On the sands of Malibu sits this "reimagined" post-and-beam with the views (plus salty air and ocean breezes) afforded 60 feet of beach frontage. The westerly façade is largely made of glass, offering up white-water views from the great room. There's also —wipes away tear—a courtyard, a master bedroom with a "relaxation alcove" (yeah, nobody knows what that is), and a detached guest suite. Of course, such yummy Malibu tastings don't come cheap; it asks $15.495M.

This dreamy 1975 Buff & Hensman in SoCal's San Marino was later updated by Hensman in 2001, a year before his death. Sited on 1.5 knolly acres, the 6,547-square-foot spread boasts open, post-and-beam interiors and, in the kitchen, a "large center island plus enclosed wok cooking facility." Outside: a pool, spa, tennis court, and cabana. It asks $10.88M.

This 1972 Buff & Hensman design, which "exemplifies architectural significance and integrity," has much to be proud of: a glass-enclosed entryway, a hexagonal great room with 30-foot-ceilings, and a sun-soaked breakfast nook, to name a few. In all it's 7,000 square feet, and that's excluding all the rest of the property's 1.32 acres, which are dotted with 30 citrus trees and a mosaic pool and spa. It asks $4.25M.

L.A.'s much-balconied 1959 Halverson Residence resurfaced on the market last April, just eight months after purportedly selling. Public records indicate that the Buff & Hensman-designed "architectural gem," or so the brokerbabble dubs it, sold last August for $1.795M. Halverson Residence has blipped on and off the market since 2006, when it was bought for $1.295M, then, over the next two years, gutted, refurbished, and spat back out onto the market for $2.395M. Since then, according to the property history, the house has changed hands twice, in 2007 and 2013, though the fact that it's already listed again, for $100K less than it's supposed sell price may indicate that the 2013 sale didn't ultimately close. In any case, the listing offers "three stories of Post-and-Beam Perfection totaling 2,816 square feet," with recycled glass terrazzo floors, cork flooring, a suspended fireplace, and 786 square feet of decking across three floors—one of which has a jacuzzi. It asks $1.695M.

This "dazzling" Buff & Hensman has "serious attention to detail throughout" (serious!), with custom-built cabinetry, quartz counters, and 4,009 square feet of bland, off-white interiors that reflect, to its detriment, its 1991 construction date. It asks $1.25M.

Oh dear. Lurking somewhere in this San Bernadino listing, beneath the overwrought furnishings, frou frou curtains, tassled lamps, and urns full of sunflowers lies the beautiful bones of a lakeside dwelling, complete with 60-foot-tall pitched wood ceilings and a "GRANDSCALE" library or studio. It's also sited on a secluded forested plot, with a "full lake view" and comes with a single slip dock with dock house. It asks $1.499M.
