The object of this exterior project was to use water features to block out the sound from the
road traffic. The first feature created by Realty Restoration is a small four-sided fountain
made from limestone slabs pulled from a quarry on a ranch owned by the homeowner's
friends. The second water feature is a 3-foot wide negative edge spillway from the hot tub,
which splashes into the pool below. The focal point is three water spouts originating from a
stone/plaster screen wall near the rear of the property. The individually controlled spouts
adjust water dispersion based on the white noise being created.

This 1,500-square-foot man cave, carved out of separate attic spaces, added 22 percent
more usable living space to the home. When J. Hettinger Interiors and team were removing
surfaces, and it was discovered that the second floor bedroom ceilings protruded into the
space. A carpeted built-in bench was incorporated over that raised ceiling. A baseball
memorabilia gallery was created, complete with painted silhouettes of Yankee players and
a salvaged UC Berkeley bench to enhance the baseball theme. A zebrawood entertainment
center floats on the wall and is illuminated from below. A leather sectional and ottomans
provide seating for 12 sports fans.
