One Hillwood home is for sale on Croom Drive for $299,900 and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms within 3,553 square feet of living space. The home was built in 1963 but was remodeled in 2012. (Contributed)(Photo: Contributed)

Hillwood offers spacious homes for families who want to spread out as well as patio designs for empty nesters fond of living in Midtown Montgomery.

The neighborhood stretches from Zelda Road in the west to near Perry Hill Road in the east. Hillwood homes line Vaughn Road and lots back up to Interstate 85 in the north.

Dozens of family homes rest on larger lots, many with mature shade-providing trees. Near Zelda Road, patio homes provide retirees and empty nesters with low-maintenance living in the middle of all that Midtown has to offer.

Hillwood is centrally located with Interstate access quickly at Perry Hill and Zelda Road, Realtor Ryan Beesley said. The Zelda Road shopping and dining corridor is minutes away by car, and really within walking distance. Vaughn Road Park is minutes away. Hillwood has large lots and mature trees.

Hillwood features custom-built homes, constructed from as early as 1964, Beesley said. A Hillwood address is also close to shopping in Old Cloverdale. The popularity of the location has led many homeowners to remodel houses.

Hillwood is a good mixture of single and two-story homes, he said. Hillwood is a very settled neighborhood. And as the name implies, lots of mature trees and lots of neighbors out walking. It is a very friendly neighborhood of well-maintained homes. Lots of older homes have been remodeled to current taste and style, especially in the kitchens and bathrooms.

One home is for sale on Croom Drive for $299,900, and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms within 3,553 square feet of living space. The home was built in 1963 but was remodeled in 2012. The home is the best price per foot in the neighborhood, Beesley said. The remodeling provided stunning updates and appeal. The rooms are large.

The renovation resulted in a gourmet kitchen, four large bedrooms, including two master suites, and the other two bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bath. A fireplace, covered outdoor living area, garage and parking pad add to the appeal of the home.

The design also includes a half bath off the laundry room as well as another half bath near the den. The remodeling including many upgrades, Beesley said.

Many people have lived in Hillwood for generations, Beesley said. And lots of younger professionals have moved in as well. The neighborhood has lots of character and charm.

WASHINGTON, DC The Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC), an organization that represents 25 construction trade associations, has updated its guidance for construction-related business owners, employees and subcontractors regarding coronavirus exposure prevention, preparedness and response.

The CISCs Coronavirus Preparedness & Response Plan applicable for home builders, residential remodelers and related industry professionals describes how to prevent worker exposure to coronavirus, protective measures to be taken on jobsites, personal protective equipment and work-practice controls to be used, cleaning and disinfecting procedures, and what to do if a worker becomes sick.

The updates include significant revisions and additions to the CISCs original guidelines related to COVID-19, including: new guidance on the use of face coverings, including masks and cloth coverings; a new section, Guidance for Critical Infrastructure Employers, based on CDC guidance; procedures for screening and allowing visitors onto jobsites, and an appendix on the procedures for monitoring the temperature of workers.

The safety plan is customizable for companies vying to meet state requirements for a coronavirus response plan and includes a graphic-based poster intended for display, according to the CISC.

Thomas Bjorn's chip shot goes a little right during an instructional video.

twitter.com/thomasbjorngolf

Thomas Bjorn provided a window into how to play like a professional golfer.

Now he needs a new one.

As part of the Callaway Golf Tour Tips series, the longtime pro and 2018 European Ryder Cup captain broke down a chipping drill on a video earlier this week. He set up a green mat inside his home in London, plopped down a few balls and opened the glass doors into his patio to demonstrate.

His lesson focused on using one arm to chip. It helps with body movement in the stroke. It takes away wrist movement.

Ideally.

Bjorns first shot rocketed through one of the windows next to his patio door.

When you try and film a @CallawayGolfEU Tour Tip but you havent picked up a club since Feb! he tweeted.

His fellow pros broke down after his breakdown. Even the Callaway company.

It tweeted a picture of orange practice balls which are softer.

Hi @thomasbjorngolf, Your recently ordered package of practice balls are on their way to you! Many thanks, #TeamCallaway the company tweeted.

On a video released Saturday, Bjorn gave the full instruction. And he hit three balls through the opening. Without a scratch.

So hitting pitch shots, one of the great exercises you can do is to hit them with one arm because it enables you to be able to turn the body instead of just using your arms, he said. If you only use your arms, then your hands will break down because of the weight of the club. So what I try and do is I stand up with one arm and try and turn, which is now the camera, and to the ball and through.

