[music playing] on cooler nights you can leave the doors closed and gather round the fire pit with friends and family. it's just a gorgeous place to come and relax and entertain. [music playing] this must be the most sophisticated family room and den i've ever seen. but because it's stylish doesn't mean it can't be comfortable. this is certainly where you'll do most your living. bathed in sunlight with tall cathedral ceilings and the sounds of the water just outside your doors, you'll really enjoy casually entertaining in this space. and just off the den you have this formal dining room, which seats 14 people. and with this gorgeous artwork behind you,

[music playing] thanks for joining me today. i hope you enjoyed the tour of this truly magical home. now talk about a drop dead gorgeous closet.

what? there was enough space in there for-- well, for me to move in, i'm thinking. [laughing] well up next, we are heading to a spectacular home in bel air when we come right back. [music playing] sara (voiceover): "open house" is brought to you in part by coldwell banker. where home begins.

welcome back to "open house." next we're in bel air at a gorgeous home that features sweeping views from la's cityscape to the pacific ocean. this home is all about seamless, indoor-outdoor living. and of course entertaining. you've got an impressive home theater, an alfresco kitchen and bar, a 300-bottle wine cellar, and so much more. enjoy this tour. [music playing] hi, i'm mauricio umansky with the agency. welcome to this modern gem created

by these gorgeous canyons in bel air. [music playing] you enter this home, you feel like you're walking into a piece of modern art. there's a lot of clean lines. it's filled with light. the volume is tremendous. add to this the brilliant white marble floors and floating staircase. there's only one reaction that everyone will have when they enter this home: impressed. [music playing] the living room area is absolutely fantastic. it's a place to entertain. it's got a wonderful bar at the end. and on the other side a dual fireplace. accenting some of the walls is a great sandstone. however, the fireplace is clad with a custom metal tile, giving it a sharp modern look. and if you weren't impressed enough already, straight ahead of you are some of the best views from the house. on the other side of the fireplace is the family room. the family room feels like a natural extension of the living room, but it's just a little bit more relaxed.

the fully customized kitchen features white oak cabinets, a pantry area with temperature controlled wine storage, and top of the line appliances. on the other side of the sliding glass doors is an outdoor seating area beckoning a peaceful breakfast meal with a view. across from the kitchen is the dining room. the white oak ceilings help create a nice warm atmosphere for your formal dining, while the floor to ceiling windows offer a view of the la cityscape and all the way to the pacific ocean. [music playing] on your way up to the master suite, you'll notice the floating staircase which on its own is a piece of art. [music playing] one of the things that impresses me most about the master suite is how open it is to the outdoors. just imagine waking up to this view every day. [music playing] the moment you step outside, you are stepping into almost 3,000 square feet of outdoor living space. and that's what this home is really all about: outdoor

california living. and the architectural details don't stop with the house alone. they continue through to the outdoor area, creating a resort-like feel, which features an infinity-edge pool and spa, a baja deck, and a beautiful canopy so you can enjoy a cocktail in the shade. [music playing] i hope you enjoyed the tour of this architectural masterpiece, which truly is one of my favorite homes in all of la. now that just might be the most amazing fireplace i have ever seen. next, i am catching up with fredrik eklund from "million dollar listing new york." we check out one of his prime listings. we'll see you after the break. [music playing]

welcome back to "open house." now with fredrik eklund from bravo's "million dollar listing new york." i was treated to an exclusive tour of one of his prime listings, a stunning townhouse on the upper east side. this property has it all both inside and out. from its english kitchen, to its rooftop oasis and everything-- and i mean everything-- in between. [music playing] -oh my god! -hi! you look more beautiful every time i see you. how is this possible? -you look so amazing. -really? me? i always-- and you smell good. -you smell good. -oh thank you.

look at that body. woo! what? [music playing] welcome to the most amazing townhouse you've ever seen. [music playing] ok, so one of the many reasons you even want to buy a townhouse is kitchen. -the kitchen! -no, no, no. and not and kind of kitchen. like a mega- full floor kitchen. i mean look at this thing. yes. it just keeps on going and going. like the energizer bunny. i love this. and this stove, you could really do some damage on. i love this. i want to cook on this. i want to sleep on it. it's so big. and also, very important with this house. listen. shh, shh, shh. can you hear that? -quiet. -exactly. you can't hear anything. that's the whole point. we have six more floors. we have five fireplaces. we have nine bathrooms, we have five bedrooms. -so we have some things to see. -mmm-hmm. -let's go see them. -let's go. [music playing] this house smells so good. or maybe it's you. it's me.

