They say that all work and no play makes one go dull and pale. But at the home of Lisa and Michael Rubenstein, there is pretty much of things taking a turn towards the dull and the mundane. This beautiful modern home by TRG Architects is not only a delight to live in with its plush interiors that are clad in cozy comfort, but even the outdoors is equally appealing. It brings out the fun-filled kid in everyone with its lush green backyard that provides ample space for outdoor activities.

But is not just the spacious backyard that makes life here a constant vacation. The sleek and refreshing pool promises a cool dip every time things become a bit too hot to handle while a plethora of activities await you thanks to the mini-golf green, paddle-tennis court and the bocce ball court. Yup, this is pretty much like opening your backyard door and walking into a vacation at a cool resort.

The home itself looks lovely with balanced use of glass, concrete and wood on the outside. This gives its residents sufficient privacy, while also extending the interiors beyond the four walls and connecting it to the outdoors with smart the use of floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The two acre property also features solar panels, gray water management systems which are clubbed with eclectic interiors and curvy antiques to create a home that fits the taste of its owners.
