Glorieta, N.M.
Glorieta is about 20 minutes east of Santa Fe and has a population of fewer than 1,000. This adobe home sits on a gently sloping acre of forested land with mountain and valley views. It’s “country modern” with an open floor plan and high ceilings. Those huge windows provide tons of light throughout the whole house. The main living areas have wood beams, tile floors, a wood stove, fireplace and plenty of sky lights. The kitchen has been redesigned by a professional chef! There’s a lush garden on the grounds with views of the cliffs leading up to the mesa, as well as ponderosa, pinion, juniper and scrub oak, and even a chicken coop!

Easton, Md.
Easton was founded in 1710 and sits on the east shore of the Chesapeake Bay. This is the only house of its kind in Easton!

The windows are placed to give plenty of light with complete privacy. The entryway and living room have soaring ceilings. The open kitchen has blonde wood cabinets, a breakfast bar and plenty of storage, and there’s a separate garage with extra storage space.