someone smells really good. [music playing] and then the formal dining. emphasis on formal. now since you have the elevator, you could have your-- cocktail. butler, cocktail, kids, grandma, anyone invite here to eat with you. yeah. you know what i love about this, too, is that there's so much light in here. it flows from the front to the back. and the floors are light. it just feels fresh. it's a good point. i realize wherever i am in the house, it doesn't really matter where i look. i'm always looking out through a window. [music playing] townhouses are great because there's always notion of separation between floors. yeah. so now you have the master upstairs. the full-floor master. but this floor, look at all this flexibility. all this living. is that a terrace? yes, let's go. on the third floor? -it's rare. -but it's like a garden. i bet you've never seen that before. oh! fredrik: you can literally hear the birds sing. you can. they're chirping. they're talking to us.

they're saying buy this townhouse. ah, yes. it's really peaceful out here, though. [breathing deeply] living in new york city, you need more greenery. you're very close to central park. and now we've talked a lot about loving a house. yes. now we're going to talk about loving in the bedroom. oh, ok. [music playing] it's so beautiful. oh, it's so pretty. it's so peaceful. i love it. i want to take a nap. i feel like i'm getting beautiful when i'm in this room. you are. i was gonna say that. i noticed that right as we walked in. it's the light. it makes you look prettier. it's also the sleep. because here you're gonna sleep 10 hours every night. that's true. and i love the windows again. it's a whole wall of windows. it's bright, it's airy, it's light, it's fresh. go to bathroom. the bathroom. oh, it's like twinkling in here. i love this tile. oh! double sinks, a vanity, and tub right in the center.

i love it. no, i get so happy because you get happy. that reaction you want from any buyer. i love this bathroom. isn't it gorgeous? and look, this is a marriage saver. i've only been married for two years. so i don't really know, but i've heard. wait, go over there. i standing here. -separate sinks. we're brushing our teeth. we're looking at each other. we still feel the love, right? after all these years? in this house, i'm going to fell the love forever. am i this handsome? ok. the best place for last. are you thirsty? i am. because i'm getting thirsty for a deal. i'm parched. [music playing] ta-da! so garden. then rooftop garden. remember down there? and then this. so three pieces of outdoor space. i love this. you could really entertain out here. and it's so peaceful. -you could. i am. both: woo! cheers, fredrik. thank you so much for the tour. love you. and for introducing me to my new life. it's fantastic. there's only one thing, last thing missing, though.

what? the $13.5 million check. oh, i'm going to work on that. i'll get back to you. [music playing] it's always fun hanging out with fredrik. and now i see why he's one of the top realtors around. there's so much more ahead on "open house." up next we are heading to an impressive entertaining space designed by robin baron. we'll be right back. [music playing]

next we join designer robin baron at her client's pied-a-terre on manhattan's upper east side. she created a chic, modern apartment that's perfect for entertaining. it has an eclectic array of architectural details that add both glamour and style at every turn. it's the kind of place that makes you feel festive the moment you step inside. see for yourself. [music playing]

hi. i'm interior designer and lifestyle expert robin baron. and i'm here in a post-war construction building that i just finished for a client that live out of town. and my goal here was to glam up the apartment for entertaining. so where do you begin? the best place of all: the entryway. so i started with the floor. i added an insert of stone and glass mosaic right into the wood floor, so that as soon as you walk in you're interested. your eye is moving. when you look up, you can notice the tray ceilings that i put in. and of course for me, lighting is one of the keys. and i designed these beautiful lights in the foyer that extend all the way down the gallery for drama. and like all good foyers, it sets the tone for everything you're going to see and delivers you right into this living room. [music playing] there are few elements that create a well-designed living room. one, you really want to have someone feel like they're drawn in and want to be in this space.