Good stuff.

One Twitter user liked the initial lesson more.

This one is so much more boring without windows being broke tweeted @delaney_rob

San Francisco | $1.595 MillionA condominium unit in a Victorian house built in 1900 and recently renovated, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms

This house, which now contains two residential units, was built in 1900 and recently renovated by Jeff Schlarb Design Studio. (Mr. Schlarbs studio occupies the buildings ground-floor commercial space.) It is in the Presidio Heights neighborhood, within walking distance of well-known restaurants, the Sacramento Street Shopping District, known for its concentration of high-end design stores, and the Laurel Heights campus of the University of California, San Francisco. The Presidio, an 18th-century Spanish fort and the beloved outdoor space that surrounds it, is four blocks away.

Size: 1,435 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,111

Indoors: A short staircase leads from the ground level to the units front door and a foyer with a frosted-glass window and refinished hardwood floors. Down a hallway is an open living-and-dining area with graphic wallpaper on one wall, a marble fireplace and sliding-glass doors that open to a deck. The dining space flows into a windowed kitchen with marble counters, room for a breakfast table and an adjacent pantry space.

The bedrooms are also off the main hallway. Closest to the living area is a guest room with three windows and space for a queen-size bed. Across the hall is a bathroom with a stall shower and a single vanity.

At the end of the hall is the master suite, with a decorative fireplace and a bay of windows looking out at the Victorian houses across the street. A small adjoining room could be used as an office or a nursery. The en suite bathroom has a double vanity and a combination tub and shower.

Outdoor space: Off the main living area is a deck with space for a small table and chairs, and south-facing views of the San Francisco skyline.

Taxes: $19,459 (estimated)

The section of the Hollywood Hills surrounding Laurel Canyon is known for its privacy: Many of the homes are on twisty, dead-end streets, and driveways are so steep its easy to miss them. This house is on the outskirts of the Mount Olympus neighborhood, which is equally private, but within walking distance of the Sunset Strip. Central Hollywood is 10 minutes away by car, and downtown Los Angeles is a 30-minute drive.

Size: 1,324 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,171

Indoors: A steep driveway leads to the front yard, which is landscaped with succulents. Stairs paved in terra-cotta ascend to the front door, which opens to a small foyer. A wide, arched doorway divides the entry from the living room, which has dark wood floors and stucco walls.

The owner, who bought the house in 2018, updated it but retained much of its 1920s charm, including the centerpiece of the living room: a fireplace with a brick hearth and its original plaster ornamentation.

Two sets of French doors open to a street-facing balcony. Above, overlooking the living area, is the dining room, with its own small patio. Behind it is the kitchen, which was refreshed by the owner several years ago. White cabinets with white marble counters line the walls, and a laundry nook is tucked into one corner.

The hallway behind the living and dining rooms connects two of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms. The master, which has two walk-in closets, looks out onto the street and has access to the rear patio. The second bedroom, currently used as a den, also has access to the patio. Between the bedrooms is a bathroom with a copper vanity and a glass-walled walk-in shower.

The third bedroom is down a hallway behind the kitchen. It has room for a queen-size bed, and access to a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Outdoor space: Nearly every room in the house is connected to outdoor space. Off the living room is a front-facing patio with a Spanish-tile floor and a roof overhang for shade. Along the back of the house is a larger patio that could be used as an outdoor dining room. A third small patio, accessible through one of the bedrooms, has a terra-cotta fountain. The attached garage holds one car.

Mendocino, on the North Coast of California, was founded in the 1850s as a logging community. This house was built by a lumberman named Charles Cavanaugh, and sits next to Mendocino Presbyterian Church, built in 1868 and one of the oldest continuously operating Protestant churches in California. Today, the community attracts artists and weekenders, drawn by the ocean views and abundance of bed-and-breakfasts and cozy restaurants. The small-town seaside vibe of Mendocino was immortalized on the television series Murder, She Wrote, where it stood in for coastal Maine.

This property backs up to about 75 acres of parkland and is within walking distance of Big River Beach, where the Big River meets the Pacific Ocean. San Francisco is about a three-and-a-half-hour drive to the south.

Size: 1,700 square feet

Price per square foot: $938

Indoors: Turning onto the driveway from the street takes you past a garage and a cottage used as an art studio. A wooden footpath leads from the cottage to the main house.

