12 ARCADIA HOME SUMMER 2009 counter, talking and laughing. The kitchen is open to the family room and overlooks the lush backyard, to which Surrano added a beautiful glass and mosaic tiled pool with spa, and the pool house. Off the family room is an enclosed courtyard with a covered outdoor dining room. “Sometimes I like to just sit out here with a cup of coffee and enjoy the quiet,” Surrano says. Finishing off the lower level, the master wing includes a study, his and hers bathrooms and his and hers walk-in closets. The upper level features a kid’s loft area and three bedrooms. There are also two cozy hallway cubbies where Surrano’s children can be alone with their books. “Everyone needs their own space and one of the things I like best about this house is that there’s a special place for everyone,” says Surrano.
