Weekend Getaway

This property spoke to me the moment I entered and saw the enchanted garden, with wonderful old oaks, towering cedars and redwoods, magnolias, and giant bird-of-paradise palms. A two-bedroom, two-bath retreat with a lovely lap pool, it is my serene happy place. The house started life as a bungalow, probably built in 1909 for the field hands who tended to the original forty- acre citrus grove. The late designer James Northcutt gave the house its first charming face-lift. We have decorated it for ease—a blend of simple surfaces, canvas slipcovers, accents of blue and white, and a few sentimental pieces, including an antique mirror from Michael Taylor’s house— as a peaceful sanctuary from what I do every day for others.

A cozy living room reminiscent of a weekend getaway, featuring two white armchairs, blue patterned pillows, a central ottoman, zebra rug, and a lit fireplace. Above the mantel is a mirror, flanked by wall sconces and lamps. Green plants and blue decorative items are displayed throughout the room.
Sunlit kitchen with wood cabinets, an island with a blue-striped cloth, a rustic stool, woven baskets on top shelves, and a metal lantern-style light fixture—perfect for capturing the charm of a weekend getaway. Open windows fill the space with fresh air, while a bar cart by the window stands ready for impromptu gatherings. Potted plants and glassware add decorative touches to this inviting retreat.
Bright bedroom with a four-poster canopy bed, blue and white bedding, cream walls, large windows, framed bird art, bedside tables with flowers, and French doors opening to a leafy balcony—perfect for a weekend getaway. Natural light fills the cozy, inviting space.
A cozy home office with a wooden desk facing a large window evokes the charm of a weekend getaway. The desk holds plants, books, lamps, and ornaments. Two decorative chairs are in front, with framed art on the cream walls and a patterned rug underfoot. Bright natural light fills the room.
Cozy bedroom with a blue and white patterned four-poster bed, matching curtains, and bedding—perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. A wooden side table with a lamp, books, and flowers sits by French doors leading to a bright porch. Ceiling fan and soft natural light complete the serene scene.
A rectangular outdoor pool with clear blue water beside four cushioned lounge chairs under a large umbrella, surrounded by lush green trees, shrubs, and large terracotta planters, creates a serene garden setting perfect for a weekend getaway on a sunny day.
