165 Mabery Road, Santa Monica, CA 90402
Whether it's spending a few months as a visitor in Santa Monica, adjacent to State Beach, enjoying an adventure while remodeling one's own house or simply experiencing a memorable chapter. Here is your chance to do so. Some houses attract cultural figures who influence contemporaries and future generations. 165 Mabery Road is one of them. Currently owned by a Canadian family who are self-proclaimed modernists, they nevertheless couldn't resist the magnetism of this half-timbered English-style structure when they first saw it. In a testament to their scope, they hired architect Michael Kovac to assist. With Michael's help, and their own exquisite taste, they transformed the interior into a modern sanctuary. The dialogue between the two styles is seamless and memorable. In practical terms the house offers two comfortable main bedroom suites, two home offices, two family rooms, a media room, a gym, and a guest house. The views of the Pacific Ocean and the Canyon are intoxicating. The indoor/outdoor flow from the kitchen to the gardens, the California pool, the outdoor dining, kitchen, and the guest house all embrace the quintessential California lifestyle. Some of the owners and residents included Salka & Berthold Viertel, Daniel Mann, and Gordon Davidson. Through decades, the house hosted many memorable salons and get-togethers. The garage is used as storage and is not included in the lease.
