Custom built in 2007, this stunning KAA designed 7,900 s.f. 5 bedroom / 7.5 bath home resets the bar for exceptional design with an uncompromising commitment to the highest quality finishes and workmanship it simply does not get any better than this. Situated on a rare lot and a half (4,050 s.f.), on the north side of arguably the very best walkstreet in town, this property straddles the border of the 100 and 200 block and features short walks to the beach and town. A spectacular blend of stone and wood, mountains and beach, ocean and sky, this extraordinary home features towering walls of tumbled Chief Cliff Ledge stone from Montana Rockworks, rich Spanish Cedar exterior and interior structural finish and trim (including all wood siding, and beamed ceilings), with a combination of tempered steel and Honduran Mahogany wood windows and wide plank hand distressed walnut floors. The top floor features an exceptional wide open floor plan including two large decks/ outdoor rooms that merge into one extraordinary space when the many sliders are open and blur the distinction between the interior and exterior space. The physical dimensions of the top floor are reminiscent of a larger Hill section view property and unlike anything in the Sand Section. Home features full basement with world class 5000 bottle wine cellar, a spectacular Chief Cliff Ledge Stone encased wine dining room, a full butlers pantry and a bonus room gym/ home theater room. Home has too many features to list but includes world class office with a view, kids study, 4- stop elevator, craft room, huge beach room with walnut bar, beach bath with separate entrance and laundry, Sun Valley Bronze fixtures, bronze exterior rails, low voltage Lutron lighting system designed by KGM Architectural Lighting, 3-car garage, laundry room with walk in cleaning closet, Russound Apple driven sound system, B-Radiant heating, indoor and outdoor wood burning fireplaces, and much, much more.

VINCENT THOMAS BRIDGE / TERMINAL ISLAND FERRY

PUBLISHER Warren J Dow ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER Christopher Matalone

CREATIVE DIRECTOR Amanda Nelson-Sinagra DIGITAL MEDIA SPECIALIST Kieron McKay

The Vincent Thomas Bridge is a 1,500-foot long suspension bridge crossing the Los Angeles Harbor linking San Pedro, California with Terminal Island. Prior to the bridges construction in 1963, the Terminal Island Ferry transported people and cars to Terminal Island. The Ferry building was a working ferry terminal from 1941 to 1963 and currently houses the Los Angeles Maritime Museum. The bridge is named after California Assemblyman Vincent Thomas of San Pedro. FT. MacARTHUR In 1888, the War Department took control of a tract of land next to the San Pedro bay, and added to it in 1897 and 1910. This became Fort MacArthur in 1914, and was a coastal defense site for many years, which also included a Nike missile site in the White Point area. In 1978, the Secretary of the Interior transferred ownership of the White Point U.S. naval reservation to the City of Los Angeles to be used for recreational purposes.

KOREAN BELL The Korean Bell of Friendship is a massive bronze bell housed in a stone pavilion in Angels Gate Park, in the San Pedro district of Los Angeles, California. It is located at the corner of Gaffey and 37th Streets. The bell was donated by the Republic of Korea to the people of Los Angeles, California to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States, to honor American veterans of the Korean War, and to symbolize friendship between the two nations. It was dedicated on October 3, 1976. POINT FERMIN LIGHTHOUSE Built in 1874 in the Stick Style Victorian style, the Point Fermin Lighthouse was the first navigational light into the San Pedro Bay. Phineas Banning, proposed construction of the lighthouse in 1854 however land disputes delayed its construction until 1874. On December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed and the coast was blacked out for fear of being a beacon to enemy ships and planes, that included turning off the lighthouse beacon. Sadly, the light was never to be lit again. THE MULLER HOUSE Steeped in history the Muller House was originally located at 129 Front Street in the Nob Hill neighborhood of San Pedro California and moved when Front Street was widened. The colonial Revival style house was built for the parents

of Edward Big Ed James Mahar, Mayor of San Pedro. In 1901 shipbuilder William Muller bought the home for his family. The house was owned by the Mullers from 1906 to 1963, when they donated it to the San Pedro Bay Historical Society, who restored it and now operates it

- SUNNY McBRIDE

I never understood how complex the job of being a realtor could be until I worked with Maureen Megowan. She worked tirelessly to assist me before, during and after the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. It took a month to prepare my home to be put on the market. She orchestrated the remodeling and staging of my home so that it showed like a jewel. Closing the sale required a delicate dance. She was the force which made it all happen. The purchase of my new home required creative financing. She helped to guide me along that path. I cannot thank Maureen enough for the endless hours she spent helping me and my family. I highly refer Maureen Megowan and would absolutely use her again.

