The rain has stopped and we’ve got so many bright, colorful homes to share with you today! I received a sweet note this week from community icon and personal friend Steven Lovelace, who’s been teaching performing arts to local kids — including mine, who are now in their thirties! — for over forty years. Steven and his husband are packing up, selling their beloved home, and relocating to Joshua Tree. Their “beautiful mid-century dream condo” is located in Encina Royale , an over-55 development off Fairview in Goleta. As you can see, their place reflects Steven’s vibrant personality:

Subtle is not a word I would use to describe this delicious domicile. Two bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and over 1000 colorful square feet exude cheer and charisma. They are selling it FSBO, and invite anyone who would like to see it to stop by 313 Moreton Bay Lane #4 today from noon til 3 pm.
