This morning I am sure we walked past a house you will like; but which one is it?
I will number them for your convenience. You may chose more than one. Interspersed with the houses will be flora, fauna and fungi.

Yellow-fringed Iris
Pride of Madeira

Lobster plant (snake deterrent)

View over Loma Portal Elementary School, founded about 1912.

Sure wish we knew what this flowering tree was. Anybody?
Wild Anise (licorice)
This totem pole (cut into a tree trunk) goes with the next house.

Bees quite happy to take over the manhole cover and no doubt have filled the cavity beneath it.
Here kitty, kitty. Rich kitty. (While You Were Sleeping)

1962 Studebacker Hawk $17,950 lettering is too small, price is too big.
'Shroom. No guarantee it is safe to eat.

That's all for now. I hope you like historical homes of various types ... I will be disappointed if you can't find just one that pleases you.
We had a good time anyway.
Cheers,

Mike, great work, thanks.
There's not one I wouldn't take but there are a few I would take first over some of the others. Kind of a descending order of preference. I always enjoy your "home tours".
The one with the (now) totem pole has 2 2-car garages even though you can't see them in the picture I posted
Here's the house and tree from a few years ago. It has the killer view of the bay too, out the back ...
For my taste....
Houses 1, 7 and 19. Much too difficult to beat single level ranch or hacienda style homes - my all time favorites, plus red brick adds to the appeal in my eyes. Honorable mention goes to home number 23 - same just on two levels.... Cheers and thanks for t...
Here's what I know
View from 1 Regarding number 7-- the home of "Auto Parts Annie" who I dated a few times before I got married ~ 50 years ago... here are some pics from about 10 years ago on Google Maps, before it got hidden by landscaping. Nineteen is owned by Karen who w...
Oh, by the way....
Those skyline views are amazing! My favorite pictures overall, here in L.A., you'd have to pay far more for views like those, not that I'm implying that the S.D. prices are inexpensive.... Cheers Mike, Filip
I have a decent view too, when standing on top of my roof
Too bad Santa & the roofers are the only ones to enjoy it
Well, you seem to see to it that
you have great views at least every other day, with the added benefit of a workout. Not unlike the roofers. Or Santa, in-season. Cheers Marc
15 is really cool, and I like the blue paint which is fairly recent
Nice rooftop deck too, but as you can see here it's under the flight path before the remake and taking down all the trees... ...
That's a very interesting place, isn't it?
One major problem with it - the view is of the local high school parking lot. It's at the main gate in/out, thus most of the year there's lots of traffic and motley groups of kids. Photo from a few years ago. ...
I always thought I was a diehard modernist…
but I surprised myself by thinking the modern houses strike me as too clinical and lacking charm compared to the other homes. Ultimately, they’re all beautiful in one way or another given the personal attention the owners clearly invest in these homes, bu...