here i chose a large, vintage lucite table because you can see through it. you see the beautiful silk rug, you see everything around it in proportion to each other. and on the marble wall, i put floating [inaudible] shelves. in a large scale room like this, it's best to have more than one sitting area. this large sofa facing the fireplace serves as the division between the two seating areas. so follow me and let's see the rest of the home. [music playing] making a small, manhattan kitchen interesting? near impossible. i used big, bold hardware on all the cabinetry. i also used a really interesting backslash to keep your eye moving through the space. and bold fabric on the banquette. creating the tray ceiling allowed me to use more interesting lights going down the kitchen. [music playing] i hope you enjoyed taking a peek at this glamorous, eclectic

apartment. as i always say, confidence begins at home. [music playing] still ahead, helping a family breathe easier. see how this basement space is transformed from the inside out. [music playing] sara (voiceover): "open house" is brought to you in part by stanley steemer, the first carpet cleaning service to be certified as asthma and allergy friendly. their deep cleaning process removes 94% of common household allergens from the carpet. for cleaner and healthier home, visit stanleysteemer.com

welcome back to "open house." asthma and allergy sufferers can't do much to control pollen and other outdoor factors that can trigger a reaction. but there are some things you can do indoors to make some healthier choices. and it all starts with your carpet. george oliphant is teaming up and stanley steemer to help a family in the philadelphia area breathe a little bit easier. [music playing] my name is andrew siravo. this is lily siravo. we have two kids, madeline and drew. madeline is four, and drew is two and a half. i have suffered from allergies pretty

much most of my adult life. andrew: drew has allergies himself. he's allergic to a dog that we had to give up, and he's had stays in and out of the hospital, and had a flare-up last winter that was pretty bad. [music playing] lily: when we realized that the basement was a big cause of my sinus headaches, and also of drew's asthma attacks and time he spent in the hospital, it was really disheartening and really frustrating to feel like we couldn't spend time as a family down in our basement. right now it's not really useable for him, given that the carpet holds a lot of pet dander, and there's mold and dampness down there. so having that done and having that area to gather in and play in would be amazing. andrew: we've been living here seven years and have never had the carpets cleaned. i think it's way overdue. [music playing] every family needs a great space to gather in. and with a few small improvements, we're going to be able to turn the siravo family's basement into the space that everyone wants to hang out in. but we're not just going to improve it, we're going to make it healthier, too.

but of course, we can't do this alone. oh, nice. just the team i was waiting for. stanley steemer has arrived. [music playing] dave, i'm so glad that you're here. george, thanks for calling. i'm looking forward to getting in there with the stanley steemer team and-- what do you say, you want to go meet the family? -we're happy to help. let's go. -ok. [music playing] hey! andy, how's it going guys? good to see you! i brought my friend dave here from stanley steemer. nice to meet you. george: what's up guys? how's it going? well i understand you guys got some issues with your basement. so dave and i are here to tackle it. you want to lead the way? -absolutely. come on guys, let's go. it's this way. george: so you have this great basement but you're not really able to use it at all. -correct. -correct. i think we are definitely the solution for you. stanley steemer's the first carpet cleaning service that was certified asthma and allergy friendly. on average our cleaning process actually removes 94% of common household allergens. and in addition-- you mentioned the dog-- we actually-- our cleaning process was shown

to remove 97.8% of dog dander. -awesome. -awesome. i mean that should be good. and you're certainly not alone. i mean there's 65 million people across the country that are dealing with these same issues related to asthma and allergy. george: so basically in layman's terms, you're going to be able to clean this place so that it's not just a dumping ground, but actually a usable space. it's going to be a healthier environment for everybody to come down here. hopefully it'll be a space you can enjoy. well not only are we going to make it healthier, but i got a few tricks up my sleeve. i think we'll actually-- i think a little nicer to hang out in as well. -awesome. all right! we'd love that! let's get to work. let's do it. [music playing] george: wow, it really just cleaned up that coffee stain or whatever that was, as if it was nothing. so this particular space is wall-to-wall carpeting. in my house, i have hardwood floors and area rugs. do you do houses like that, too? yeah absolutely. we can clean area rugs, we can clean hardwood floors. and people think of us as just carpet cleaners, but we can really do some good things to tile and grout

