I live in an apartment 2 blocks from that house and it is very cool. Every Christmas they put up an aluminum Christmas tree with a color wheel behind it and it makes the white walls of the place look like a psychedelic freak out.
They used to have some good yard sales. I'm crossing my fingers they'll have a 'moving sale'.

The house that it's next to, Weathering Heights, is also for sale. W.C. Fields used to rent it and Carole Lombard and Clark Gable summered there. Fatty Arbuckle and Theda Bara were neighbors. It was quite the party house in the 1920's. The house has a gigantic backyard.

When you look across Ocean Blvd. at the 2 homes it's quite the juxtoposition of styles.

And for more So Cal real estate:
One of the original 1930 beach cottages in tiny Surfside is for sale for only $859,500. It's in a very quiet gated neighborhood and 50 feet from the sand. It's in the neighborhood that Sandra Bullock and Jesse James lived in when they were married. For that cheap price it makes me wonder if it's haunted or something creepy happened there. You could walk to Don the Beachcomber. Unfortunately it will probably be torn down to make way for the type of house it is sandwiched in between.
