Cutting a stately figure, this architecturally-designed home is ideal for family holidays or a group getaway to the Pacific coast. With several breakout spaces for anything from a family movie night to a quiet corner for catching up on work, this home is practical, modern and bright. There's plenty of room going, so you probably won't feel boxed in, but the garden with goalposts and loggia seating is a welcome addition nonetheless. Santa Monica Pier is only a short drive away for a truck-food stop after a day on the sandy shores of the nearby beach.
