One of the most elegant home tours is right around the corner and we’re giving away a pair of tickets to the lucky winner! The Summit League is presenting its Homes for the Holidays tour on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 3 and 4th.

Three beautiful Saratoga homes will be featured this year, each decorated in full holiday regalia by local designers and florists.

The first is a blend of traditional and California contemporary in one of Saratoga’s oldest neighborhoods on Farwell Avenue.  It was built in 1959 as a traditional east coast Williamsburg-style house and in 1999 received a total reconstruction and expansion.

The second house is a contemporary Tuscan home built in 2002 with a classic red-tiled roof, arched windows and warm interiors. The family built the house around outdoor entertaining. The resort-inspired grounds include a mosaic-tiled pool, terraces with wisteria-covered pergolas, fireplaces and a full kitchen with a pizza oven.

The third house is a French Chateau built atop a Saratoga foothill. The entry hall features a pier mirror that the family brought around the Horn in the late 1800s. A “tree house” office was added during the most recent renovation and the dining room decor evokes the feeling of a french garden. The renovated kitchen is state-of-the-art.
