The large dining room has been converted to a pool room with the built-in china cabinet containing a collection of photos and glassware. The pool room is decorated with Harley Davidson icons and photos of their trips on their Harley motorcycles, a hobby the couple pursues when not working on the house. The Arellano daughters, Daisy and Jasmine, have a colorful “loft” room upstairs.
While the inside of the house is Rose’s domain, Sam’s is the outside. He has created a secret garden in the side yard. The terraced back yard is full of mature fruit trees. The spacious garage gives Sam the opportunity to indulge his hobby of restoring vintage cars.
