When the actress envisioned her dream home, she saw bay windows with cozy seating, built-in bookcases, fireplaces raised from the floor—all intended to create “happy, comfortable living.” She drew up rough plans, and architect George Newman Sprague made it a reality at 7044 Los Tilos Road in Outpost Estates.
