New book from Atomic Ranch puts our neighborhood on the map!

Do you know how cool the Streng Brothers modern style homes in our neighborhood are? Way cool baby! Atomic Ranch magazine has just released a new coffee table book called “Atomic Ranch, Design Ideas for Stylish Ranch Homes” and two homes from our very own neighborhood are featured in it! Ours and Tony and Donna Natsoulas’ homes are featured in the chapters called “Pure Fun” and, “Adding Personality”. Both articles include four pages of pictures and interviews.

If you are not aware of how popular the modern style homes in our neighborhood are becoming; you need to be! The mid-century modern style is all the rage now, and our own neighborhood features some of the most sought after Streng Brothers (the builders) designs. The modern style homes in our neighborhood were designed by the famous architect Carter Sparks, who also designed homes for Joseph Eichler in the 1950’s and 60’s. Homes in our neighborhood have been featured in Atomic Ranch and other magazines, the Bee, and on HGTV. If you have yet to embrace the modern style for your mid-century modern home, consider it for your next makeover!
