Home of the Day: Living outside the box in Cheviot Hills

Taking full advantage of Southern California’s sunny climate, the newly built home features retractable glass walls that open to a landscaped yard. An open living/dining room and modern kitchen instantly become an extension of the grounds with the touch of a button.
