rom the exterior, the Ravendale has the appearance of a rambling ranchstyle home. But a quick glance at the floor plan reveals that it’s actually three linked hexagons, two of them with daylight basements below. This plan is designed for construction on a hill that slopes down at the rear. To enter, you step through French doors into a sky-lit, vaulted entry opposite another set of French doors that open onto the raised deck spanning the rear. This combination of doors and skylights creates an exceptionally bright space. One large gathering space dominates the hexagon to the right. The ceiling there is vaulted, with each of the six pieshaped segments rising to a central apex. The living room area has a gas fireplace, and its French doors provide another deck access. The dining area fills the other side of the room, while the kitchen juts out slightly between, offering a minimal sense of separation. The long eating bar that bounds the kitchen and dining area has a counter on the other side of it, along with cabinets above and below. No area of the kitchen is cut off from interactions with the great room.
ce dams form when snow melts on the roof, causing water to run down and refreeze or “dam” at the roof’s edge, where temperatures are much lower. As more snow melts, the water is blocked by the ice dam and, with no place else to go, it backs up under the shingles and into the home, causing damage. Here are some tips to prevent ice dams: • Keep the attic well ventilated to outside air. • Make sure the attic floor has adequate insulation to minimize the amount of heat escaping into the attic from the house. (An added benefit is lower heating costs.) • Removing heavy accumulations of snow can prevent ice dams. If snow must be removed, you may want to contact a qualified professional to avoid the risk of injury. While it’s not an expense covered by insurance, letting a professional do the work is the safest route.

ust a few months after the birth of their first child, Jaime and Kyle bought their dream house in their dream neighborhood. Settling into family life as new parents was great, but soon Jaime had to get back to work. The problem was that she works from home, and her office was on the third floor in a huge space that doubled as a gym and display area for the memorabilia from Kyle’s days as a professional rugby player. The open-concept room had tons of potential, but wasn’t working on any level. Jaime wanted a workspace that was comfortable and motivating; Kyle wanted a masculine workout area; and they both wanted to incorporate a lounge space for the whole family. So I grabbed my team and prepared
to get this space back in the game — stylishly and beautifully. I started by choosing a color palette. I wanted to keep a masculine vibe but add feminine touches. The plywood floor had a beautiful butterscotch shade, so I used that as my jumping-off point and rounded out my palette with deep browns, cool creams and inky charcoals. I painted all of the walls in a light-straw shade except a feature wall that I did up in a dramatic blue-black. I then mapped out the room into three areas — an office, a lounge and a gym. I created the office area by the window, so Jaime could have a nice view. On the window, I put up simple linen drapes with a striped band and textured woven blinds for light diffusion. I kept Jaime’s father’s old banker desk, but repainted it and flanked it with mirror-backed bookcases in a dark-espresso finish. I gave Jaime a comfortable plush brown work chair, put an upholstered, button-detailed pin board above the desk and added a family portrait gallery. Across from the office area, at the dark feature wall, I started organizing

Tax credit stimulates buying Return to a stable housing market expected in the summer of 2010 NAR
E
xisting-home sales rose again in November and December. Current sales remain at the highest level since February 2007 when they hit 6.55 million. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the rise was expected. “This clearly is a rush of firsttime buyers not wanting to miss out on the tax credit, but there are many more potential buyers who can enter the market in the months ahead,” he said. “We expect a temporary sales drop while buying activity ramps up for another surge in the spring when buyers take advantage of the expanded tax credit, which hopefully will take us into a self-sustaining market in the second half of 2010. In all, 4.4 million households are expected to claim the tax credit before it expires and balance should be restored
to the housing sector with inventories continuing to decline.” An NAR practitioner survey showed first-time buyers purchased 51 percent of homes in November, compared with an upwardly revised 50 percent of transactions in October. NAR President Vicki Cox Golder said conditions are optimal for buyers in the current market. “Inventories have steadily declined and are closer to balanced levels, which indicate home prices in many areas are either stabilizing or could soon stabilize and return to normal appreciation patterns,” she said. “This means buyers still have good choices but are purchasing near the bottom of the price cycle with historically low mortgage interest rates. Throw a tax credit on top and it really doesn’t get any better for buyers with secure jobs and longterm ownership plans.” Raw unsold inventory figures are 15.5 percent below a year ago. The last time there was a lower supply of homes on the market was April 2006 when it was at a 6.1-month supply. “Nearly all markets experi-
enced a solid sales gain from one year ago,” Yun said. The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $172,600. Singlefamily home sales jumped 8.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.77 million in November. Existing condominium and co-op sales in November were unchanged from a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 770,000 in October, but are 60.1 percent above the 481,000-unit pace a year ago. The median existing condo price was $178,000 in November, which is 3.1 percent below November 2008. Existing-home sales in the West increased 10.6 percent to an annual rate of 1.46 million in November and are 28.1 percent above November 2008. The median price in the West was $231,100, which is 4.1 percent below a year ago. The National Association of Realtors, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.