Since we tend to always focus on what the local real estate numbers are telling us about local market conditions, I thought I would share some big picture economic numbers that you may find interesting. Housing contributes to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in two ways: private residential investment and consumption spending on housing services. Historically, residential investment has averaged roughly 5% of GDP while housing services have averaged between 12%-13%, for a combined 17%-18% of GDP!

Well, real estate is always good, as far as Im concerned.

THE CHANGING MARKET


Not only did inventories rise in April 2013, but home prices surged! Home values are on the rise throughout the nation; listing prices rose 2.6% last month and were 3% higher than in April 2012. Locally, our Southern California neighborhood markets reflect these trends. In Los Angeles, home values were up 34% from one year ago in April 2012. Its what we expected to see, since for 13 consecutive months the median home value in Southern California has increased. Southern California homes also spend less time on the market than they did a year ago: about 11% less time, according to Realtor.com. Higher-end and luxury homes sell faster than mid-priced homes; the sales of properties priced above $800,000 increased by 50% from April 2012 to April 2013. The strong demands for beachfront luxury homes, homes in good school districts, and homes that reflect lifestyle upgrades are greater than the number of available homes in the South Bay, which means that our local property values are escalating and rapidly recovering. Numbers can be misleading, however; while it looks like sales are down, overall, there is simply a nationwide supply shortage, despite the number of homes for sale in the US increasing by 4% in April 2013 alone. As long as there are more buyers than there are available houses, we can expect to see rapid property value growth like we have from April 2012 to April 2013.

WRIT TEN BY HEI DI WALTER
Everyone is asking where the inventory is. We are still looking, jokes Ed Kaminsky of Shorewood Realtors, one of the top real estate agents in the South Bay.Kaminsky says that increased demand creates instant appreciation in the beach cities at the fastest pace hes seen in the entire 25 years hes been an agent. He has other observations, as well. One thing you will notice is the increase of new development projects around town, he says. Manhattan Beach is starting to become a second home market. Some of these buyers are actually local and they may already own a home in the Hill Section or Tree Section but they want a home on The Strand. Other buyers are permanent residents in Los Angeles or places like Scottsdale and The Silicon Valley with the best climate in the world, the greatest beaches, the best school systems and plenty of business opportunities, the South Bay continues to be a major draw. After transitioning into real estate from a job selling jewelry, Kaminsky found success within his first year. It took me six months to earn my first client, he says, but after that I went on a roll and sold 17 houses my first year in the business. The market has changed considerably since the late 1980s. Todays pace is lightning-fast and clients demand instant answers, 24/7 access, and they are armed with more information than ever so you have to stay ahead of the curve to provide valuable insight and skills in todays real estate market. Kaminsky eventually launched SportStar Relocation, a company that is dedicated to the relocation needs of athletes and anything related to their real estate moves. Additionally, in the early 2000s, he launched the Premiere Estates Auction Company to market luxury properties across the USA. He calls those marketing campaigns extremely aggressive and exciting. You can find Kaminsky at the new Shorewood Realtors office in downtown Manhattan Beach. We still maintain the Kaminsky Real Estate Groups main office at our Rosecrans location, he explains, but love to be able to pop into our office in the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach. It feels like youre on vacation when youre down there. We also have had a very successful re-launch of Itznew Development in partnership with Todd Wohl from Zaco Development, a company designed to renovate the older homes in the South Bay and bring them up to todays standards. Many buyers love the character of the older homes but want modern amenities. We have been able to do that while maintaining the original architecture and landscape of the South Bay as opposed to tearing down and rebuilding these beautiful homes. Kaminskys take on the South Bay is that it has a small-town feel that he loves. There is a sense of community that is hard to find in other areas, he says. I did transplant here from Cleveland, Ohio and certainly am glad I was able to raise my two daughters Candace and Tina in such a great environment. Now my wife Cindy and I get to walk our dogs around downtown Manhattan Beach, where a large percentage of the shop owners have doggy treats waiting behind their counters, and though they may not recognize us, they recognize our dogs and remember their names: Jake and Nala.

IN THE KITCHEN WITH...


