Looking Back At 2024, Three Favorite Dwellings
It’s been a tumultuous year. More than ever, our homes represent so many things– sanctuary, financial security, nostalgia and long-held dreams, and for the very lucky (or clever) as objects of desire. In California (and elsewhere, of course) we hold our homes dear in the face of drought, flood, fires and earthquake, plus the municipal perils of taxation, rezoning, and the vagaries of short-term rental policies. Nonetheless, Californians enjoy an extraordinary heritage of design and architectural excellence, fueled both by climate and an economy that still ranks fifth globally. It can be an extraordinary place to live, and we’ve chosen three favorite dwellings from this year’s real estate listings.

Possibly the archetypical starter home, reinvented here by architect Barbara Bestor, it is a lesson in the value of simplicity.Photo Credit: Sterling ReedPhoto Credit: Sterling ReedThe post Looking Back At 2024, Three Favorite Dwellings appeared first on California Home+Design.
