YOUR HOME - INSIDE SCV HOMES
Lovers of all things wine and Napa Valley, Preston and Nicole Geeting brought the California Wine Country aesthetic home to their own backyard when they designed this heavenly Yountville-style retreat nestled into the sprawling Southern Oaks hillside. For the Geetings, outdoor living has never been more pleasing to the palette.
This Valencia traditional French-country home is anything but standard for Santa Clarita - and the beauty's in the details. Located in Valencia, overlooking golf-course greens - and at over 7,000 square feet of living space - this five-bedroom estate also boasts a theater room, his-and-hers upstairs offices, a gym, a billiard room, a game room, three staircases, two exterior loggias and multiple courtyards.
Lisa Duncan's Valencia home could be considered your standard SCV tract house from the street, but only a glance inside would tell an entirely different story.
The home of Brian and Genessy Safdari, owners of College Planning Experts, is always well appointed - but come Christmas, the farmhouse aesthetic is elevated with the addition of glimmering holiday ornaments, charming adornments, sparkling trees - and garland galore.
The Saugus home of Rhonda Knights is comfortable, cozy - and entirely customized by Knights herself. The co-owner of AR Workshop (288-1903), Knights knows her way around woodworking tools, paint and stencils, and it shows. "A great deal of the decor, as well as the wall accents like shiplap, the beams, a lot of the furniture pieces, the barn doors - I made it," says the entrepreneur.
The Escalante Family's estate blends contemporary styling with a Spanish look for a home that's anything but ordinary.
The Peachland Estates home of John and Shelly Whelchel is generously sized, situated on about an acre. With that much space came opportunity in abundance - and bugs.
Shelly Whelchel's "she shed" serves as a feminine escape without leaving home - no phones allowed.
When Lisa and Robert Younkin first moved into their West Hills community home, a goal was set. "We wanted a house that exuded warmth - but still had clean lines and a very neutral palette."
A clean aesthetic and the world's best materials make for a refined al fresco experience.
From all dirt to all done, this Valencia yard shows off expert craftsmanship and high-end materials.
This home is bursting with elements we love - luscious greenery, exotic landscape design, patio perfection and more.
Rich woods, dramatic lighting, heavy fabrics and nods to glamorous hotels band together to create a home in Valencia that is entirely New York chic.
Golf-course living in Santa Clarita means heritage oaks, mountain views and every excuse for al fresco dining.
The tract house that Tim and Cindy Dadik call home has the look and feel of a custom home thanks to a recent floor-to-ceiling remodel. "The only thing we kept from our previous 11 years here was the pool table - and even that got a navy-blue fabric upgrade," reflects Cindy. "We wanted an open floor plan that was airy and bright."
Simplicity can be beautiful. That's the thought behind this Santa Clarita yard, filled with simple lines, organic elements and plenty of space to entertain.
Modern design is softened with organic additions and delicate textures.
A mis-managed previous remodel is ground for growth and opportunity in this unique master bedroom.
So many Santa Claritians can relate: What's the point of a sitting room, anyway? Says homeowner Shelly Whelchel, "Our sitting room ended up being a place we put our extra furniture that didn't really fit anywhere else. It wasn't special, it wasn't used often. It ended up just being a lot of wasted space."
