What if a home’s true beauty was hidden behind a modest facade?
Step into 427 Santa Ana in Newport Beach, where architect Karl Dakteris has crafted a stunning surprise! The charming exterior blends perfectly with the neighborhood, but inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings and breathtaking views that draw you into an expansive living space.
Imagine a sleek glass staircase leading to a family room that opens up to a shimmering pool through folding glass doors—it's like living in a dream! ✨ Project manager Kristine Flynn describes it perfectly: “You walk inside and—boom!”
With exquisite details like Legno Bastone wide-plank flooring, an immaculate kitchen with elegant Dekton® countertops, and an ADU for guests or rental income, this home seamlessly merges style and practicality.
As Kristine says, “Walking through the front door, you’re immediately surprised by the beauty that unfolds.”

"Art that alters perception—literally." Fred Tomaselli’s striking works at Laguna Art Museum blended fantasy, nature, and current events in a way only he can. A son of Orange County turned Brooklyn-based visionary, his pieces transform everyday materials—newspapers, pills, and paint—into hypnotic narratives of our time. The exhibition may have ended, but his impact endures.

We’re taking a moment to look back at September’s Second Annual CASA Classic at Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point—a day that brought the community together for an incredible cause.
138 golfers hit the scenic, ocean-view course and helped raise over $76,000 to support CASA of Orange County’s mission of providing mentorship and advocacy for foster youth. From Bloody Mary bars and breakfast burritos to challenges like “Beat the Pro” and hole-in-one prizes for a Harley-Davidson and TACORI bracelet, it was a day filled with fun, purpose, and impact.
It’s events like these that remind us of the power of community here in coastal Orange County.
