history 101Lets say youve got $2.4 million smolets say youve got $2.4 million smolets -dering in your wallet and youre craving a nest in Santa Barbara. Ah, heres one: three bedrooms, two baths, on a mountain overlooking the city. Nice. Just sign on the dotted

Wait! For that same money, you could buy Johnsonville, Connecticut buy Johnsonville, Connecticut buy Johnsonville, Connecticut not just a house there the whole village. The deal comes with some empty houses (its a ghost town), a covered bridge, a wooden dam, and a waterfall. The old mill village drew a high bid of $1.9 million a year ago, but the sale fell through. Now its back on the market for $2.4 million.

Hmm, tough one. In Johnsonville, you could possibly stroll around your village, going all feudal with your vassals, and then demand a nice lunch by your waterfall. In Santa Barbara, people are nice but not serf nice.

Well, $2.4 million also happens to be the median price for a home in Santa Bar-bara, according to PropertySharks annual list. That puts our city 12th on the list. The number one zip code is, once again, in the heart of The Hamptons: Sagaponack, Long Island, New York, with a median price tag of $5.125 million.

While researching the most expensive zip codes in the country, I also stumbled upon a Wall Street Journal story about Wall Street Journal story about Wall Street JournalDennis Franz and his real-estate-devel-oper wife, Joanie Franz, buying a house in Montecito in 2010 for $2.15 million. It caught my eye because of the link between Santa Barbara and The Hamptons. The story was headlined A Hamptons-Style Home in California, and photos do reveal that its Hamptonic.

First of all, Im a big Dennis Franz fan. Among other things, he played Detective Andy Sipowicz on the fabulous NYPD Blue, one of the greatest pairings since pas-trami on rye. Also, hes originally from the Midwest (Illinois) like me (Ohio). And, for a price tag under the current median, he bought a Hamptons-style house, with the porch and everything, instead of a castle. (Yes, it was post-crash 2010, but still.)

Incidentally, Dennis recently gave a rare interview to the New York Post and said he New York Post and said he New York Posthas no qualms about stepping away from the limelight after 12 seasons (and four Emmys) on NYPD Blue. I just wanted to live an enjoyable, irresponsible, spend-time-with-my-family kind of life. I havent regretted one minute of it. Im pretty good

at doing nothing. You gotta love Dennis Franz. And hes a Santa Barbaran!

As it happens, before we moved to Santa Barbara, we lived in an UnHampton not too far from Sagaponack. House prices

werent as crazy, but they werent exactly cheap. Now were house hunting in Santa Barbara with a terrific realtor whos work-ing hard, but its a challenge since were apparently not the only people who want to live in paradise. In other words, weve jumped from the real estate frying pan into the fire.

Here, fittingly, was one of the first com-ments I heard on this situation, and it came in an email from none other than The Santa Barbara Independents own Nick Santa Barbara Independents own Nick Santa Barbara IndependentWelsh. What made you move out here? he asked. An irresistible urge to feed the real estate beast?

That was not it. n

history 101Ive always been more of a jeans and flip-flops person than a ball-gown and high-heels person. As a parent, I always let my kids get sandy at the beach and muddy on hikes. If something wasnt washable, it didnt belong in our house. So the houses Ive lived in have always felt lived in. We had chickens in downtown Santa Bar-bara at a craftsman we called The Club-house, and we had an overgrown, fenceless adobe on the Mesa that allowed the kids to explore to their hearts content.

So you may not be surprised to hear that Ive never been much for Montecito. Sorry, realtor friends, but its true. Mon-tecito has always felt a little too mani-cured and snobby for me. I like to know my neighbors and be able to walk into the market in my pjs when I run low on half-and-half.

