The 1949 Chester Carjola–designed 2166 Mission Ridge Road (↓$345K to $4.95M) is a really pretty example of Spanish Colonial Revival style—and the addition of an upstairs master suite fits in seamlessly. Paint the exterior a creamy white and make the interiors a little less Old World, and you’d have a special Riviera villa.

The one-of-a-kind “Castle in the Sky” at 1230 Toro Canyon Road (↓$350K to $1.35M) slashed its price and went pending. (I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that inspection.) If it does sell, here’s hoping we get invited to the pool party for the “partially complete, wrap-around swimming pool/moat [that] leads to an indoor hot tub grotto.”

It’s been a long slide for 705 Riven Rock Road (↓$1M to $12.9M), which started out listed at $18.5 million in June of 2018. At 10,800 square feet on 3.4 acres, this is a lot of house and priced to move. P.S. The listing includes doctored photos that helpfully show what the house would look like painted white.

610 E. Pedregosa Street (↓$100K to $1.85M), where the Upper East meets the Lower Riviera, could use a more cosmopolitan aesthetic, the better to show off the 1926 house’s bones. Still, the sunroom is a treat.

The craftsmanship at the “Japanese farmhouse” at 1399 School House Road (↓$195K to $4.1M) is palpable; the floor plan, however, is a challenge. If you really do spend all your time in the kitchen, this could be the house for you. / Open Sunday, 2-4 p.m.
