New Frontiers

I've ventured a bit further afield lately, working with a buyer in the Foothill communities, and a seller in Anaheim (more on this later). Last week I rummaged through the inventory in Monrovia, and took these stills.

Image 1: A Craftsman style house clad entirely, nauseatingly, in pink marble squares. Note the landscaping, roses what else?

Image 2: Beam ends wrapped in copper sleeves, an interesting preservation strategy.

Image 3: Dear Craftsman connoisseurs, a Tifal Brothers is for sale! (see Clinkers, Tifals...Clifals! 5/5/08) Snazzy built-ins, split granite fireplace, distinctive hardware, lousy kitchen update, walking distance to Myrtle (but not in the Wild Rose Historic District).
