3 Bed, 3 Bath, 2126 square feet. Isn’t this the most perfect looking house? I cannot tell which of these houses is the right one but here is an aerial view.

608 Randolph St, Napa, CA – $1.298 Million
4 Bed, 4 Bath, 4392 square feet. Known as the Gifford House. I found a fabulous article about the house here.

Be sure to visit the virtual tour for even more pics! Also has the original carriage house. Needs a little work (some of the pics show the water damage mentioned in the article.) The street view and the aerial view.

444 El Arroyo Rd, Hillsborough, CA – $5.998 Million
6 bed, 7 bath, 8000 square feet. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much by looking at the exterior. But the interior is quiet impressive, especially the ceilings! Check out the street view here. And here is an aerial view of the back of the house.

645 Prospect Crescent, Pasadena, CA – $5.95 Million
4 bed, 4 bath, 4230 square feet. Known as The Millard House, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was “the first residence to utilize Wright’s highly inventive textile block building system.” Funny that Wright thought concrete was ugly (which it is if you Plain Jane it.) There is a slew of information on Wikipedia. Aerial view can be seen here.
