This is an Art Deco masterpiece. It’s the Derby House, designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 1926. Located in Glendale, California it’s listed for $3.2M. 

Art Deco details.

It has windows behind the exterior cement openwork. I didn’t expect that. 

The architectural features look like they go right thru the mezzanine.

The mezzanine. 

What a unique fireplace. 

Large dining room has a fireplace and room enough for fireside seating.

This part of the pristine kitchen looks like it’s galley style, but it’s not.

It extends out and is quite large.

The main bedroom has a loft.

The loft above the main bedroom is like a living room.

Cool pink bath.

There are 5 bdrms. This one also has a loft above.

And, this is the purple bath.

The home has upper and lower patios.

Beautiful, unique home.

I'm just going put this here. Sometimes it's just nice to know what things cost in other places, in case you were planning a trip or wanted to avoid scammers.

I could speak to you but I won't

I could hurt you but I don't want to

I could wish you well but I don't

I could make peace but I'd rather haunt you

Welcome to the Enchanted Cave, in Blue Mountain State Park, Bilpin, New South Wales, Australia. The entrance is a small round Hobbit door.

Is this paradise, or what?  The clifftop cave is built onto a natural rock platform.

The views are amazing and the glass walls fold to open and close.

This kitchen has everything.

The spa bath feels like it’s outside.

Look at the TV, inset in the rock wall.

So many beautiful views from the huge terraces.

Window to the bush.

Cozy glow.

This is amazing.

I recently met someone who told me that he grew up in a small evangelical town not knowing he was gay. He just thought he was broken. I just think that's so sad.
