Modernica

Golf fans, in particular, will see the appeal of this home's location – overlooking the 14th hole of the local country club – but anyone with an eye for design will be bowled over by its beauty. A masterclass in mid-century architecture, it's a striking place that makes the most of indoor-outdoor living with walls of glass, sliding doors, balconies and terraces. A mix of grey shades, white walls and black beams are softened with luxurious furnishings, a fireplace and comfy throws and blankets.

But we doubt you'll be spending much time on the sofa when there's a lovely pool, hot tub, outdoor lounge, trampoline, and games of shuffleboard, table tennis and table football to be enjoyed. And for the golfer, there's even a mini putting green in the garden. Look forward to using the fabulous modern kitchen equipped with all the accoutrements you could need for making home-cooked meals, along with the huge dining table with seating for up to twelve indoors and another out on the terrace. We particularly love the vast master suite with its open bathroom and its balcony. Best of all, you'll be a twenty-minute drive from Long Beach, with its famous dining scene and beaches, and about the same from nearby Disneyland.
