Southern California has always been all about that indoor-meets-outdoor lifestyle, even more so during the summer. If you’re looking to upgrade to a new abode, look no further than these seven quintessential LA homes that move effortlessly between inside and outside.

1302 Collingwood Place, Sunset Strip

This Sunset Strip home is the epitome of LA’s indoor/outdoor living. Thanks to glass walls and Fleetwood doors, the entire home is bathed in an abundance of natural light and offers jaw-dropping city views from every room. However, the decadent master suite is the home’s main attraction with its dreamy skylight and shower that brings the outdoors in. $23.995 million; 

9145 St. Ives Dr., Bird Streets

Modern and luxurious, this estate nails the effortless indoor/outdoor flow. We especially love how the bedrooms completely open up to an outdoor terrace replete with an infinity pool and private spa. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, the home also features a large sky deck offering city and ocean views. $12.995 million; 

917 North Crescent Heights, Miracle Mile

This three-bedroom LA home has a family-friendly vibe, but doesn’t sacrifice the indoor/outdoor aesthetic. The entire home is drenched in natural light and the living room’s sliding glass doors reveal a verdant backyard complete with a deck and a wow-worthy waterfall. $1.625 million; 

526 Tuallitan Rd., Brentwood

This modern farmhouse in Brentwood is just begging to host summer fêtes. The living room’s glass doors open up completely seamlessly connecting the interior with the outdoor lounge and backyard. And when you crave a little more privacy, the master bedroom’s personal patio is perfect for enjoying breakfast or curling up with a good book. $5.695 million; 

1723 Viewmont Dr., Hollywood Hills

If you’ve always dreamed of taking a bath while soaking up stunning city and ocean views, this romantic Hollywood Hills home can make that dream a reality. To boot, the living room flows out into the garden and dipping pool, which look especially magical at nighttime when the city lights are twinkling in the backdrop. $2.492 million; 

32802 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu

There’s so many reasons to fall in love with this three-bedroom Malibu property overlooking the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Highlights include private access to the beach, self-opening floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and a master suite with it’s own private deck. $9.25 million; contact Sotheby’s International Realty.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Phil Dawson is selling his estate in Austin, TX. The 41-year-old NFL veteran recently put his home on the market for $2.35 million.

Dawson’s long and impressive career spans his years at the University of Texas (in Austin, of course!), with the Cleveland Browns—where he holds the franchise record for the most field goals—and with the 49ers. Dawson was set to become a free agent this year but signed a one-year contract with the 49ers. The upcoming 2016 season will be his 18th year in the NFL.

The 6,354-square-foot home has seven bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a ton of Texas charm. Situated far back on nearly an acre of tree-lined land, the home has plenty of curb appeal with a rock exterior and tin roof.

Inside, the recently remodeled home features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and plenty of windows for natural light.

With a mostly open floor plan, the home also has an office with sliding barn doors and a formal dining room with an antler chandelier.

The oversize master suite overlooks the backyard and tree line, while the master bathroom has a window-lined soaking tub.

Out back, there’s a full outdoor kitchen and a pool, the perfect spot for beating that Texas heat.

San Diego Modern Home Built From Shipping Containers Lists for $799K

Shipping container house

A new-construction home offered in San Diego, CA, checks all the boxes. Rooftop deck with Pacific views? Check! Sleek, modern design? Check! Prefab construction? Wait, what?! You read that right. This Southern California home is made from shipping containers. Not that anyone can tell—which is kind of the point.

“There’s a stigma, a misperception,” listing agent Jonathan Sanders says of the modular construction. The real estate agent is part of the two companies that invested in and built the property. He notes that people walking through the home don’t realize it’s made from shipping containers until he tells them.

That may be because there are few if any other homes built from the recycled cargo containers in San Diego. And it can be hard to be a trailblazer. Still, there’s “a growing momentum for recycled shipping containers,” he says. “You can take modular and be as creative and custom as any type of build.”

The green design, which was recently completed for the 1,920-square-foot house, was mostly built offsite, then moved to the lot and attached to the foundation. The home has three bedrooms, including a master suite, and 2.5 bathrooms.

Architectural details include eye-catching exterior pine stained in four different shades, 8-foot-high doors, and oversize windows. Inside, there’s wide-plank laminate flooring or carpet in the bedrooms and a modern kitchen with gray quartz countertops. There’s also a backyard.

The roof deck is 384 square feet of fabulousness that could almost be counted as living space. “It’s 70 degrees and never raining,” Sanders says of the sunny climate that makes the deck even more inviting. “It has the most unbelievable views.”

Despite being made from recycled steel, the home is as solid as it is portable. “You could ship [the home] to Bali in 10 years if you wanted to move,” Sanders says. “They’re international shipping containers. They go on anything as a standardized shipping method. There are a lot of perks.”

Given that San Diego is one of the hottest markets in the country, prefab could be a perk for home buyers who want to shy away from fixer-uppers. “It’s a viable way to build in a place where it’s expensive to live,” Sanders says.

Not that this house offers affordability as a selling point. It’s priced at $799,000. Sanders argues that in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Grant Hill, “It’s a high price point, but it’s a low price per square foot for the market in the area.”

For the price, buyers may be getting prefab, but they’re definitely not getting cookie cutter.
