Sausalito | $999,000A floating house built in 1965, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms

Part of a community of 480 homes anchored in Richardson Bay, this three-level floating house has been remodeled in the last two years, with a new roof, kitchen, guest bathroom, furnace and interior paint. It is on Kappas Marina East Pier, with views of Mount Tamalpais. Restaurants, an organic grocery store, a private kindergarten-through-12th-grade school, banks, a post office and the Heath Ceramics factory and shop are all within a mile of the home. A Safeway supermarket is one highway exit northwest, in Mill Valley. Mail is deposited in a locked box at the entrance to the dock, and packages are delivered directly to the door.

Size: 1,288 square feet

Price per square foot: $776

Indoors: The main floor has the original oak-strip floors, a beamed ceiling and walls with bead-board trim. The kitchen has checkerboard linoleum floor tiles, granite countertops, a ceramic farmhouse sink, new stainless steel appliances and a pantry. It is opposite a long, built-in banquette.

Beyond the kitchen is a living room, with sliding-glass doors opening to a rear deck with an awning. The renovated bathroom on this level has a walk-in shower with white subway-tile walls and a navy hexagonal-tile floor. Storage is cunningly built into bathroom niches and under the central staircase.

The daylighted lower level includes a master bedroom with a sisal carpet and an en suite bathroom surfaced in Tuscan-style stone tile. A wall composed of multipaned windows divides the bedroom from an adjacent sitting room. A small office off the master bathroom is lined in shelves.

The narrow top level has a trapezoidal bedroom with drawers built into the bed.

Outdoor space: In addition to the front porch and rear deck, there is an upper side deck reached by climbing out of a large window. Views extend to the Sausalito headlands and San Francisco. The property comes with a private dock for storing and launching a kayak, as well as a pass to the community parking lot, where there are unassigned spaces. On this particular dock, dogs are not permitted unless they are service animals. Cats are allowed.

Taxes: $12,488 (estimated), plus an approximately $1,200 monthly docking fee

Completed in April, this two-story property just east of the Little Tuscany neighborhood is part of a development that will ultimately have 14 houses. Unlike many Palm Springs homes, this one has no homeowner association restrictions or fees, and you can own the land. It is within walking distance of much of downtown, including the Riviera Palm Springs and Arrive Palm Springs hotels (both half a mile south). Solar panels allow for reduced electricity costs.

Size: 2,213 square feet

Price per square foot: $450

Indoors: The house has a front yard landscaped with drought-resistant plants and is surrounded by a concrete privacy wall inset with glass blocks.

The living room has nine-foot ceilings, 24-inch-square white-porcelain floor tile and LaCantina glass doors that fold for access to the backyard, with its swimming pool and hot tub.

The kitchen has a stainless steel sink, Viking appliances and soft-close cabinetry with quartz countertops. An island that seats four separates it from the dining area. A laundry room with a sink and extensive cabinetry is downstairs, as well.

A glass-sided staircase leads to the second floor, where there are three bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The master has sliding-glass doors that open to a private balcony. The master bathroom includes double sinks, a walk-in shower with a rain shower head and a stand-alone tub. One of the guest bedrooms also has its own balcony, and all of the rooms have unobstructed mountain views.

Outdoor space: An outdoor fireplace is embedded in a wall of a covered deck in the pool area. Parking is in a two-car garage at the base of the house, behind a gridded glass door.

Taxes: $12,438 (estimated)

Built several years after the 1849 gold rush, this house was originally associated with leaders of the Know Nothing anti-immigration movement. Its first occupant was Selden A. McMeans, the California state treasurer. J. Neely Johnson gave a speech from the balcony after being elected Californias fourth governor. And David Smith Terry bought it in 1856, the year before he became chief justice of California State and three years before he shot and killed a United States senator in a duel. The house was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

It is in the Alkali Flat neighborhood, next to J. Neely Johnson Park and five blocks northwest of Sacramento City Hall and the heart of downtown.

