Wallace Neff Home.....AMAZING
















What a weekend. I am exhausted. I showed homes yesterday, wrapped up a contract, and prepared for a brunch today. The kids I mentor through Mariners Church were baptised today. I am very proud of them as they chose to do this on their own. My ex also mentors them so it was a uncomfortable day of hanging out together. I am glad he is still involved....that is the most important.
I need to catch up with Fridays broker preview in Newport Beach....the peninsula area. I only viewed two homes.....but the one was very much worth it. The home I was very impressed with is one on 1707 East Bay Avenue. This construction is by Wallace Neff in 1928...and then restored with modern systems in 2005. This was the most Spanish feeling house I have ever been in. Beautiful spanish tiles throughout the home. The main level was an entertainment room.......with a pool table. There is also a really neat shower....that I have pictured.....that has two frogs at the bottom that spout water toward you. My favorite part was on the rooftop. There is a ledge.....bar height....with chairs that over look the ocean. I guess this is one of the tallest homes on the peninsula. The views were 360 degrees from the roof. This house has charm and character unlike any other home I have ever viewed. Pay close attention to the picture with the rug....that is actually a tile rug! Tomorrow I will talk about another one of Rob Glass's homes in Shady Canyon.