The front door, inset with a marine-themed stained-glass window, opens into a living room with a fireplace, hardwood floors and white-painted ceiling beams and crown molding, as well as French doors that open to a deck. A half bathroom sits between the fireplace and a staircase to the upper level.

To the right of the living room is an open dining and kitchen area. Built-in storage forms a window seat along one wall, and a marble breakfast bar faces the kitchen, which has new stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink, as well as a separate bar area and wine refrigerator. A small hallway off the kitchen leads to the laundry room, a walk-in pantry and a door to the yard.

On the second level, at the top of the stair landing is a bathroom with a double-vanity topped in white marble and a separate shower and soaking tub. Just down from the bathroom are the two bedrooms. The master has a wall of windows looking out over the deck to the ocean in the distance; the second bedroom, has sloped ceilings and space for a full-size bed and a desk.

Outdoor space: Off the living room is a large deck with a hot tub, overlooking the beach. There are three additional structures on the property: a guest cottage with room for two beds; another cottage, closer to the street, that could be used as a home office or an art studio; and a detached garage with space for two cars.

Taxes: $17,688 (estimated)

$1.6 Million Homes in California - The New York Times

Workers at the McDonalds restaurant on San Franciscos Fillmore Street went on strike Thursday, saying that their colleagues are falling ill but must still come to work.

According to a Wednesday tweet from the East Bay chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), at least one worker planned to strike Thursday after discovering confirmed cases of COVID-19 among her co-workers and no response from management.

At the April 30 demonstration, numerous cooks and cashiers told the San Francisco Chronicle that at least four employees of the restaurant at 1100 Fillmore Street had tested positive for the new coronavirus (COVID-19). The group also made a complaint to the San Francisco Department of Public Health, alleging that employees have come to work while visibly sick, and when personal protective equipment was in short supply at the restaurant, employees were told to wear coffee filters as masks.

Peter Ou, the franchisee who owns and operates that McDonalds (and who also sold the notoriously troubled Haight and Stanyan McDonalds to the city of San Francisco for a reported $10 million in 2017), denies the claims that any workers have fallen ill, and says that the restaurant is in full compliance with all state-level orders, including sick pay and PPE requirements. Meanwhile, company-owned McDonalds in the U.K. will reopen on May 13, despite health and safety concerns from workers, who are asking how theyll be able to find personal protective equipment (PPE) to wear to work when healthcare workers in the region remain unsupplied.

SF McDonalds Workers Protest Over Alleged Lack of Coronavirus Protections - Eater SF

The goal of the house, aesthetically, was the integration of all the parts and pieces, rather than just letting things float on their own, says Williams. That seamless design aesthetic manifests in details large and small. More plate-glass railings on the interior stairs eliminate any visual barrier between front door and main floor, whichhouses Parhams essential living spaces: media room, kitchen and master suite. Theres also not a door hinge in sight on this floor; pocket doors disappear into walls, and massive sliding glass doors whoosh quietly open to the courtyard and deck, flooding the space with fresh air as well as brilliant daylight.

In the kitchen, granite countertops flecked with royal blue inspired the azure back-painted glass behind the stove (also a sleek disguise for the kitchen exhaust hood) and coffee bar. These saturated colors sizzle against the muted blond and dark wood cabinets, which conceal a staggering amount of storage space. Customizable LED track lighting above the kitchen and living areas enables Parham to continually tweak his illumination, and a tomato-red light fixture (a dimmable, 4,000-Kelvin color temperature LED, which appears much closer to natural light than the traditional Edison bulb) pops like a piece of contemporary art, complementing the Saarinen Tulip chairs and table below. Im very particular about my lighting, says Parham, who says he prefers natural daylight whenever possible. So, every fixture in the house is dimmable, unless its in the garage or the mechanical room. Even the closets.

Through another light-sealing pocket door, the media room, built to Parhams own design specifications, features a full Dolby Atmos sound system, four cushy movie-theater-style chairs, a bar with stool seating and well-vented rollout racks for storing all the necessary A/V equipment. (LED lights are set inside those tech cabinets, so nothing distracts from a film should a cabinet be opened during a screening.) I spend a lot of time in this room every day, says Parham, a self-described movie buff. In the master bedroom, another projector screen can drop down from the ceiling at the touch of a button, as can motorized shades that obscure the wall-size glass door that opens from the bedroom onto the courtyard. Im kind of a home-automation buff, too, he says.

