One imagines eating dinner most nights on the adjacent covered patio, and
getting much year-round use from the barbecue kitchen and dining island
with seating for three. e home's designers have created the backyard
as a sunlit, private retreat—intimate and comfortable for dinner parties,
afternoon lounging sessions and play dates, while roomy enough for big
gatherings. Helpful in the event of the latter is the home's sizable wine cellar.
And while the home is only about two miles from the Santa Monica Airport,
it is exempt from any of its flight paths.
Head to the second floor and find four of the home's five bedrooms—each
one en-suite, with designer bathrooms and large closets. Not to miss is the
master suite, a luxurious sanctuary made so by its collection of bright, elegant
rooms and generous scale. e bedroom, for starters, adjoins a spacious deck
where one can start the day over coffee, and wind down later under the stars.
Twin walk-in closets are king-sized, and the bathroom is an expansive place
with a chandelier and soaking tub in its center. A walk-
in shower and separate sink vanities, all decked in
elegant, grainy titanium limestone, complete the scene.
"It's the first of its kind in the neighborhood," says
Hathorn, referring to the home's size and top-tier
design. Located in Santa Monica's Sunset Park area,
the property is located on a wide, quiet street with
plenty of old-growth trees. ere's great walkability;
stroll to the new cluster of shops and eateries on Ocean
Park Boulevard in mere minutes, or 13 blocks to the
ocean. When one needs to hit the freeway, Interstate 10
is but a mile from this address. "e lifestyle in Santa
Monica is really special," offers Hathorn, himself a
Westside native.
It was Le Corbusier who said: "Space and light and
order. ose are the things that men need just as much
as they need bread or a place to sleep." In this home
these essentials have been unified in such a way that
they offer an uplifting canvas for everyday living. Add
to it, as these designers and builder have, a careful
selection of high-grade features and a free-flowing
scale—all tempered to good taste—and one finds an
easy house to imagine oneself living, and thriving, in.