Size: 2,500 square feet

Price per square foot: $394

Indoors: The house has been enlarged over the decades: rear balconies were enclosed and indoor plumbing was added in the 1880s, and structural renovations were undertaken in the 1930s, 1970s, 2011 and 2017. The furnishings are being sold with the property.

Beyond the double front porch, the main door opens to a long hallway with maple flooring. To the right is a pair of parlors with decorative marble fireplaces topped by gilt-framed mirrors and swag plaster molding encircling the upper walls.

The kitchen was renovated with wood floors and suspended upper cabinetry, a stainless steel range with a quilted metal backsplash and an adjacent butlers pantry with a wide refrigerator and freezer and additional storage.

The formal dining room next to the kitchen includes parquet floors with an inlaid border; it is connected to a nook with a wet bar. A projector and retractable screen allow the dining room to double as an audiovisual presentation room.

The four upstairs bedrooms include a master with a fireplace (within it is a glowing electrical feature) and a door opening to the balcony. (This is one of two bedrooms that are not served by the central heating system.) The en suite bathroom has a bathtub, a bidet and a stone-topped vanity. A space used as a family room is connected to a bathroom with a combined tub and shower and could serve as another bedroom suite.

Outdoor space: Next to the house, a glass pavilion installed by the current owner holds a resistance swimming pool. A one-story covered porch extends from the back of the house. A paved area is used for parking. The owner, who is an architect, has drawn up schematic plans for a garage on the property.

Taxes: $12,313 (estimated). The house qualifies for a California Mills Act property tax exemption if approved by the city of Sacramento.

Tierrasanta Library to Celebrate $1.6 Million Facelift to 35-Year-old Building - Times of San Diego

Listing of the Day

Location: Kensington, London

Price: 9.95 million (US$12.81 million)

This new, opulently outfitted townhouse in Londons chic Kensington neighborhood, which is under contract, is a bit like a luxury resort.

Contracts were exchanged in early November, and the deal is expected to be completed in the new year, according to Jack Russell, a director and negotiator of house sales for Russell Simpson. He said that that sale price was close to the asking price.

Developed by Onyx London, the house, which replaced an apartment building, is a traditional Georgian style that blends with the rest of the residences in the neighborhood.

"The exterior fits seamlessly within the character of the street," said Hattie Russell, sales negotiator for Russell Simpson, adding that it was short-listed for design et al magazines 2019 International Design & Architecture Awards. "Yet inside, you find all the amenities and quality you would expect from a modern development."

She said its proximity to good schools, parks, restaurants and shopping area will attract a family seeking a central location in the city and its gracious spaces make it an ideal entertaining venue.

The courtyard garden, she added, blends the indoors and outdoors. "The windows and doors all open into it," she said.

"The lift and the leisure amenities, including the pool, are not features that are found in the older properties in the neighborhood," she added.

As an alternative to Thanksgiving food, owners can give their pets their own treat or safe chew toy away from the food preparation and dinner

Getty Images

Thanksgiving is a special holiday that brings together a few of our favorite thingsfamily, friends, and food. While your furry friend may be an important member of the family, its important to remember there are some traditions Fido shouldnt take part in this Thanksgiving.

According to Kit Darling, infection control coordinator at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, food outside of your pets routine diet is likely to cause digestive upset, and there are several holiday foods that are hazardous to pets.

Some rich foods may cause digestive problems or pancreatitis, she said. Do not allow your pets to ingest turkey skin or dark meat, turkey bones, garlic, sage, onions, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate, bread dough, or the artificial sweetener xylitol.

Turkey and ham bones cause choking hazards and can splinter in the digestive tract, which could lead to an unplanned holiday trip to the emergency room. Fully cooked and boneless ham or turkey meat is OK to feed pets; however, owners should avoid feeding them anything with excess fat or seasoning.

As an alternative to Thanksgiving food, owners can give their pets their own treat or safe chew toy away from the food preparation and dinner, Darling said.

