California
What’s Here: Arrive home effortlessly, and in style, riding your very own private funicular (or ‘hillavator,’ as they’re commonly known). It’s the best way to reach this Spanish-style estate, perched high above the Los Angeles Basin by the Franklin Canyon reservoir and its famed orange grove. The four-bedroom, six-bath stunner dates to 1923, exuding a harmonious blend of Old Hollywood elegance and modern luxuries across more than 5,500 square feet. It’s all accented with huge arch windows, exposed beams in the living room and primary bedroom, and elaborate wrought iron details inside and out.
What We Love: The property’s dramatic elevation change, highlighted by the steep funicular tracks along the side of the house, means breathtaking views from every room. In particular, the living room and the primary bedroom have windows on three sides, giving the rooms the feeling of being in a very exclusive aerie, surrounded by trees and beautiful landscaping, gazing down at the shimmering lights below.

What We Love: The home’s exterior hosts a heated saltwater pool, a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, and an enormous lawn, allowing you to live your best outdoor life, with meals al fresco and space enough to host the whole gang for a game of Ultimate Frisbee.

Washington, D.C.
What’s Here: An absolute fever dream of mid-century modern design, with six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths.

Inside, the living room has tongue-and-groove beamed ceilings, while the retro-styled kitchen has a Fireclay tile backsplash, Outside, enjoy a private yard with a fire pit and a waterfall. The lower level has a guest suite, a family room, and a large home gym. Did we mention that a wall of windows on the front overlooks Rock Creek Park?
What We Love: Lots of fun surprises around every corner, including a miniature version of the house that serves as a Little Free Library for the neighborhood, a functional mudroom with a pretty, blue-tiled dog bath, and a hidden loft decorated in an outer space theme that’s just for the kids. Less unusual, but still plenty special, are the wood-burning fireplaces on each floor, the wet bar in the dining room, and the skylights in the hallway and the primary bathroom.

What’s Here: Possibilities on possibilities at a personal resort of a property. Whatever you want from home life on a particular day, this 11-acre estate outside Miami can provide it. Sip cocktails beneath coffered living room ceilings, dine on an immaculately prepared feast beneath a covered patio, or splash around a dazzling saltwater pool. Horse enthusiasts can gallop over to the stables, while HORSE enthusiasts can work on their best trick shots on the basketball court. If you’re neither, putt some time in at the mini-golf course. For those days you’d rather stay indoors, a separate entertainment building boasts a 12-person movie theater, arcade cabinets, and more. And there remains plenty more to discover outside of this paragraph.
What We Love: Arrive or depart with flair — the property features a heliport and a private landing strip. For more grounded means of transportation, there is a car collector’s garage capable of housing over 20 of your most treasured vintage models.

Behind the scenes, the c. 1910 home fittingly displays a stately glamour, marked by beamed and coffered ceilings, white oak herringbone floors with ebony inlay borders, antique mirrors and fireplace mantels, and a basement-level wine cellar with stone walls and built-in benches. Its full-floor primary suite shines bright with a gas fireplace, a custom dressing area, terrace access, and an en suite bath featuring a polished nickel soaking tub.
What We Love: The home has a garden-level unit with a separate entrance and the makings of an ideal guest suite or source of rental income. If having an individual bed, full bath, kitchen, and dining room isn’t enticing, then exposed brick walls, built-in bookshelves, and direct access to a private backyard — all touchstones of appealing NYC residences — undoubtedly will.

Across the main level’s poured concrete floors, there’s a chic kitchen outfitted in walnut and matte lacquer and a sunken living room accented by a fireplace with a vast marble surround.
