The L-shaped pool is on the right, in the foreground. The water is still so it doesn't call a lot of attention to itself, but you can see its reflective surface.
oh, thanks, Ted. i see the pool now. it confused me because i remembered the blue tile on the sides of the pool, and i don't see any blue tile here.
one other thing i noticed about the pool in the columbo episodes. from some views (like when eric wagner is about to be murdered) you can see at least a foot of tile above the waterline, while from other viewpoints the waterline looks almost as high as the shore/patio. it makes me wish i could see a panoramic view of the whole pool, to see how it is designed.
I'm glad you folks enjoyed it. I made an error in saying that this was the "Charmed" house -- the article discusses several "famous" houses, and the "Charmed" house is a different one. Still, it was great fun to see that the lead photo showed a house so familiar to "Columbo" fans, so totally recognizable.
