It’s hard to imagine, but not too long ago this stunning, light-filled home with views out to the San Gabriel Mountains -- to slip into real-estate-agent speak -- suffered from pink plaid wallpaper in the kitchen and gold shag carpeting in the living room. But attorney Christophe Burusco saw beyond that and bought it up for just under $500,000 in 2001.