B RO O K E W I L L I A M S O N
of Hudson House in Redondo Beach

As a Top Chef runner-up, mom to a young son, and co-owner of two restaurants with her husband, chef Nick Roberts, its a miracle Hudson Houses Brooke Williamson ever gets to eat at a restaurant where someone else is in charge. But the self-taught chefwho happens to be the youngest female chef to have cooked at the prestigious James Beard House in New Yorknot only finds time to dine out, she relishes the experience. South Bay Digs sat down with Williamson and learned a thing or two about entertaining, food prep and the value of television cooking shows.

IN THE KITCHEN

South Bay Digs: Tell me about the first time you fell in love with food. Brooke Williamson: I was probably 5 or 6 years old, and I would watch cooking shows on Saturday mornings. Julia Child, The Galloping Gourmet those are the shows that inspired me. Id spend most of my mornings as a kid testing out recipes in our kitchen. SBD: How does a 5-year-old get inspired to watch cooking shows? BW: My parents always appreciated food. We ate out once or twice a week when I was young, and my mom cooked dinner on school nights. I wouldnt call my parents foodies, but they really appreciated good food and they exposed me to everything. Before I could say no to a new dish, they would ask me to at least try it once before theyd let me take a pass. I do the same for my son, and with both of his parents being chefs, were adamant about him trying everything once. SBD: Speaking of TV cooking shows, how did you find yourself on Top Chef? BW: The show had approached me a few times over several years and the reason I didnt do it the first three seasons was because Id just had a baby, Id opened a restaurant, and then I opened another restaurant. I didnt have a major excuse this last time, and I felt if I didnt do it now, I might not get the opportunity again. It seemed like a great time to challenge myself in a new arena. SBD: Challenge is how the average person might view cooking at home. How do home cooks make meal preparation harder than it should be? BW: I feel like they over think some dishes, and they place too much emphasis on following recipes properly. Its hard for me to write recipes because the flavors in foods differ so much from season to season, and [flavors] can vary depending on where you buy the food. For example, its impossible to know how much sugar is in a tomato, and that makes it tough to really know how much sugar youll need [in a tomato sauce recipe] to make it sweet enough. People have to trust their palates. Cook according to how you want to eat, not how someone else says you should. SBD: I understand you love entertaining at home. What are some of your favorite dishes to make when you have company?

BW: It depends on the season. I cook fresh and clean at home, and often when we have company, I let the farmers market inspire me. Ill go shopping and see what looks beautiful. As much as I love cooking, I also love to enjoy my company so I try to keep it simple. Ill serve everything family style so that I can appreciate the ritual of having company. SBD: Any secrets or tricks of the trade youd like to share? BW: If you can prepare an element of a dinner ahead of time, maybe a day or two before, do it. Im all for worrying only about how beautiful your table looks, and being non-frazzled. I make a lot of lists, and I look at what I can cross off before it becomes stressful. It can be especially hard when you have a kid, because you never know what kind of mood theyll be in, if theyll want to help you or unhelp you, so Ill try to prepare stuff after my son goes to bed the night before a dinner party. SBD: Red wine or white? BW: Im a Level 1 Certified Sommelier, and as much as I love wine I choose all the wine for both my restaurants I feel there are so many other beverage options. Each meal should have its own beverage; if you want to serve beer with dinner, there are some fantastic local beers out there. Wine is my go-to. A classic way to enjoy a meal is with a glass of wine, but Im really into cocktails and mixology as well. SBD: I have to askwhat happens when two chefs go out to dinner? BW: We eat out because we enjoy eating out. We enjoy seeing what other people are doing and with every meal theres something to be learned. Sometimes well go out for research purposes, but other times we just want to eat what were in the mood for.

On the Menu
SHRIMP SALAD ON A FRENCH ROLL WITH PICKLED RED JALAPENO AND WATERCRESS
(SERVES 6) Kick off the summer with this fabulously fresh sandwich recipe, courtesy of Hudson House chef-owners Brooke Williamson and Nick Roberts.

INGREDIENTS:
6 French rolls (large enough for a hearty sandwich) 3 red jalapenos cup apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 3 bunches cleaned watercress 3 pounds raw peeled and deveined shrimp (any size) 2 tablespoons canola oil Juice and zest of one lemon 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 6 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 finely chopped hard boiled eggs 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles 1 tablespoon chopped capers cup celery, finely diced 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Method:
1. Slice the jalapeno into rings, discarding the seeds, and place the rings into a small bowl with the vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir for a moment to make sure that the sugar dissolves. Set aside for at least an hour before straining off the liquid. 2. Fill the bowl of a food processor with the shrimp and pulse until the shrimp is roughly chopped. Heat a medium saut pan over high heat and add the canola oil. Add the shrimp and a pinch of salt and saut just until the shrimp is cooked through (about 3 minutes). Remove from the heat and drain off any excess liquid. Place the cooked shrimp in a bowl in the fridge to chill.

