THE PO~TOFI-NO • This house leads two lives as you
will see. Its formal life is expressed in the private side entrance, the high-ceilinged, breezeway entry, the curved elegant stair-
case with its graceful balustrade treatment. Even the 24-foot living room has more:the air of a drawing room. Dramatic high
ceiling. exposed beams. step-down conversation area with hooded fireplace~' are :a~ded virtues that make for entertaining on
the grand scale. (Did you notice that the entire width of the fireplace wall is bric~·t() ftrepla~ height? Nice touch.) If it's a
sit-down dinner, yout commodious dining rOOIJl will accommodate 6 or 8 guests easily. The Portofino leads a casual country
sort of life. too. The kitchen, breakfast area and family room are surrounded on .u: sides by windows and sliding glass doors,
which overlook the large patio courtyard (perfect for a pool. by~ way).• Upstairs. are two roomy bedrooms sharing an
adjacent bathroom, and a master suite styled in the usual Wesdakc Hills rnanper·~., in' this case, a sloped-ceiling retreat
nearly 27 feet long! (Are you ready for an oval tub you step up to.?)'• We've saved'poss1bly the bestfor l'ast. Notice the space
in back of the garage, please. The Idea Space ... aptly named becau•· we have no idea what you'll make of it. The Idea Space
was designed to enable you, the homeowner, to enlarge your Portofino to accommodate the varying needs of your growing
family. Are you getting the idea?
