Unique architectural elements stir the creative, and sometimes nostalgic, places of our brains.

Builder: Reliance Construction | Designers: Kay Beason, Betty Blea Specs: 2,360 SQ FT | 3 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, oversized garage Details: An adobe courtyard with custom iron entry gate leads to the handcarved front door of this North Valley home.
