This spectacular residence from Steve Hermann has it all: an enormous pool, large windows, incredible vistas and opulent, modern furniture. This is why we consider it to be a typical celebrity crib. Located in Nightingale Drive, Los Angeles, this home was sold in 2009 by American television producer and stand-up comedian Byron Allen for the sum of or $6,250,000. The residence has no less than four bedrooms and four bathrooms and the interior arrangements are truly majestic. Featuring very diverse and original wall designs, three different fireplaces and impressive contemporary decorating ideas, this house is as inspiring as it is glamorous. The pool is complemented with elegant seating items, perfect for resting and enjoying an amazing view. Even though at first it may seem like this place has all the clichés of a celebrity house, as the deep exploring begins, one may be surprised with its distinctive style.

Living in a houseboat is not for everyone but when you have modern houseboat while the one in the images below, you’re going to realize there’s only one thing to do. That’s fall in love with water and embrace your new-found life aboard this modern houseboat. The outer design doesn’t do justice to what you will find inside, and once you step through its doors you’ll forget you left the main land. The dominant color is white and it definitely is a great choice for both the large bedroom found at the lower level, and for the kitchen and living room found on the upper level. The modern but simple furniture and overall design lines are definitely going to make you fall in love with this houseboat and I see no reason for making this one a permanent home. Via Design Blog
