Santa Monica | $3.975 Million
A 1924 Southwestern-style house with five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, on a 0.1-acre lot
This house, a block north of Montana Avenue, was previously owned by a set designer who worked to preserve many of its original details, including fireplaces, stained-glass windows and wrought-iron fixtures. The neighborhood is family-friendly; shops and restaurants are nearby on Montana Avenue. The Aero Theatre, a 1930s movie theater restored in 2005, is a five-minute walk from the house, as is a Whole Foods supermarket. Will Rogers State Beach is 10 minutes away by car, as is downtown Santa Monica and the Third Street Promenade shopping district.
Size: 3,555 square feet
Price per square foot: $1,118
Indoors: A low adobe-style wall separates the front lawn from the street, and a stone pathway leads to the entry, which has a wrought-iron gate and the original wooden front door.
The small foyer has Spanish-tile floors. It opens to the dining room, which, like the rest of the house, has refinished hardwood floors. To the right of the dining room is a formal living room with a stucco fireplace trimmed in brick and original stained-glass windows.
To the left of the dining room is the kitchen, remodeled by the current owners. The countertops are marble, and built-in bench seating creates a breakfast nook on one side of the room.
A hallway connects the dining room to the rest of the house. On the right side of the hall, glass double doors lead to a home office; on the left side is a guest bedroom with decorative wood paneling. Also off the hall is a peach-and-yellow-tiled bathroom.
At the end of the hall is a bright family room that opens to a central courtyard. Arched double doors on the left side of the family room open to a master bedroom with a built-in storage bench, a large walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with built-in vanities, an imposing chandelier and a steam shower with an arched glass door and window.
A tiled hallway off the family room leads to a guest bedroom with an en suite half bathroom and an indoor Juliet balcony. This bedroom and the master suite have access to the central courtyard.