SBD:

3. In a large mixing bowl combine the lemon juice and zest, mustard, mayonnaise, garlic, eggs, pickles, capers, celery, fresh herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Add the cooked and chilled ground shrimp and stir to incorporate. 4. Slice the bread lengthwise and lightly toast in the oven until golden brown. Fill the toasted roll with the shrimp mixture, strained pickled jalapeno, and watercress. These sandwiches should be assembled just before serving. If assembled too far ahead of time, the bread will become soggy.

professional chef mindset when youre dining for pleasure? BW: Inevitably, the fact that were chefs makes us notice things other people wouldnt, but what really matters is your overall experience. If you go out to dinner and you didnt enjoy yourself, you probably wont go back to that restaurant. The restaurants that inspire us are the ones that make us say, Hey, we want to come back here.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KAMINSKY REAL ESTATE GROUP

Ed Kaminsky
I knew Ed was one of the most active agents in the area, so when we started working with him I thought he might be too busy for us. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was there for us morning, noon and night, every step of the way. I dont think he sleeps. He is organized, a great negotiator and his team was spectacular. - Paul K., Manhattan Beach

Tina Kaminsky
My wife and I had already spent three or four months monitoring the online listing sites and visiting open houses on our own before we decided to enlist the services of a buyers agent. We felt confident that Tina and Ed understood what we were looking for and over the next few months they worked with us, developing our understanding of the local market and helping us hone our own priorities as we visited listing after listing. They brought us an opportunity that checked off several of our must-haves, but was located in a section of Manhattan Beach that we had not seriously considered. After spending a few hours in the neighborhood, we knew it was perfect. We put together an offer over the weekend and although we found ourselves in a multiple bid situation, by Thursday we were in escrow. - M. Fransciso, Manhattan Beach

Becky Davidson
If youre looking for an amazing Realtor, Becky Davidson is it! My husband and I just bought our first home and couldnt be more thrilled. Beckys professionalism, knowledge of the market and enthusiasm made the process go very smoothly. Right from our first meeting, I knew she understood our needs and was totally committed to helping us find our perfect new home. Becky always made herself available to us by email, phone or text. We never had to wait long to get an answer to our questions or a follow up on an issue. Another quality that makes her a stand out agent is that she never pressured us into the wrong home. Who needs the added stress of second guessing such an important decision? If we are ever in the market again, we will definitely be calling Becky. - Ivonne and Sal Huertas, Redondo Beach

STACI BROOKS
When we decided it was time to buy our first home to support our growing family, we really didnt know where to begin. We couldnt have been more fortunate to connect with Staci, who not only found us the perfect house but also helped us through every step of the process. We had many specific needs, including space for a home office, a quiet street, a house that required very little maintenance (we arent very handy!) and she found us the needle-in-ahaystack that fulfilled them all. She both brought us to a fantastic house and helped us get a great price as well. We love it and will absolutely be recommending her to our friends in the South Bay who are buying a home. - Ryan Leach & Lydia Veilleux

next to the Redondo Beach Historical Museum. Surrounded by greenery and rose bushes, the Morrell House is a charming reminder of what homes looked like decades ago here in Redondo Beach.

Step inside the restored Morrell House and youll feel as though youve stepped

back in time. As the Morrell family lived in this home from 1906 until 1956, care has been taken to only display items dated up to 1956 in order to provide an authentic environment. Everywhere you look there are tangible reminders of a different era. Many of these historic items have been donated from local residents over the years. There are beautifully decorated plates, vintage photographs, and a lovely kitchen and living room area, both true to the time period. The dining area is carefully set with dishes and glassware, and features a window seat with cushions that were originally from the Sweetser House. There is also a former bedroom which the Historical Society has converted into a library of sorts where visitors can sift through an extensive collection of articles and photographs. So much of Redondos history is here on display. The Morrell House is a 2,346-square-foot, multi-purpose facility which is available for rental by individuals, businesses and non-profit groups and organizations on a first come, first served basis. The home is located in Heritage Court at Dominguez Park on Flagler Lane (between 190th and Beryl St.) in Redondo Beach. On a recent, warm Saturday, the park was busy with activity and a Little League game was taking place in the nearby park. A gentle breeze rustled the rose bushes in front of the Morrell House. The door of the home stood open, welcoming visitors to a different era.

