Beautiful day in the neighborhood

Well, not exactly my neighborhood, but nearby. While this gorgeous home is five blocks away from our house, it is officially in the exclusive Westover Hills neighborhood. Driving across the imaginary boundary from our neighborhood to theirs means leaving behind $300-500K homes and entering into the world of multi-million dollar real estate.

It was built in 1959 and has 4740 square feet, including 3 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths. It was last listed at $1,799,500 and has a current estimated value of $2,136,494. The home features travertine floors throughout, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a lush multi-tiered backyard. The master bedroom has its own den, and the chef's kitchen has Carrera countertops and top of the line appliances.

  1. Wow! There are aspects I'd definitely change, but I love it nonetheless. Magnificent! (I'm living on your side of the railway tracks so a house like this will too always be in my dreams!) Thanks for sharing this. So gorgeous.

    1. Even in that price range, I'd probably find things I'd want to tweak too...but I doubt I'll ever get to find out firsthand. :)

  2. Gorgeous dream house! (minus the velvet furniture and few other pieces). Thanks for the tour. At least you get to enjoy driving the neighborhood Dana. :)

    1. I'm not a big fan of velvet either...or any other heavy element in an otherwise airy space. I'm often unsure whether some professional decorators don't understand mid-century design or if they get too caught up in the juxtaposition of different styles and periods and the attempt to create "irony."

  3. I can only imagine what it would be like to live in such a beautiful house.

    1. I hear you, Bill. It will remain a figment of my imagination too. :)

  4. Hmmm I would have thought at least a four bedroom house, if not five.

    1. What they lack in bedrooms, they make up in bathrooms, I guess.
