For those seeking warm weather this winter, a newly built house in Santa Monica has hit the market for $7.1 million. Designed by the Los Angeles-based architects Kovac Design Studio, the three-story contemporary was made to entertain. “It’s definitely built for that indoor-outdoor flow,” said listing agent Darlene Hutton of Partners Trust. Sliding glass doors in the living and dining areas open to the backyard, which features a swimming pool, a hot tub and a kitchen with a built-in barbecue. The main house has four bedrooms, 4½ bathrooms and an office. A fifth bedroom with a full bathroom is located in the pool house. The home’s lower level includes a game room and a theater room with surround sound. In addition to a bar in the backyard, the home has four wine refrigerators, an ideal amenity for any holiday bash.
