’Tis the season to pay homage to that bastion of adolescence that connects us all: the Lover’s Lane. Every town has that one spot with a view that seems to float above the bustle — much like young love (mine was Andre the Aardvark from homeroom) can float above the b.s. (Chem test the day after a pep rally) — and ours is the Termini Residence.
Former Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice James DeLong’s Mid Century Modern chef-d’oeuvre embodies this intrinsically Californian style’s openness, geometric simplicity, and natural harmony. The home’s defining feature is a breathtaking view that stretches across the city to the ocean, but don’t let the sensation of flying above the City of Angels distract you from this marvel’s delicate wood built-ins, cozy cove lighting, or rugged dual-terrace landscaping.
It’s Valentine’s Week — steal mom’s keys and go for a joyride up to a brick and mortar temple of love!
