embrace the theater of the seasons,” explains Minnesota’s top-selling Realtor. Berg returned to his childhood home of Minneapolis after earning degrees at Princeton and Harvard Business School. Too entrepreneurial for the corporate culture, he embarked on his real estate career in 1981, when interest rates peaked at 18 percent. Berg loves working with people, even during the emotional experience of buying or selling a luxury residence. “I provide the best quality counsel and service to my clients…pushing the frontiers of professionalism in the industry,” says Berg of his approach to customer service. “I’m in the business of providing trust relationships,” he adds. With its diverse economic base, the Twin Cities is not a boom-and-bust market, and luxury home values have suffered much less than in many major metropolitan areas. Nonetheless, 2010 is an excellent entry point, according to Berg, who insists that buyers planning on staying in their homes for five or more years can be assured of a good investment. For $2 million, an exceptional property with 6,500-7,000 square feet of custom living space can be acquired. Berg is proud of the Twin Cities’ well-established traditions of philanthropy, and is very much a part of that spirit. He is extremely active in the local arts community, dedicating his energies to Minneapolis’ acclaimed MacPhail Center for Music and other Twin Cities institutions. Although he specializes in luxury properties, Berg supports non-profit housing programs benefiting low-income households. E-Mail: bberg@cbburnet.com

W ESTERN R EGION

SAN FRANCISCO A WORLD-RENOWNED CITY: COSMOPOLITAN FLAIR AND DIVERSE AMENITIES SAN FRANCISCO has long been known as one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the world. Each year, several million visitors travel from all over the world to take in all that the City by the Bay has to offer. Songs have been written about it and movements have been born in it. From the bustling cable cars to the steaming clam chowder on Fisherman’s Wharf, one thing can always be said about San Francisco – it’s truly a city with something for everyone. What started out as a fishing village of 1,000 grew to a bustling city during the California Gold Rush and now has a population of approximately 800,000. While it’s not the largest city in terms of size and population, San Francisco is filled with so many wonderful attractions, restaurants and hotels that it would take a lifetime to explore everything it has to offer.

JUST THE FACTS… Interesting things you may not know about San Francisco: ➢

The city is built on 43 hills

➢

Denim jeans were invented here for gold miners who were in need of a pair of comfortable, durable pants

➢

San Francisco is made up of over 20 neighborhoods in approximately 46 square miles, each with its own unique footprint

➢

America’s first Irish coffee was created at the Buena Vista Restaurant, which serves about 2,000 of them daily

➢

It takes so long to touch up the paint on the Golden Gate Bridge that by the time the painters have gone from one end to the other they have to start all over again

➢

Lombard Street, famously known as the “crookedest street in the world,” is in fact not the crookedest street that can be found in San Francisco. Vermont Avenue at 20th Street is.

The Western Region includes Colorado, Northern California and Utah.

ENCOUNTERS David Bellings... A top San Francisco agent and associate broker, David has been working with upscale buyers and sellers since 1986.

Q: Of all the homes you have either helped list or purchase, what are some of the most unique features you have seen? A: Aside from some incredible world-class views, I recently represented the seller of a home on the cliffs in Sea Cliff, which had an indoor swimming pool that had been used for filming in a recent movie shoot in the city. However, the truly unique features over the years have not been the real estate, but the people who I am fortunate to have had as clients or met as buyers. I have represented writers, rock stars, Olympic athletes, movie moguls, and prominent CEOs, to name a few. Even the lesser well-known buyers and sellers come from a wide variety of businesses and backgrounds, and that usually differentiates one transaction from the other. As a result, I have made some very dear friends over the years, which is a wonderful byproduct of my business. Q: How has your background in law helped you in your real estate career and with selling homes? A: Having practiced as a real estate and tax lawyer when first starting out in San Francisco, and also being a CPA, has been invaluable over the years. It has helped me provide a level of service truly unsurpassed in the real estate industry. There is a comfort level that my clients have when working with me given my attention to detail, negotiation skills and my knowledge of law and accounting. I cannot think of better training to handle what is very often times the largest investment my clients will make. Q: What trends are you seeing in the San Francisco real estate market right now? A: Families are expanding and, as a result, need more space. These trade-up buyers are taking advantage of being able to purchase a home that may have been out of their reach previously. Additionally, we have been seeing an increase in foreign buyers as San Francisco is still the gold standard throughout the world for real estate. Ultimately, buying in San Francisco is one of the safest investments you can make to secure appreciation in the future. Q: What is your most memorable transaction and why? A: The most memorable transaction was the one where I met my wife during a showing — she was the listing agent. When asked about the home, my client responded by saying he liked the home but, more importantly, he strongly advised me to ask the listing agent out for a date. I did and the rest is history. Will never forget that one. www.CaliforniaMoves.com

