Honestly, one of my favorite things about these cliffside homes is that you will always be in great shape from taking those stairs all the time! Built-in workout!

This view is so dull, I can't bear to look at these boring mountains and this awful lake one minute longer.

There's a struggle here between getting lost in a book and getting lost in the view. I suppose it's a win either way.

Surround it with the gaudiest tiles known to humankind. That should distract from the beauty of the ocean.

Nothing like a giant blank wall to invite people into your home from the street. Dark interiors are all the rage.

I don't find myself to be agoraphobic but if faced with a vastness like this, I might develop it. I'd like to keep my house on a slight hill and my pool in the ground.

I'd turn into the pruniest prune who ever pruned if I ever spent any time here because I would never ever get out of the tub!
