Texas Sunrise (2013)
“Lush hibiscus and fragrant plumeria surrounded the estate. A monstrous banyan tree that resembled a giant umbrella shrouded the timeworn iron gates at the entrance to Maggie and Rand Nelson’s estate. The snakelike drive, which eventually widened and became circular, was edged on both sides by regal palms. The house itself was long, low, and sprawling, with the sparkling Pacific as a backdrop.
The house was spacious, yet not overlarge, and it gave off a cozy feeling of coolness and light, so different from Sunbridge, with its heavy leather furniture and somber colors. Every room opened to the outside. The French doors leading to the patio were sheltered from sun and rain by a sloping overhang of the tiled roof. Beautiful gardens were part of the view and seemed to come indoors to blend with the light bamboo furniture and vivid greens and whites of the walls. Graceful paddle fans, centered on every ceiling, created a pleasant breeze, and the tang of the sea far below seemed to fill each room.
