Santa Monica, CA
This classic Mid-century modern home in the Santa Monica Canyon was designed and rebuilt in 1965 by the family that came to love the house and neighborhood in the following 58 years. The soaring windows and sliding glass door in the living room gives you a sense of bringing the outside garden in. The spacious living room boasts high ceilings and a large stone fireplace with seating. The wood paneled front room designed for both family space and dining "brings you back" a few decades and it leads into the kitchen which is also original from 1965. The light and bright bedrooms are all upstairs with wood beamed ceilings. The back bedroom has a door that leads to the top of the yard and the old "guest house" that was built in 1920 and previously housed photographic equipment and a dark room. This home is one of the few remaining original homes in the beloved Santa Monica Canyon. The area is a quick walk to local restaurants and the beach with wildlife and hawks still flourishing. The award winning Canyon Elementary school is close by along with Rustic Canyon Park.
