924 PALISADES BEACH ROAD, SANTA MONICA

LOS ANGELES, US

Located on Santa Monica’s Gold Coast, each room in this five-bedroom beachfront home is orientated towards the sea, so occupants can enjoy expansive views of the ocean. This is especially so from the master bedroom, which has 3.6-metre-high glazed walls and looks over Santa Monica Bay and the mountains behind.

Designed by Molori, this contemporary home has a combined living and dining room with Italian stone floors and a built-in aquarium, and a sculptural staircase leading to the first floor, which has a variety of other reception spaces, including a study/library that leads to a west-facing terrace. On the third floor, the master bedroom has two bathrooms and a host of extras that make it almost a home within a home, including its own cinema, separate bar refrigerator and fireplace.

WOW FACTOR:

Plenty of toys. In addition to the nine-metre swimming pool, there’s a private beach area with outdoor dining, barbeque and tanning areas. The beach also has a transparent cabana that can be adapted from bedroom to cinema room. From both the beach and the swimming pool, residents can watch and hear the ocean and enjoy glorious Californian sunsets. Indoors, there’s a home cinema, family room with bar and a chef’s kitchen.
