Friday Find: Oceanfront “Skinny House” on Santa Monica’s Gold Coast

Ever wondered about that stretch of homes where Pacific Coast Highway meets the 10 freeway?

Well, for this week’s Friday Find, let’s take a closer look. Friday Find- Gold Coast

California dreaming can now be your reality.

Situated on the famed Gold Coast in Santa Monica, this stretch of oceanfront property consists of roughly 30 eclectic beachfront homes.

The area was originally developed in the 1920s, when silent film stars and Hollywood executives built extravagant weekend beach cottages here.

These homes were often built in reverse, with their dramatic architectural fronts facing the beach while garages and gates lined the busy coastal road behind them.

One particularly interesting property here is known as the “Skinny House.”

Located directly on the sand, the contemporary three-level home offers incredible ocean views in every direction.

The residence includes 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and approximately 3,650 square feet of living space.

Each floor of the home contains a bedroom, creating privacy and separation throughout the layout.

The primary suite sits on the top floor, featuring a massive walk-in closet and a large covered deck that is perfect for outdoor entertaining while enjoying the ocean views.

One of the most unique features of the home is the indoor pool and jacuzzi located on the first floor, surrounded by beautiful teak flooring.

The property also includes a 1,000 square foot subterranean garage equipped with a car turntable, allowing for easy maneuvering in the tight beachfront lot.

Step outside your door and you’re immediately on the world-famous Santa Monica Beach, the bike path, and the boardwalk.

The location truly can’t be beat.

You’re just steps from:

• Downtown Santa Monica restaurants and shopping
• The Santa Monica Pier
• Palisades Park
• Bike rentals and the beach path

This incredible beachfront home is currently offered for lease at $35,000 per month.

The perfect place to live your California beach vacation dream.