as well. we clean upholstery, we clean drapes. like carpet, your furniture and your drapes, they'll act like a filter in the home. so all of the allergen triggers-- the dog dander, cat dander, dust mites, pollen-- comes in, it circulates around the room, and it gets trapped in not just the carpet, but also the furniture as well. so it's important to clean that on a regular basis. george: so pretty much anything under your roof, stanley steemer can clean. we got it covered. [music playing] wow, dave, this basement smells so fresh. yeah, we're finished cleaning the carpet. we cleaned the furniture. perfect, so now i can bring down amanda and her team from sunflower creations to spruce this place up. [music playing] swing it. swing it. [music playing] siravo family, are you guys ready to see what we did down here? yeah, come on guys, let's check it out.

all right. come on down! whoo! wow. wow! oh my god! [music playing] george: of course, i couldn't have done this by myself. we had amazing help fro our team sunflower creations, and of course stanley steemer. guys, thank you so much. it looks great. we're thrilled. thank you so much. we're so happy. -thank you, guys. you did a great job. now you have a beautiful space and you can breathe easy. that's all for now. i hope you learned some inspiring tips and enjoyed our tour of exquisite homes. if you need more inspiration, head to openhousetv.com. and if you have the decorating hack, share it with us on twitter, instagram, or facebook. we'll be back next week. thanks for watching. [music playing]

i'm here asking for help! >> it was like hearing a ghost. a voice from beyond the grave. >> there's no way i can go back. >> can she help solve her own

murder? >> so surreal. >> this is something that happens to other people, not to you. >> she was a dancer who married a dashing photographer. they seemed a perfect family. til the bone-chilling night she went missing. >> you could see the body underneath the snow. >> where was her husband that night? >> my attorney said, "you don't know the tidal wave that's coming towards you, do you? >> seems like it's always the husband, right? isn't that what police say? except this time, they weren't so sure. >> it's a whodunit. i had three viable suspects. >> three possible suspects? turns out, this victim also had a boyfriend. and he had a wife! >> everyone starts getting questioned. husband. boyfriend. jealous spouse. >> i said something like, "i hope she rots in hell"! >> so what did happen that snowy night? see what you think. because the most important clue of all may be the victim's own voice. >> i knew there was a line to draw. >> i'm lester holt and this is "dateline."

tonight, "secrets in the snow." here's keith morrison. >> reporter: it was cold the night it happened. so very cold. a night to be inside by a fireplace, tucked under a quilt. not outside in the frigid dark. not way up here, nine thousand feet up, in the colorado mountains. snow thick already that late november night, and with the wind chill, 24 below. >> i don't know enough to know exactly what happened. i'm still trying to figure it out. >> reporter: what in god's name was his wife doing? walking out into the brutal cold? and more to the point, what happened to her? this middle class married mother of three. where did she go? without a word to him or her friends. >> you can't imagine that this is happening to you and to your friend. >> she was just plain missing. >> reporter: but she was. terrifying. dreadful in the end. and as events were about to prove, a shocking lesson on what

can dwell hidden beneath a person's public skin. so this was really a secret thing as far as you know? >> a lot of it, sure. >> reporter: everybody has secrets, of course. stephanie roller bruner's secrets lived, as she did, in a skier's paradise. tall pines, heart-pounding slopes, soaring peaks. silverthorne, colorado. and the happy way she got here was the sort of thing you might expect to read in perhaps a romance novel. >> instant -- instant attraction. >> reporter: they met at the top of a mountain. dale bruner, a professional photographer, was taking and selling photographs of visiting skiers. a person has to make a living and for dale, skiers were it. >> i love taking wildlife. photos and scenics. people say, "well, why don't you sell more of your work that way?" i said, "well, buffalo don't carry credit cards." >> reporter: anyway, it was up there on the mountain, he

spotted this young woman who seemed to be conducting some sort of forestry service survey. >> i skied up to her and i said, "what are you doing?" "writing parking tickets?" she looked up and smiled. >> reporter: and then she took off her big ski goggles. >> i was stunned and i'm like, "wow, she's beautiful." >> reporter: they moved in together right away, and when they got married a few years later, they eloped, they jetted off to fiji. it was so stephanie, said her friends. >> yeah, they kinda just went off and did it. >> reporter: they made their home in silverthorne where dale's photo business grew and grew. >> when things were really rolling, i had several operations in different states around the country. around 25 photographers working. >> reporter: stephanie got a job in county government. environmental planning department. >> look, look at the camera. >> reporter: they raised their 3 young children. >> awesome children. the best. >> how bout a smile? >> reporter: and life for the bruner family was --

