"Built in the late 1930s, the Cliff May-designed low-slung house was innovative for its time and today is considered typical of his trademark designs. Rooms flow easily from one to another or onto patios, allowing for the passage from indoors to outdoors without stepping down. Large picture windows take in the views."
"After a series of owners, the home was brought back to life by Grazer in the mid-'90s -- updated, expanded and rebuilt to keep the structure intact and maximize the canyon, city and ocean views. In addition to the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom main house, there is a swimming pool, a guesthouse and an office/gym/art studio."
"Peck, who lived in the one-story home until 1952 with his first wife, Greta, favored the den as his retreat. A Life advertisement for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer shows the couple at the room's bar."
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner acquired a notable Pacific Palisades ranch house originally purchased by Gregory Peck in 1947. Designed by Cliff May in the late 1930s, the nearly 8,800-square-foot home exemplifies his signature architectural style with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and expansive picture windows. Producer Brian Grazer purchased the property in the mid-1990s, undertaking significant updates and expansions while preserving the original structure and enhancing canyon, city, and ocean views. The 3-acre cliffside compound includes five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a swimming pool, guesthouse, and office/gym/art studio. Affleck and Garner acquired the property from Grazer for $17.55 million, down from its $27.5 million listing price.
