Home of the Day: Baywatch-inspired beauty in Santa Monica
Originally built by a Los Angeles County lifeguard, the rooftop deck and deck of this loft-style home in Santa Monica were fittingly inspired by the design of a lifeguard tower.
Located on a secluded cul-de-sac in the Ocean Park area, the contemporary space features modern architectural lines and generous skylighting in the great room. Life’s a beach.
