“The house started to shake like an earthquake,” he told the California Office of Emergency Services. “Then I heard my wife screaming and coming out of the bedroom holding our dog and ‘ploom,’ here comes the mud and the debris.”
Real estate listing images show the property intact and seemingly fully functional over a year after the devastating natural disasters.
Bridges and Geston previously unloaded a Tuscan-style estate in the Montecito for $16 million in 2017, theLos Angeles Timesreports.
