Joshua Tree or Palm Springs? This $499K Midcentury Sits Smack in the Middle
"Nestled atop 5 acres on a quiet desert mountainside, this charming pink homestead boasts panoramic views of Morongo Valley and beyond. There's simply nothing like golden hour in one of the soaking tubs or on the patio, where you can catch a glimpse of both San Gorgonio and San Jacinto in the distance. For the last year, this private oasis has been a 4.9-star Airbnb with dozens of glowing reviews about its 'secluded' feel at an elevation that offers spectacular opportunities for sunset drinks and stargazing - plus sprawling acreage blanketed in desert flora and fauna. Located at the perfect midway point between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, The Desert Lookout features an expansive living and dining room with vaulted ceilings and picture windows that perfectly frame the stunning views."

Listed at $1.6M, This Portland Midcentury Was Ahead of Its Time
"This striking midcentury home is located in a secluded pocket of NW Portland’s Skyline neighborhood, which also boasts a collection of other significant architectural gems. Originally a ‘Live Better Electrically—Gold Medallion Home,’ the dwelling was thoughtfully reenvisioned in 2013 by its owners, a pair of creative directors obsessed with design and modern architecture, and it shows. The renovation of this primarily single-level home resulted in an added family room on the lower level, three full–en suite bedrooms, five baths, three outdoor living/entertainment areas, and inclusion into the 2015 Portland Modern Homes Tour."
In Upstate New York, a Victorian House With a Wild Side Asks $750K
"On Main Street in the charming village of Cold Spring sits this bright and cheerful Victorian. With soaring ceilings and ample natural light, this classic home has been reimagined by the current owners to breathe new life into a traditional style. Original details like never-painted trim work, handblown glass windows and solid oak flooring are playfully paired with bright colors, pop art and textural handmade glass tiles. Downstairs, the open concept is surprising for a house of its age, and each room flows gracefully into the next through large openings trimmed with handsome woodwork. A turned mahogany staircase leads you upstairs, where the classic layout offers three large bedrooms and a full bath with storage throughout."
Listed at $3M, This Usonian-Style Lloyd Wright Home Is a Rare Find
"Discover this work of art designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., AIA. Nestled in the San Gabriel foothills, this Usonian-inspired home showcases Lloyd Wright’s geometric explorations of the time and is characterized by a harmonious blend of horizontal lines, ribbed concrete walls, expansive glass panels, and striking rooflines. The property’s open floor plan, with its unique shapes and oblique angles, is thoughtfully arranged into three distinct zones: the living space, kitchen/dining area, and bedroom wing. The diagonally scored concrete patio and original built-in barbecue provide an ideal setting for al fresco entertaining. The park-like yard also offers ample room for a pool. This architecturally significant gem has been thoughtfully updated to provide modern comforts while retaining its historic character. Moreover, it benefits from Mills Act status, offering significant tax savings."
