Monterey Colonial

Step inside this warm, art-filled Monterey Colonial, where Studio Murnane masterfully balances family life with museum-quality curation. Designed around the principle that art is the statement, the five-bedroom Santa Monica home features gallery-white Roman clay walls, carefully restrained furnishings, and nearly 1,800 square feet of hand-selected natural stone. Thoughtfully renovated down to the studs, the home now glows with modern lighting, sunlit atriums, and serene, functional spaces tailored for both growing children and fine art. From custom bunk beds to a stone steam bath, each detail was chosen to elevate daily living while letting the art—and life—shine.
