What We Love: This is not your recent, slick renovation, but a deeply personal home that’s clearly developed over the years. Plus it’s the perfect setting for a collection of Mid-Century furniture.

One of the best features is the classic Mid-Century atrium, sheltered from the sun by a lattice, with a koi pond and an ancient wooden gate leading to a deep lanai.

Above the pool, the huge site extends uphill with a series of terraces and paths, culminating in a cantilevered “treehouse”.
