Some homes are just happy. It is more than décor and finishings; it’s a feeling. It’s a tickle or a tingle, but it makes the corners of your mouth turn up a little when you find it. 1408 San Simeon is one of those homes. It could be the cheerful red shutters and front door with the classic brass accents or the spot on the patio that is just the right size for a cozy bistro table and chairs. Maybe it’s the wash of sunlight that bathes the entryway, showing off the brand-new designer flooring and fresh paint, drawing your eyes to the vaulted ceilings and the tucked-away loft space overhead. Is it the bathrooms? Both were recently renovated with stylish tilework and on-trend fixtures. Maybe…It could also be the freshly remodeled kitchen, done in warm white tones with gold accents. It’s definitely the view. Sweeping canyon and city light vistas envelop a backyard that begs for a BBQ, a hula-hoop contest, and a glass of wine as the lights twinkle on, and you finally settle down. An oversized two-car garage is large enough to house many things on wheels, from tricycles to bicycles and even a car or two. Does that bring you joy, though? It could, if you’ve been dreaming of a home gym with a view, or a place to tinker that enjoys ocean breezes. Maybe it is happy simply because you are happy, here. Whatever causes or creates it, this is a feeling you must experience for yourself and one you’ll want to have every day. Admiring a happy home is fun, but actually owning one means that a joyful celebration is always with you, in the form of a shiny new key, to your bright red front door.
