Continuing with only the highest quality choices in materials and products, dual paned windows and doors of the finest design and construction have been used exclusively throughout the home. The windows were made to measure using Teak, known for high stability and resistance to the elements, dual paned for ultimate insulation and noise reduction, and shatterproof for safety. Tilt sliding French doors in the living room virtually disappear into themselves offering unobstructed transitions between the indoor and outdoor areas.

运用现代设计干净基本的形状和主色色度，起居室非常值得一看。相互对比又互补的图案编织成的地毯，在温暖的黄色、金黄色、棕褐色和红色彼此映对之下，异常美丽。同样地，设计简单的家具，感觉现代，但却绝不只是一派奶油色的皮革。一片订制设计的非洲文吉木墙壁上，艺术感十足的置物架是视觉焦点，也是陈列你宝藏的最完美所在。精心选择的室内植物，独具巧思的安置，给软调的现代化美学划上完美句点。

Utilizing contemporary design hallmarks of clean basic shapes and shades of primary colors the living room is a showplace. Contrasting but complimentary patterned rugs play off each other beautifully in warm yellow/gold, brown, and red. Similarly the simply designed furnishings feel contemporary but never veer toward stark in butter soft leather. A custom designed wall of African Wenge wood, with artistically shaped shelving is a focal point and the perfect place to display your treasures. Thoughtfully chosen and strategically placed indoor plants are used to fully complete the soft contemporary aesthetics.

这栋豪宅的设计没有忘记任何细节，也包括了一个完整的健身圣殿。隐藏式照明和整合式音响组，为健康的生活方式做了最好准备。三房的健身侧箱房包括有足够空间可放置全尺寸器材的健心室，设有镜子的重量训练室，和有隐藏式移门的瑜伽室，确保能够符合每个人的健康需求。就像这里看到的一样，这个家中到处使用意大利潘托门窗(Italian Panto)。

Forgetting no detail, the home’s design includes a complete exercise sanctuary. Recessed lighting and integrated sound set the scene for a healthful lifestyle. The three-room exercise wing includes cardio room with space for full size equipment, weight room with mirrors, and yoga room with pocket doors for privacy, ensuring that everyone’s fitness needs are met. As seen here, Italian Panto windows and doors are used exclusively throughout the home.

异常出色的设计元素，一切你想要有的豪华舒适的设备，让你觉得集三千宠爱于一身，而这些都结合在主卧室的浴室中，创造出一种真正一流的温泉浴经验。两个单独的梳妆区（其中一个有化妆台）各有一个结实的洗手槽和非洲文吉木制的橱柜，两区之间是一个家庭号大尺寸的化石缟玛瑙(Fossil Onyx)多喷头蒸汽淋浴。所有水管装置都是欧洲格兰富(European Grohe)最出色的产品。为统一维持整片房产区出类拔萃的设计选择，浴缸选用了一吨重的实心花岗石。大尺寸的浴缸，手工纯朴但干净清爽的设计，让人惊艳之余，又同时诱人享受放松。浴缸四周环绕着大片的落地窗，宽广的视野，让户外景色尽收眼底，这个设计运用这栋豪宅占地的美丽风景，为主卧室套房又增添了豪华的元素。

健身房 Gym

Exceptional design elements and all of the luxuriously pampering amenities you could desire unite in the master bath creating a truly first class spa experience. Two separate vanity areas (one with make up station), each with solid granite sinks and African Wenge cabinetry, are joined by the family sized Fossil Onyx steam shower with multiple sprayers. Only the finest European Grohe fixtures are used. In keeping with the extraordinary design choices found throughout the compound the 1-ton solid granite soaking tub is a sensation. Grand in size and stunning in rustic but clean design the tub wows while simultaneously inviting relaxation. Surrounding the tub with floor-to-ceiling windows that open wide, bringing the outdoors in, the design utilizes the beautiful backdrop of the home’s grounds as an added element of luxury to the master bathroom suite itself.

这个家结合现代风格和有机自然材料，创造出美丽的平衡。玄关处有一面缟玛瑙墙，实际分隔了空间，同时也在视觉上定义出深入这个家的流动、干净、现代特性的线条，礼赞它自然元素之美。

主卧室 Master Bathroom
 

The home uniquely combines contemporary styling with organic natural materials creating beautiful balance. The entry features a wall of onyx physically delineating the space but also visually defining the home’s character of sleek, clean, contemporary lines grounded in celebration of the beauty of its natural elements.

The stunning fireplace is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece and testament to impeccable stone selection, design and craftsmanship. Created from huge slabs of Honey Onyx imported from Persia, cut and placed for the most dramatic effect of symmetry and natural flow.

金融海啸的震央带华尔街大户饱受次贷风暴之苦，对房地产市场余悸犹存，但手边有点闲钱的小投资人却已经开始在像加州(California)、拉斯维加(Las Vegas)和亚历桑纳(Arizona)阳光带等地捡便宜了。

 购买加州法拍屋，现在正是时候?

Could Now be the Best Time to Buy a California Foreclosed Home?

根据美国洛杉矶时报2009年10月21日的最新报导，今年7月到9月被银行收回所有权的房产大幅减少，比去年同期下跌了37%，不过，法拍屋数量还是空前惊人。
 如果趋势继续下去，加州房市刚出现的微弱景气复苏力道可望继续增强。但是，根据经年统计房地产法拍屋的ForeclosureRadar统计，加州估计还有90,000栋的法拍屋。过去三个月间，加州大约有125,000栋房屋转手交易，其中有40%是法拍屋。
