Mountain-lodge home in Santa Monica draws inspiration from its roots

"Sheltered by mature trees in Santa Monica's Rustic Canyon area, this contemporary mountain lodge-style house was built using some of the original materials from a cabin that once stood on the site. The great room fireplace was created from stones that were salvaged, numbered and then reassembled. Original eucalyptus supports the built-in seating nook and upper balcony."

"Lodgepole pine timber from Montana forms the home's framing. The 6,195-square-foot house features an open-flow kitchen, dining room, den, breakfast area, family room, office, terrace, plunge pool, stone walkways, and two-car garage across six bedrooms and six bathrooms on a 26,258-square-foot lot."

A contemporary mountain lodge-style residence in Santa Monica's Rustic Canyon area was constructed using materials salvaged from a hunting cabin that originally stood on the property. The fireplace in the great room features stones that were carefully numbered and reassembled from the original structure. Original eucalyptus wood supports built-in seating and an upper balcony, while Montana lodgepole pine timber forms the home's primary framing. The 6,195-square-foot house, completed in 2014 and designed by architect Chris Peck, sits on a 26,258-square-foot lot sheltered by mature trees. The property includes six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and amenities such as an open-flow kitchen, family room, office, terrace, and plunge pool.
