Listing Price $3,850,000

Kessler Comments: This is one of several larger homes that have been built or are being built on Lorna Lane. There seems to be a trend of developing larger estate properties on this street not unlike what has gone on with some of the properties south of Montana, West of Bundy. The house itself has good scale and nice Mediterranean architecture. The decoration is a little too ornate for my taste but a new owner will have a nice canvas to work with.

Sorry but there was no "Coolest House On Caravan" worth mentioning this week. This is mostly likely due to the holiday weekend!