THE PREVIEWS PERSPECTIVE OF THE

S OUTHWESTERN R EGION

SITE SEEING Beverly Hills luxury real estate agents Sally Forster Jones and Joyce Rey share two eye-inspiring listings to watch this spring. Rocky Oaks Estate, Sally Forster Jones’ $65 million hilltop estate, offers 360-degree panoramas of the wineryPanoramic views and Old World architecture set rich Malibu Canyon, Conejo Valley, San Rocky Oaks Estate apart. Fernando Valley, and Paciﬁc Ocean. The 37-acre parcel encompasses a Tuscanstyle residence complete with a viewing tower, an award-winning vineyard, fruit orchards, additional pads for helicopter landing site, a guesthouse and guard gate. Joyce Rey calls the views at the 123Breathtaking views inspire at Hummingbird acre “Hummingbird Nest Ranch” in Simi Nest Ranch, listed for $75 million. Valley “breathtaking” and “beyond compare.” One of the ﬁnest equestrian compounds in Southern California, the $75 million estate includes a 17,000-square-foot Mission-style residence, six large detached guesthouses, 10 separate staff houses and professional equestrian facilities spanning more than 30,000 square feet.

ROOMS WITH A VIEW When it comes to real estate, the mantra has always been “location, location, location.” But the view — whether it’s panoramic, ocean, mountain, valley or desert — has the power to elevate a luxury property from grand to grandest. Because of Santa Barbara County’s dynamic topography, Randy Solakian of Coldwell Banker Previews International® has represented some of the most spectacular view estates and ranches in Montecito, Santa Barbara and Hope Ranch. “The view is an important amenity, but the value of a property is still primarily based on location,” explains Solakian, whose real estate portfolio spans from the mountains to the ocean and includes 360-degree panoramas. “That being said, the quality of the view, along with location, size, architecture, topography, privacy, landscape and additional amenities such as a pool, tennis court or guesthouse are paramount in determining value. Most of my clients consider the amenity list, and, more importantly, the manner in which the amenities combine to create an overall ambiance. People might call it the ‘million-dollar view,’ but

to say that a view adds an actual $1 million — or in some cases several million — to the value of a property is difﬁcult to say without putting all of the estate’s elements into proper context.” From the vantage point of Coldwell Banker Previews International®’s Joy Draper in La Jolla, the combination of location plus ocean view will always be desirable — yet not all view properties are valued equally. “There is a large differential in the price of view properties in La Jolla,” notes Draper. “The crème de la crème homes will be oceanfront, preferably on ‘the street of dreams,’ which is Camino De La Costa. There is no formula in pricing these homes. For example, on the ocean side of Camino de la Costa, there have been sales anywhere from $8 million to $20 million in the past two years.” According to Draper and Solakian, view properties will always be in high demand in Southern California. Foreign buyers and out-oftowners put an especially high premium on vistas. “Their ﬁrst priority is usually always a home with a view,” says Draper.

The Southwestern Region includes Arizona and Southern California.

ENCOUNTERS Rod Daley... of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Newport Beach. Q: When it comes to view properties, what are the elements that usually “sell” a client on a home? A: “White-water views and sand access are two major ingredients for oceanfront homes. There is a dynamic seasonality to an ocean-view property, which adds to its desirability. It’s exciting to watch the water breaking on the beach and rocks, or witness the ever-changing sky in a winter storm right from your home.” Q: The coastal communities of Newport Beach, Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove are known for their ocean-view properties. What is the biggest difference between them? A: “It really comes down to the community. In Irvine Cove and Emerald Bay, for example, you have a private beach environment, sand access, the security of guarded gates, and a community infrastructure such as tennis courts, rec centers and swimming complexes that make it enjoyable for homeowners. There is a difference in value structure in terms of exclusivity and community amenities.” Q: In general, what is the difference between selling an oceanfront home compared to an ocean-view home in your market? A: “The primary difference is the scarcity of oceanfront homes. If we were flying in an airplane along the coast in North Orange County, we would find that there are only about 100 oceanfront homes between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. However, there are probably thousands of homes along the hillsides with ocean views.” Q: What is the best example of an Orange County view property you currently have listed? A: “A contemporary home at Abalone Point in Irvine Cove, which is currently listed at $31.5 million. It’s a gorgeous home with absolutely spectacular views of the white water and Catalina sunsets.” Q: Outdoor entertaining is a major part of the Orange County lifestyle. Where does the view property fit into that picture? A: “Major outdoor entertaining in coastal Orange County is usually a shared experience in a community enclave since our lots are typically smaller. If there is outdoor entertaining in the home, it is scaled down. More intimate outdoor dinner parties take place on view decks or courtyards — perfect for taking advantage of the beautiful sunsets and ocean breezes.” Q: How has selling view properties in Orange County changed in the last 2 years? A: “It hasn’t really changed. Even though real estate market values may fluctuate, view properties will always be unique and desirable.”