Materials inside and out were chosen for their durability, sustainability and simple as is beauty. Unpainted concrete and clear-coated aluminum exteriors are juxtaposed against a backdrop of greenery, and brick and cedar accents combat what Williams describes as a perennial aesthetic problem with suburban lots: the street-facing garage. Look closely, Williams says, and youll notice that, in addition to the overhead doors, theres a main door leading into the garage, but all those edges meld into the pattern of the cedar, making the garage a less prominent design feature. Were trying to draw peoples eyes to the front door and the main body of the house, Williams says.

Four years into his residence here, Parham is never quite done making adjustments; he says the new acoustic panels he recently installed in the media room have greatly improved the sound quality, and hes always modifying his lights. But not to worry, says Williams, while sharing with Parham a beloved proverb of unverifiable origin: The man who finishes his house, dies, Williams says, with a laugh. So youve gotta keep at it.

One of the first events held at the Richfield Regency was a 1965 tribute to Jed Graef, a Verona swimmer who won a gold medal in backstroke the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Since then it is fair to estimate that hundreds of Veronans have passed through the Richfields glass doors, including Michael Schumell. He won the April 27 edition of Doors Of Verona by being the first of three people who guessed the Richfield, and for his guess won a $25 gift certificate to The Guac Spot. If you havent eaten there yet (its open for curbside pickup and delivery), The Guac Spot serves up some delicious twists on tacos, quesadillas and burritos like candied apple pork, bourbon chicken and sweet potato chickpea.

Todays winner will get a gift certificate to Hillcrest Farms, which carries plenty of flowers to brighten your patio or front walk.

A gated and fully remodeled beachfront house in the exclusive coastal community of Montecito, California, hit the market on Wednesday for $25 million.

The owner of the Santa Barbara County home is Hadi Makarechian, a real estate developer and philanthropist and a member of the governing board of the University of California. Mr. Makarachian owns several properties and is selling his beach house with plans to build an equestrian estate on a large-acreage property he already owns in Santa Barbara, Mr. Smith said.

Hes just not spending as much time at the house, Mr. Smith said. Mr. Makarachian was not immediately available for comment.

Inventory of luxury homes in coastal southern California is down 40% over the last eight weeks, Mr. Smith said, and the owner thought it was a good time to put the home on the market. Were not seeing many other options that are modern like this one.

Amenities include a vanishing-edge pool, large terraces with multiple seating areas and a heated loggia. A private rear patio features an outdoor kitchen and a fireplace with a pizza oven, according to the listing. In all, there is nearly 6,000 square feet of living, finished or covered space on a 26,000-square-foot lot.

I used to love sitting on a swing in my backyard at night and listening to music. It was, and still is, very cathartic because I basically live right on the edge of a fairly large and densely wooded area. Anyways, one night, around maybe 10 p.m. or so, I decided to go sit on the swing. I gathered my jacket, headphones and a beer, and walked outside. Immediately upon stepping onto my driveway, I got this really weird feeling, like I was being watched. Thinking nothing of it, I started walking towards the swing set.

Every step that I took, that uneasy feeling got stronger and stronger, until it had almost reached panicky levels. I could feel it in my stomach, my body suddenly felt very cold and at this point, I accepted that I was subconsciously alarmed about something. I came to a complete stop about 10 feet away from the swings and began to look around and at the woods. Something was seriously wrong. It felt different being outside.

I tried to force the weirdness out of my mind, but as I settled down onto the swing, I was afraid. I got through maybe half of a song, and somehow this feeling had continued to get stronger. It felt urgent. I've never been worried like that before. But in that moment, it hit me like an epiphany I felt like prey.

I turned my music off and just sat, beer forgotten, looking around and at the woods. Physically, I couldn't take it. I could barely breathe, so I jumped off the swing and SPRINTED back inside, closed and locked the door, checked all the doors and windows, closed all the curtains, turned on all the lights and surrounded myself with an arsenal of weapons. I could still feel it, but it slowly faded.

The next morning, I saw my friend out by his car. So, I walked over and started telling him about my experience last night. Apparently, and he lives two houses down from me, he walked outside to stretch before his run that night and felt a weird vibe. As he walked to the end of his driveway, it got stronger and he started getting nervous. He started running and stopped after a few feet, turned his music off and scanned the woods. Then, he started running again, got to my driveway and was so scared, uncomfortable and freaked out that he just decided to call it quits for the night. He also said that he literally felt like prey being stalked by something evil. It was exactly, almost to the tee, how I'd felt.

I have absolutely no idea what it was and it hasn't happened again since. But now I only swing facing the woods and I carry a bat down there with me, just in case.