The Original Details


This home was originally located at 204 North Catalina Avenue and was built in 1906 by J. E. Morrell. It was one of the first homes to have electricity, and was occupied by the Morrell family until 1956. According to the Redondo Beach Historical Society, Mr. Morrell was the first partially-paid Redondo Beach Fire Chief in an all-volunteer department. The homes original exterior colors were white and black, and the architectural style was a combination of Queen Anne and Craftsman styles. The home also had a barn in the back where the family raised chickens, and kept a cow at a nearby plan which provided them with fresh milk. The Morrell House was facing demolition in 1989 until a group of concerned citizens took action to save the home. The home was saved, and it reportedly took nineteen years to restore the home into the pristine condition of today. Restoration efforts included a new foundation, new roof, rebuilt fireplaces, substantial earthquake retrofitting, exterior paint stripping and repainting, refurbishment of windows, replacement of the electrical and plumbing systems, replastering of the interior walls, and the construction of handicap access.

MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING


Tucked behind a solid wood gate and two towering Canary palm trees is a private courtyard and fountain that leads to a 7,028 sq. ft. estate with 100 ft. of ocean-frontage. The 22 ft. high entry foyer reminisces Californias rich cultural heritage with its tiled grand staircase, iron banister and wood beamed truss ceiling. Cool ocean breezes flow throughout this Mediterranean style home. The panoramic Pacific Ocean views are IMAX-like from each of the four bedroom suites. The infinity pool and spa seem to flow into the sea. With Crestron and Lutron smart-house touch-pads throughout, each room enjoys its own lighting, temperature, sound and visual ambiance, programmable for day to ebb into evening. From the genuine-period tile patterns to the decorative wood ceilings, from the authentic light sconces to the antique hardware, and whether wood, marble or travertine floors, everything throughout this home was designed in elegant detail. Each of the four bedroom suites is unique, with custom designed cabinetry, stone, tile and lighting elements. The master suite custom cherry-wood, walk-in closets mirror the level of finish in every room. Each floor has its own laundry. Five fireplaces provide warmth and charm. The office conjures feelings of command central for just about any business, while also exuding serenity and ocean views. The expansive workout facilities face the fountain courtyard and have two large HD flat screens, as well as a full bath. The library has exquisite built-in bookcases to display an avid readers personal collection. The patio/pool and loggia paver floors and the large al fresco dining deck are radiant heated. Private secure access from the terrace to the beach paths invites those within to venture to the sand to enjoy all that the beach has to offer. Locally and regionally, nothing comes close to this home. It is unique, irreplaceable and irresistible.

FISHING WITH DYNAMITE


makes seafood the star
WRI T T E N BY Q UI N N ROBE RTS
When describing Fishing with Dynamite, his newest restaurant in Manhattan Beach, chef and owner David LeFevre uses an interesting analogy. We wanted to have a seafood restaurant that embodied an East Coast nostalgia and a West Coast vibe. Its like a Sperry Top-Sider with a Vans shoe. We are somewhere in the middle of that with the restaurant, said LeFevre. Fishing with Dynamite has created that middle ground by having slatted cottage ceilings, wood paneling and funky artwork that evokes East Coast sensibilities. Plenty of glass windows throughout the restaurant also create a light and airy West Coast feel. Opening just a few weeks ago at 1148 Manhattan Avenue, Fishing with Dynamite is small in size with just 32 seats, but still serves a slew of people from all over Los Angeles. When it comes to the menu, LeFevre is all about making the seafood the star. Hes done that through the restaurants old school and new school options. Customers can choose from nostalgic favorites like New England Clam Chowdah ($6/$10), Maryland Blue Crab Cakes ($16) and Poached Half Atlantic Lobster ($21). The more adventurous customer can dine on plates like Grilled Octopus ($18), Thai Shellfish & Coconut Soup ($11) and Black Miso Cod ($16). When it is on the plate, a lot of people put stuff with it or on it, LeFevre said. For me, the seafood is the most important part of the dish and really highlighting it, elevating it instead of covering it up. Beginning lunch service last week, LeFevre said hes also working on new summer specials for the lunch and dinner menus that could include options like fish tacos and lobster rolls. However, the raw bar, which is directly in the middle of the restaurant, is still the focus of Fishing with Dynamite. Offering six different oysters from across the country, the restaurant also gives customers the option to dine on chilled little neck clams, scallops, dungeness crab and even California sea urchin. Having fresh seafood is the most important thing and sourcing a great product is key, LeFevre said. An oyster is an example of the most pristine seafood you can have because it is alive moments before you eat it. An accumulation of all the things that LeFevre loves, Fishing with Dynamite has already received a positive response from the community in just the few weeks its been open. I want to provide something for the community that people like, LeFevre said. The main response Ive had is that Manhattan Beach has needed an oyster bar for so long and now its here.

