Yesterday I shot a wonderful craftsman in Willow Glen. It’s new construction with a fabulous floor plan. The living room and formal dining are in the front of the house. The kitchen and family are near the backyard.


I love that the kitchen is open to the large family room—perfect for keeping an eye on little ones when cooking dinner and a way to be in the center of the action with the teenagers.

I know staging doesn’t come with the home—but the stagers did a great job. The colors were fresh and fun! I’m betting this home won’t be on the market long. You can find the whole virtual tour here.
Bedrooms: 4
Baths: 4
Asking: $1,099,999


Boasting 5880 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths. Plus you get use of the Ritz Carlton Pool! Sign me up—well first I probably need to fall into a big cash flow—but then you know skiing all day and fabulous times sitting around the fire with friends and some good wine.
This 5 bedroom 4 bath home is stunning—AND I mean stunning! This home has an elegant rustic exterior with the large field stone at the footing. The hand-carved wood floors offer tremendous warmth and I love how they feel under foot.
The bathrooms all have fab finishes as well as the kitchen.
There wasn’t any skimping in the guest house either. They used the same finishes keeping with that rustic elegance. Trust me any guest staying here might stay a while—a long while.
But—the most spectacular feature is the backyard—wonderful decks overlooking an amazing view plus a pool and a good-sized lawn area.





Charm, Charm, Charm—I don’t know what else I can say. This 2 bedroom home in the Green Gable’s neighborhood of Palo Alto is full of charm. The front porch is covered and has an adorable little blue gate. The generous family room has french doors that open to the living room. It also has a wood stove in the family room contributing to even more charm. In the backyard you will find large mature trees. Truly a must see. Here is the 




This California style ranch is in a great neighborhood. Perfect for a young family—since it is situated right across from a wonderful park. It has 3 bedrooms and one bath. The hardwood floors and the red brick fireplace bring so much warmth to the generous living room. The large picture window has a superb view of the park. The backyard is very spacious and has a concrete path circling the yard. I wish I had one of those when my kids were toddlers riding their little tyke bikes! 


This home has a small vineyard, wine cellar, guest house and multiple verandas. And, let’s not forget the 12 car garage. And, no that’s not a typo. Calling all car collectors this one’s for you! The garage is completely finished with a black and white checkerboard floor.

There is nothing like a good view in Silicon Valley—from the city lights of downtown San Jose to the canopies of the Shoreline ampitheater—and this place has got it all. I had the pleasure of shooting during the day and returning at dusk for the spectacular city light show. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with lots of extras including top of the line appliances. This is a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home that has lots of extras, including a sauna and wine storage. The backyard is up against a large open space where the wildlife is abundant. So, I can imagine sitting on the back deck enjoying the meandering deer, heading to the sauna and then over to the wine storage to pick out something to sip while watching the magnificent view. This really is a must see…. Check out the virtual tour
