We looked online and found 78 houses with pools open on Sunday, May 13 in LA County. A quick scan of the listings brought us to these two houses, both sort of awful and sort of fabulous, for people who like their bling in espresso-stained wood and indoor water features. Both are great places for 200 of your best friends on a warm weekend night.

Three prime examples of the uniquely San Franciscan full-floor flat, these Post-Victorians come with their own quirks. Sometimes, they can seem long and narrow, but also offer a lot in their generous proportions, traditional details, and privacy.

This weekend Angelenos (yes, even those on the Eastside) can tour a grand total of 36 stunning abodes on back-to-back home tours. Start with Saturday’s annual Venice Garden and Home Tour and, on Sunday, move onto round two of AIA|LA’s 2012 Spring Home Tours Series, Palisades to Brentwood.

One of San Francisco's oldest extant farmhouses is on the market— and turns into a history lesson.

The realtor doesn't come right and say "tear me down" but uses coded brokerbabble— "Unique opportunity to create your own estate on over 1/3 acre in prime Beverly Hills…" We can see it in a 21st-Century remake of the noir classic "Sunset Boulevard." You can go see it before it disappears.

Cutting-edge when it was finished in 2000, 369 Upper Terrace is a renovated Mid-Century with views to the Pacific Ocean. It still looks great. If you have time for one open house this weekend, this is it.
