The Santa Monica home of Simon Baker—star of television series The Mentalist—recently found a fan and moved into pending status. The home’s listing price is set at $6.295 million.
One of the more successful Northeast Coastal-style homes in SoCal, the weathered shingle-sided barn-style boasts a knockout great room with a cathedral ceiling, an outdoor living area with a stacked stone and tile fireplace, and a series of seriously charming bedrooms.
The six bedrooms—each absolutely unique within the 19th-century Americana style—feature vaulted plank ceilings with upper-level dormer windows, plank walls, clerestories, and farmhouse cabinetry. A kids’ room sports sleeping berths.
The main living area in the home soars, with trussing and a wall of floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves accessible with a rail ladder. The outdoor space is very private, with a brick wall bordering a shady garden living area.