Owners can stick to their pets typical diet by mixing a bowl of their normal food with lean, boneless and skinless pieces of turkey or ham. Fresh vegetables such as green beans or sweet potatoes will also make a great addition to your pets Thanksgiving feast.

Owners should also keep an eye on special holiday displays, which may attract the attention of your pet, as well. Pets should be kept away from pine cones, decorative flowers and plants, candles, and electrical cords.

In addition, visitors can upset your pets, leaving them stressed or anxious during the holiday. A solution for this is to keep pets in a quiet room or crate with a treat or toy, according to Darling.

Thanksgiving can be stressful for you and your pets, with changes in their routine, visitors, and travel, she said. Remember to give your pet attention and provide them with a safe place to retreat to if things get too loud or intense. Before the holiday, it may be beneficial to give your pet the opportunity to be around people of all ages.

When visitors arrive or leave, Darling reminds owners to secure their pets to prevent them from running or sneaking out of the house. If your pet does happen to make a run for it, identification tags and microchips with current contact information will play a major role in their return home.

By following these simple precautions, you can ensure your pet remains safe and happy this November. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, your pet will be forever thankful that you kept them healthy for the holiday season.

Community members attending the grand opening celebration at the Otsego County Library Sunday shared their thoughts about the new layout created through the expansion project:

Colleen May

The library really is an inclusive space for bringing the community together. There is something for everyone books still live!

Cohen Corby

My favorite thing about the library is the new kids room and the Christmas books and the tunnel (portal leading into the childrens area). I checked out 10 books a new record!

Laverne Greenwood

Its wonderful they were not just climbing into the next 10 years with the building, but looking into the future. Its just a beautiful, beautiful job. Im so happy with it. There are so many good things about it.

Mike Mang

Its really beautiful. Im impressed by the space and the places where people can sit leisurely and read a book. It makes it comfortable for people to sit down and browse through books and do a little reading.

I like all the books they have in here and the place is bigger and all the spaces where you can read.

What do you think of the new library addition? - Petoskey News-Review

When it comes to preparing for the holidays, the one thing entertainers all need a little less of is stress. So what if we told you that the secret to a stress-free Thanksgiving in the kitchen has finally been cracked?

Oven space is prime real estate on Thanksgiving. Youve got the bird, youve got the sides, youve got the appetizers, Meghan McGarry, the classically trained pastry chef and culinary personality behind Buttercream Blondie, tells Salon. Growing up, I was always waiting at the end to get into the oven to bake dessert.

Inspired by that memory, McGarry tore up the rule book this year when she conceived a no-bake cheesecake to ring in the end of the decade. As it turns out, just because Martha Stewart regulates no-bake desserts to the summer months doesnt mean you have to follow the crowd.

You can roast your turkey without any competition and reduce your stress in the process, McGarry says of the latest addition to her collection of spiked desserts. The Golden Rule of Baking is: Dessert should always be fun.

In addition to saving crucial oven space, a no-bake dessert can also save time because it can be executed well in advance of a party. McGarrys cheesecake stays fresh for up to two days. You can knock out this Thanksgiving treat on a Tuesday, and as an added bonus, the recipe calls for individual servings to be doled out into mason jars. That means your storage containers are ready to go just pop on the lid before you move them to the fridge. On the big day, all you will have to make fresh is the whipped cream. Yes, you can actually hit the ground running on Thanksgiving morning.

But the ease that this no bake dessert can add to your Turkey Day does not stop there. When youre in charge of making dessert for the big day, you have to take into consideration what everyone likes and does not like, and try to come up with a dish that will make everyone happy. Now you wont have to wonder aloud any more, Who likes apple? Who likes pecan? Who likes sweet potato?

When deciding on her flavor profile for the cheesecake, McGarry started with pumpkin. Even though it may not be everyones favorite pie, there is a reason it gets a second look when made over as a cheesecake.

