About this property
Set on one of Santa Monica's most beautiful streets north of Montana Avenue, this meticulously maintained Mediterranean jewel showcases the best of California living, where timeless character and modern craftsmanship come together with effortless ease. A voluminous entry gives way to formal living and dining rooms, each with a sense of occasion. Beyond, the great room opens through LaCantina doors that fold away completely, dissolving the boundary between the home and the exquisitely redesigned gardens with pool and spa. Upstairs, the day slows down in a stunning primary suite, where two sets of French doors open to a private balcony overlooking the yard, and a serene bathroom features dual vanities, a separate shower, and a soaking tub made for lingering. The four additional en-suite bedrooms are equally generous and inviting, with custom built-ins and fabulous closet space. Outside, the yard feels every bit as transportive, with a waterfall spilling gently into the pool beside a beautiful stone patio. A fire pit and dedicated seating area invite long evenings outdoors, all surrounded by beautifully curated grounds and mature hedges that provide the ultimate in privacy and comfort. A separate casita adds a spa room with a custom steam shower and full bath, a private sanctuary and seamless extension of the home's indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Smart home technology, upper and lower laundry rooms, and a finished garage round out the thoughtful amenities. With the beach and Montana Avenue's shopping and restaurants just moments from the front door, this is more than a home - it is a rare Westside retreat where craftsmanship, light, and California ease live together in quiet harmony. This one truly has it all.