STUDIOS
BRINGS HOLLYWOOD INTO THE HOME
WRIT T EN BY QUINN ROBERTS
Working with antiques and salvage, with a background in ceramics, Breck Armstrong has handled some unusual materials throughout his career. So when he bought a few 35mm film reels on a whim from a friend, a new project was born. I really didnt know what to do with them in the beginning, Armstrong said. Then I just started playing around with the nuts and bolts of it and came up with the table. Helping people bring the big screen into their home or office, each film reel table by Moss Studios is made just outside of Lansing, Michigan with an original aluminum 35 mm film reel from the 1930s and costs $850. In between two sheets of glass, the reel is offset by a steel base made from salvaged gear parts. First introducing the design in 2008, Armstrong went through a few different prototypes before settling on the final table. The biggest change Armstrong made throughout the process was having the table become adjustable, ranging in height from 18 to 26 inches. I really like repurposing and designing products that speak for themselves and stand alone, Armstrong said. I want the object to be recognizable, but not too tricky. It has to be truly authentic. Finding and buying most of the film reels at flea markets and on the internet, Armstrong has traveled from New York to Ohio to California to find the parts he needs to make each table. While the aluminum film reels are from the 1930s, much of the actual film comes from other decades. A few of the movies hes come across have included: North by Northwest, Dances with Wolves and Nicholas Nickleby. Getting interest in the piece because of its authenticity, he even sold about 25 tables in 2011 to Anthropologie, who featured the table in stores across the country. Anything to do with movies, cameras and reels, people are nostalgic about, Armstrong said. People really connect to the piece and find comfort in it.

Wine to me is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It's culture. It's the essence of civilization and the art of living. ~ Robert Mondavi

WATERFALL
This wine cellar was also a new construction, but the Vail, Colorado homeowners wanted something unique to accompany the moat that surrounds their unusual and palatial homestead. Designer Billy Beson planned a wine cellar at the end of a stylish bridge crossing the moat, which floats around the entire house (you even walk over a bridge to get to the front door). Enchanting touches add to the rustic, castle-like scene, such as lights under the water which change color (seemingly magically) and stones that form a pathway to enter the wine cellar door. When you step on the first stepping-stone, the waterfall which covers the cellar like an icy, chilly magical doorway turns off so you can walk in and select a wine, cellar look out at the churning, musical water.

MEDITERRANEAN VILL A-INSP IRED


This main-floor wine room, designed by Thomas Allardyce of Hendrix Allardyce Design in West Hollywood, California, was created as an integral part of a new home construction. Having a spacious wine closet in their dream Mediterranean-style villa was a must for Allardyces clients, who had a large and important wine collection. Modern in function and traditional in style, sealed glass doors with an overlay of custom decorative iron perpetuate the illusion of history. The style is classic and European, says Allardyce of his approach, as might be found in a winery setting in France or Italy. The setting is a part of the entertainment area where dinners are enjoyed, and great wines are always on display while being enjoyed. The unique and exotic room, which houses single bottle, case, and bin storage areas for varying vintages and specialized bottle sizes, conceals the refrigeration duct work behind a grid of mahogany in the ceiling; the cases are also all unfinished mahogany and serve second-duty as furniture. Natural colored plaster walls and stone flooring complete the fantasy.

After shopping the loan around with two big banks and a mortgage broker I realized I could have saved myself a lot of time and gone with my first instinct which was Regan. He made what is usually a long and painful process (this is my 4th home loan) a very short process with absolutely no pain. Every lender I spoke with said my loan would not be a problem but when I would ask specific questions regarding the details even the big banks didnt really know the answers and Regan did. I know it sounds like a clich, but Regan delivered exactly what he promised me and in half the time.

- Joe and Carrie

Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasnt had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that Ive gained the trust and respect of my clients. In todays market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal. Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and find out why Watermark is right for you.
