Description

Nestled among mature trees and moments from the beloved shops and cafes of Montana Avenue, this 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom home is a rare offering that blends architectural sophistication with organic serenity. Fully gated and private both front and back, the property is thoughtfully sited in one of Santa Monica's most desirable north-of-Montana neighborhoods, a sanctuary where nature and design exist in perfect balance. A dramatic architectural entry sets the tone with soaring double-height ceilings and walls of glass that flood the interior with natural light. Throughout the house, expanses of windows and French doors invite the outdoors in, while wood, cork, and other artisanal materials create a rich, grounded warmth. Vaulted ceilings, clean lines, hidden storage and a seamless interplay of indoor and outdoor living reflect a quiet luxury rooted in earthiness and ease. The family room, dining room, and living room open to a covered patio through French doors, perfect for entertaining. Both the living room and family room are anchored by elegant fireplaces offering warmth and intimacy in thoughtfully designed communal spaces. The kitchen is fully outfitted with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry and a built-in banquette breakfast area that looks onto the family room. A main-level bedroom opens to a lovely front patio and garden seating area providing a private entry and flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs. On the lower level, an inviting, casual media/recreation room awaits, outfitted with cork flooring, walls of storage and a closet ideal for wine or other collections. This large space is a natural hub for cozy screenings, game nights or studio-style inspiration. Upstairs, five bedrooms offer generous living spaces. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring a spacious en-suite bath with a soaking tub, a large walk-in closet, and serene treetop views. Three additional bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged along the main hall, each filled with natural light. Just beyond, connected by a wood deck and offering a subtle sense of separation, a private bedroom suite with its own entrance and en-suite bath provides ideal flexibility for accommodating a home office, nanny or housekeeper's live-in suite or guest quarters. Just blocks from Montana Avenue's boutiques, restaurants, and curated cultural attractions and minutes from trails, sandy beaches and top-rated schools, this soulful residence offers a timeless fusion of architectural beauty, privacy, and coastal ease.
