The Father of the Bride Home is for Sale!
The quintessential all-American dream home from the 1991 movie Father of the Bride is for sale, and now it can be yours! Located in Alhambra, California, the 4,397 square foot 1925 Colonial is poised on an 18,110 square foot lot and features four bedrooms and four baths. It is truly a dream!
I have always loved this home, and you can read all about it at Hooked on Houses… Julia explains that it was actually just the driveway and backyard from this home that were used in the movie. (She also wrote about this house when it was for sale in 2011.) The front exterior belonged to a different house in Pasadena. You can read more about it here.

According to Zillow, there is already a contract pending on the Alhambra home, but you can still click over and take a sneak peek… And if you loved this movie as much as I did, you will want to see Hooked on Houses’ thorough analysis of the two homes here and here. Enjoy!
Otto Zenke Homes for Sale
After learning about Otto Zenke, thanks to Wednesday’s guest post by Jason Oliver Nixon from Madcap Cottage, I thought it would be fun to explore two Zenke homes from the MLS. Zenke favored the Regency and Georgian style, but with a theatrical twist… black and white floors, dramatic staircases, fanciful doors and windows. The first home we will tour today was built in 1954 and is located in Greensboro, North Carolina. Zenke worked closely with architect Mott Schmidt to create this masterpiece…
This beautiful home sold in 2014, but you can still see the listing with additional images and information here, and take a virtual tour here.
The next home on our Zenke tour is located in Thomasville, North Carolina. The current owner is an avid Zenke enthusiast who decorated in true Zenke style with fine antiques and a generous dose of Southern charm…
Note the black doors leading into the parlor. They complement the entry doors and are all original Zenke.
