Last week’s sales: Greek-inspired home at bluff’s edge for half off; Summerland project with big views; Hollister Ranch “surf shack”; mountain-facing oceanfront condo in Carp for just under $4 million; Mission Canyon Mediterranean on 4.64 acres; and more. See what sold—and for how much. (Photo by Spencer Sky.)
