Palisadians will get a rare opportunity to visit and explore a handful of the most impressive private homes in neighboring Venice Beach and Santa Monica during the Third Annual Venice Beach Modern Home Tour on Saturday, May 3. Participating homes will open their doors for viewing from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Throughout the day, tour-goers will have the rare opportunity to explore the inside of five to seven amazing private residences in the Venice Beach and Santa Monica neighborhoods. Attendees will learn from homeowners what it’s like to live in a modern home and find out where the architects got their inspiration – directly from the source. The tour is self-guided and self-driven, allowing guests to explore these modern treasures at his or her own pace.
