A real looker, all right
This Playa del Rey house has walls of glass in almost every room that slide open to large decks with views of the ocean, the mountains and the lights of the city.
The three-level house, completed this year, has an urban-chic feel with dramatic, loft-like open spaces, hardwood floors and high ceilings. Its sprawling terraces are cooled by ocean breezes.
The views from homes such as this one on Veragua Drive, as well as Playa del Rey’s proximity to the airport, have attracted sports figures as well as film and TV executives to the area. Among them are L.A. Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Lakers center Kwame Brown.
