Buy Your Own California Lighthouse; Waterfront At Lake Tahoe

CALIFORNIA — If you love a beautiful view there are several homes for sale in California that will calm your heartbeat at the end of the day. A wall of windows brings in the ocean view at this Santa Cruz home. Take a look at this home right on the shore of Lake Tahoe. This Mill Valley home has Bay views with San Francisco in the distance. It's California Dreaming complete with palm trees and a sunset over the Pacific in San Clemente. And here's a cliff-top home with its own lighthouse in Laguna Beach.

If you love glorious, Old California architecture, the home in Palo Alto will melt your heart. Are you from New England and you can't shake your love for Colonial style? You'll appreciate this Napa home. If your heart thrills at the sight of a stately brick home, look at this beauty in Danville. How about a bungalow in Redwood City? Mid-Century Modern dials up the cool factor in Palm Desert.

It has been heartbreaking to watch beautiful homes burn in Southern California wildfires this week. Out of respect for those who have lost everything, and those who are still in harm's way, Patch did not feature any Wow Houses in Los Angeles County this week. There are a few homes from Orange and Riverside counties with all the rest from Northern California.
