There are so many beautiful new listings on the market right now! First up: On an exclusive cul-de-sac nestled between the Mesa and Hope Ranch, this home enjoys unobstructed 180 degree views, just one of which is shown here: looking down onto the iconic scene of Hendry’s Beach. The 1961 home sits on 1.28 acres and has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a detached studio, plus an unfinished basement. 3029 Seacliff is offered by Mike and Kyle Richardson. Here is a video tour, and if you want to see more, contact Mike & Kyle.

Next up is a rare mid-town beauty that truly is in the perfect location: upper east, but not too far upper; downtown but not too far down. 315 E. Micheltorena is full of old world charm — built in 1890! — and it’s been completely renovated with modern luxury in mind. I loved it inside and out, but what caught my eye was the gorgeous blue kitchen with a forget-me-not colorful tiled backsplash. Offered by DK Group for $1,550,000 — and it’s open from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. today.

I was immediately smitten by yet another kitchen whose backsplash sports pops of color — and it’s outside! The entire house at 49 Cedar Lane is breathtaking: elegant designer vibes, and inviting, warm, and comfortable. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with indoor and outdoor living spaces that blend into one gorgeous experience. The kitchen above looks out onto an expansive back patio with a killer sunken firepit and a big green lawn beyond. I think I could live entirely in this outdoor oasis! Offered by Calcagno and Hamilton for $2,995,000.

In last week’s newsletter I mentioned my current wardrobe-clearing project: To pare down my wardrobe enough to empty a huge dresser in my bedroom. Well … I did it! And now I have an empty wall space waiting for me to decide how I want to rearrange my room. I’ll figure it out, and I’ll let you know. Meanwhile, this article came just a little too late for me: “Love It Or Leave It?” is where the editors at Emily Henderson blog help readers decide whether a piece of furniture is worth keeping; and if not, what might work best in its place. Somehow it feels more fun to work with other people’s spaces — and other people’s money! And really fun to read along.

If you haven’t seen our Weddings Issue yet, take a peek. It’s chock-full of info and ideas, along with enough sweetness to bring a smile to even a cynic’s eye. Our real estate section this week has a gorgeous pool home on the cover, and tons more inside. Scout and I will be out scouting open homes this weekend, with frequent stops at the beach to stand sentinel with the palm trees as shown above. However you spend your Sunday, enjoy!