>> it was fantastic. we traveled. we vacationed. >> reporter: but it was in her spare moments and hours that stephanie was truly transformed. a ballroom dancer. >> dancing was probably to her what photography is to me. >> our guest star, bill -- >> reporter: it was her passion, said her old friend bill. >> he knows flamenco. >> stephanie loved to dance. i mean, dance was her life. she was alive when she danced. >> reporter: hardly surprising then that stephanie and jennifer were very close, too. >> we started a ballroom dance program together at my dance studio and pretty soon she had me doing back flips with men and partnering and just all kind of fun things. >> reporter: but it was dance that led off the whole cascade of trouble in the fall of 2010. there's an annual fundraiser here in silverthorne called "dancing with the mountain stars." local worthies paired with ballroom pros. >> did you go? >> i went to about three years of them.

the last one, i did not go to the last one. >> reporter: had a wedding to shoot. so he missed the chance to watch stephanie teach those lead-footed businessmen the foxtrot and the tango and so on. which means he also missed what happened that night. >> she coached a number of couples and in the process she met a man named ron. >> reporter: ron holthouse. a local, married, physical therapist. >> she started working with him and got to know him and saw how funny and animated he was and how that made her feel. she really did call it a "true love" moment. >> and he seemed to feel the same thing about her? >> yeah, they really clicked together. >> reporter: so they did. oh, boy, did they ever. and stephanie was dancing on air, her whole world, upended. >> she didn't realize that there could be love like that. >> reporter: a secret from her family, of course. but she told

her friends that she'd found her "soul mate." >> it was almost odd how she told a number of us, that i just want you to know that i'm very happy. >> reporter: but joy and misery come in pairs sometimes. as thanksgiving approached, chaos took over what had been a well ordered life. it was a wednesday, middle of october, when things started piling up. >> a horrendous day for her. >> because? >> well, she went to work that day and the county laid off 20 people that very day. >> reporter: including stephanie. in fact, stephanie's troubles, and her secrets, seemed to pile up like the snow. >> she was behaving a little bit strangely. >> a little unpredictable. >> a little bit, yeah. >> reporter: it was thanksgiving week. that cold, dark night. not far away from peaceful silverthorne, someone robbed a bank. a very rare thing around here. dale was in bed, he said, when stephanie announced she was going out to clear her head. and then didn't come back.

come morning, dale called the silverthorne police. >> i got a phone call from dale bruner and just said i wanted to make a report that my wife is missing. >> reporter: it was a records clerk named veronica nicholas who took the call. >> he said, "i got the kids up, i got them ready for school, and i got them on the bus, and then i thought i should probably call you guys." >> reporter: stephanie's car was in the driveway, said dale. and when he called her cell phone, it went to voicemail. veronica called stephanie's best friend, jennifer. >> i panicked. this is something that happens to other people, not to you. >> reporter: oh, but it had happened. as the silverthorne police checked local hotels and hospitals, stephanie's friends scoured her neighborhood. >> it just seemed unbelievable that stephanie would not check in. >> reporter: a day became two. and then three. and some private secrets were about to become very public indeed. >> so where was stephanie? police had a lot of questions for her husband, dale.

they also wanted to talk to that other man in her life, her boyfriend, ron. and when we come back, they do. >> i just want to ask straight up again, not accusing you -- do you know where stephanie is right now? >> reporter: all night, the we are in the age of ageless. age neutral. age defiant. age agnostic. olay is a purveyor of ageless. only the best 1% of ingredients make it into our products. for transformed skin without expensive brands or procedures. it's the ultimate beauty victory. nobody has any idea how old you are. with olay, you age less. so you can be ageless. olay. ageless.