Well, my Montecito attitude changed last week when I visited 145 Olive Mill Lane. Its neither rustic nor casual, but this

home feels comfortable. Its a beautiful adult clubhouse with fun details galore, and its walking distance to Montecito Caf, Los Arroyos, and CVS on Coast Vil-lage Road. I loved this house before I even got inside the front gate. The multicol-ored bougainvillea curled and clamored over the curved exterior wall. The address numbers gleamed from behind an iron placard, reminding me of abalone shining in the morning sun. The custom lantern hanging near the rounded front gate gave me pause, but once I walked through the entryway, I recognized my surroundings and knew I was in for a one-of-a-kind treat.

This house was designed by area architect Jeff Shelton. Everyone knows his distinctive, whimsical works in Santa Barbara, so I recognized his trademark style right away. But I had never before been to one of his private residences. This one is special. Im no architectural expert; I just go by what feels good. This home feels livable, likable, and fun.

As I walk toward the front door, the curved archways remind me of an Italian farmhouse or stable. Through the archway is a long, breezy hallway reminiscent of

a hacienda. When I step into the living room, I notice the super-high ceiling and huge window perfectly comple-ment the relatively small room with its built-in shelves and nooks. A distinctive stairway beckons up one side of the room, with artfully arranged Saltillo tile steps echoed by a cutout stair-step wall and paired with a playful, curved iron handrail leading upstairs.

Built in 2009, the house has three bed-rooms and three and a half baths, a gour-met kitchen, a study, and a workout room. Outside there is a bocce-ball court, a great courtyard with a fountain and a wood fire-place, and plenty of patio space to enjoy the beautiful yard designed by renowned area landscape architect Isabelle Greene. Inside and out, so many thoughtful ele-ments, from the fixtures to the finishes, invite one to pause and appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry.

This house is comfortable in its own skin. It invites you to smile at its details and relax awhile in its cozy corners and sunny spaces. The new owner of this house should be prepared for fun because this house is ready to have fun for years to come. And should you find yourself out of half-and-half, theyll likely laugh with younot at youwhen you run into CVS in your pjs.

history 101

Most of you are probably too young to remember the Gold Medallion homes of the 1960s. These modern,

state-of-the-art, all-electric homes were promoted as the best and cleanest homes on the market. Within a few years, as elec-tricity costs increased, they became the Edsels of the housing market. However, I have come to believe that after a 50-year hiatus, all-electric homes are once again going to be the future. The reasons are quite different: Combined with solar-generated electricity, either on- or off-site,

such homes can free us from fossil-fuel use.

The Energy Star label, a federal pro-gram that rates the energy efficiency of appliances, enables shoppers to know-ingly purchase appliances that use the least energy to operate. Created in 1992, the program now covers 40,000 products and saves more than $24 billion (2012) in energy costs annually.

One energy-efficient electrical appli-ance that has been widely embraced in Europe and Asia is the magnetic-induc-tion cooktop. Because it directly heats a pan using magnetic fields, an induction unit can provide great power, instant adjustability, excellent thermal efficiency, and precise controlequal to or better than gas or electric resistance cookers. The energy efficiency of induction coils is approximately double that of gas burn-ersroughly 80 percent of the energy in the electricity gets used for cooking com-pared to 40 percent of the energy in gas.

Since the pot is heated directly, the cooking surface, usually a glass ceramic sheet, doesnt get warm except directly under the pot. Even there it gets only

moderately hot, making for a safer cook-ing environment and easier cleanup basically, no more burned fingers, no more baked-on spills, and less risk for children.

One concern I had was possible radia-tion exposure, but after looking at the scientific literature, mostly European studies, I became convinced that there are no radiation-associated hazards. On the plus side, indoor air quality is signifi-cantly better than with gas stoves. There arent any incompletely combusted resid-ual gases that accompany all gas units, a definite health hazard.

In the past, higher prices were a draw-back, but in recent years, prices have come down to be competitive with gas ranges.

Until five years ago, I thought I would never cook on anything but a gas range. None of the other options offered the control and power of a gas flame. Now,

with my induction stove top (run off solar), I have changed allegiance. Water boils three times faster, temperature adjusts instantly, it is safer, and it cleans up easier. I am a fan!