Lets face it: Pumpkin is a touchy subject. Some people absolutely love it. Theyve already bought the ring, and theyre ready for a lifetime commitment, McGarry says as she reflects on her many years of pastry experience. Others dont even want to go near it. They just give me a look that says, Not happening, But when you feature pumpkin in a dessert that everyone already loves like cheesecake, theyre willing to take a bite.

When you do a no-bake dessert such as this one, it is crucial to layer in your flavors. In this case, McGarry expertly deploys a crust made of gingersnaps for a baseline of fall flavor. Her cheesecake filling is accented with brown sugar and bourbon, which gives the mouth a warm hug. All of the spices pumpkin pie lovers expect in their favorite dessert it has the cinnamon, the ginger, the nutmeg (McGarry recommends freshly grating it) add the inviting warmth they know and love.

The next layer is a white chocolate ganache, which provides a delicate pop of sweetness that balances the remaining cozy flavors. Everything is topped off with homemade whipped cream, and your palate will not argue with another shot of bourbon and a hint of vanilla bean to truly kick things up a notch.

For an added crunch, top your cheesecake off with crushed pieces of leftover gingersnap crust. Then you are not only getting a combination of flavors but also texture throughout. Dont forget to add sprinkles,

Recipe:No-Bake Pumpkin Mousse CheesecakeYield: 4-6 parfaits depending on size

Gingersnap Crust1 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs ( about 22 store bought gingersnaps)Pinch of salt3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

In real life, the Salish Lodge and Spa is located a half-hour from Seattle in Snoqualmie, Washington.

There is arguably no fictional hotel more famous than the Overlook Hotel from Stephen Kings The Shining. In real life, Stanley Kubrick filmed the famous snowy exterior shots at the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. The film is widely regarded as one of the scariest movies of all time.

At the time, The Timberline Lodge worried that no guests would be willing to stay in room 217, which was depicted as haunted in the book, so they asked Kubrick to change the room number in the movie. A non-existent room, number 237, was used instead. Ironically, 217 is the most requested room in the hotel. In addition to the connection with The Shining, guests love coming to The Timberline Lodge to enjoy gourmet food and activities like hiking, mountain climbing, and year-round skiing.

Patients at the OhioHealth Physician Group Primary Care office at 250 W. Bridge St. will have additional services and staff available following a $4 million renovation expected to start the beginning of next month.

In January 2018, OhioHealth acquired the Dublin Family Care medical practice and a building that was constructed in 1976, said Joseph Campana, director of practice and development with the OhioHealth Physician Group.

OhioHealth planned the renovation, which addresses the interior and exterior of the building, because of the growth in its northern Franklin-Delaware counties market, Campana said.

"It is important for OhioHealth to continue providing great care to our patients close to home," he said. "Increased access to primary care is essential in the Dublin market."

New staffing for the building will include two physicians, one advanced-practice provider (a term for a provider that could include nurse practitioners, physician assistants and others) and four associates, Campana said.

"As of now, this is the number; there may be more as the project gets underway," he said.

The building's first floor includes a four-physician general practice now, Campana said.

After the renovation, the first floor will be a 20-room primary-practice designed for growth and improved clinical workflow.

Additional services also will be offered as part of the first-floor primary care practice, Campana said, in the areas of behavioral health, diabetes and high blood pressure. A nurse also will be available to follow up with patients who have been discharged from hospitals and emergency departments, he said.

In addition to enhancing an existing outpatient lab on the second floor, OhioHealth will add a 14-room outpatient pulmonary care practice and an X-ray machine, Campana said.

Renovations also will include the addition of an elevator at the front of the building, said OhioHealth director of construction Mike MacKay. Although the building already has an elevator, it isn't easily accessed by patients, he said.

"This is going to allow for a better patient access," he said.

OhioHealth will complete the renovation in two six-month phases so that the building can remain open to patients during the project, MacKay said.

The project is expected to be finished in April 2021, Campana said.
