Did you know Apple computers inherited their sleek curves from the mid-century modern design of Steve Jobs’ childhood home? From October 25-27, you can tour that house and other architectural standouts in and around Palo Alto as part of the annual San Francisco Design Week. Get more from the Weekly.
A mid-century modern home is more than just a real estate investment. It's a lifestyle decision that shows you value design, nature, and community. It's about finding a place that feels like home, where every corner reflects a part of your personality and preferences. And it’s also about a vibe.
Greetings from Florence, Italy! While enjoying a much-needed vacation to close out the summer, we were blown away by the richness of culture and architecture. It made us want to look for Tuscany in the Bay Area. What we found were these marble and brick villas with eye-popping price tags!

We took a trip about two and a half hours north of San Francisco to the Sea Ranch, a planned community in unincorporated Sonoma County, and one of our favorite spots to poke around. While we were in the area, we connected with a local real estate agent from the Liisberg Company and learned that the Sea Ranch is a popular spot among San Francisco urbanites looking to buy a vacation/rental home.
We were both amazed by the unique and interesting architecture found throughout the Sea Ranch, where some of the world’s most innovative designers crafted homes to blend into their natural surroundings.. Even their fireplaces look cool! You can read more about the Sea Ranch style in this piece from the New York Times, and take a deep dive into the history with the folks at Dwell.
