More Insights

Built in 1908 (118 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1908, the property has undergone a complete and extensive high-end renovation, as explicitly stated in the description ('Completely remodeled with high-end materials, designer-selected fixtures'). The images confirm this, showcasing a pristine interior with new hardwood flooring, modern light fixtures, and fresh paint throughout. The kitchen is a standout with luxury gold-toned appliances (e.g., professional range, large refrigerator), custom white cabinetry, and high-quality countertops. All bathrooms are newly updated with contemporary vanities, stylish tiles, modern fixtures (including gold accents), and glass-enclosed showers/freestanding tubs. The detached studio units also appear recently converted and in excellent condition. All components are virtually new and meet current quality standards, indicating no deferred maintenance.

About this home

Imagine starting the year with a home that feels like a fresh chapter and a full reset, in the best possible way. Set on one of the largest lots on one of Santa Monica's most coveted tree-lined streets, just moments from the sand, this beautifully reimagined Craftsman pairs timeless character with a "new year, new look" level of finish and functionality. Completely remodeled with high-end materials, designer-selected fixtures, and Portola + Farrow & Ball paint accents, the main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, plus three detached studio units in the rear. It's a rare, flexible setup on an impressive 4,434 sq ft lot, blending classic curb appeal with modern comfort and income or guest potential. Arrive at a welcoming verandah overlooking a lush, landscaped front yard that feels straight out of an English garden, with wildflowers and a charming brick path. It's the kind of setting that makes mornings slower, sunsets sweeter, and everyday living feel a little more special. Inside, the open floor plan flows effortlessly through generous living and dining spaces, filled with natural light and thoughtful details. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece with custom cabinetry and elevated finishes, perfect for everything from casual brunches to dinner parties and quiet nights in. Each bedroom is a private retreat with an en suite bath, offering comfort and privacy throughout. Behind the main home, three detached, converted carriage house studio units add incredible versatility. Use them as guest suites, creative workspaces, wellness studios, or rental opportunities. Whatever your "new year" goals are, this property has room for them. Out back, a spacious patio sets the scene for relaxed al fresco evenings under string lights. With thoughtful storage, parking for 2+ cars, and additional permitted street parking, day-to-day life stays easy. All of it is set on a quiet one-way street in the highly sought-after Santa Monica school district, moments from the Pier, Venice Beach, Main Street, the Sunday Farmers' Market, and the energy of Abbot Kinney and Rose Avenue. This isn't just a home, it's a fresh start by the coast. A refined, flexible Santa Monica retreat that's ready for your next chapter.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated on one of Santa Monica's most coveted tree-lined streets, moments from the sand, Pier, Venice Beach, Main Street, and popular cultural hubs like Abbot Kinney, offering unparalleled lifestyle access.
Extensive High-End Renovation: The Craftsman home has been completely reimagined and remodeled with high-end materials, designer-selected fixtures, and premium paint accents, blending timeless character with modern luxury.
Versatile Income/Guest Potential: Includes three detached studio units in the rear, providing exceptional flexibility for guest suites, creative workspaces, wellness studios, or significant rental income opportunities.
Exceptional Curb Appeal & Lot Size: Set on an impressive 4,434 sq ft lot, one of the largest on the street, featuring a welcoming verandah and a lush, landscaped front yard reminiscent of an English garden.
Modern Interior Design & Functionality: Boasts an open floor plan, a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and elevated finishes, and private en-suite baths for each bedroom, ensuring comfort and sophisticated living.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2555, other record living area = 1764.
Historic Property Age: Built in 1908, despite extensive remodeling, the underlying structure is over a century old, which may present unique maintenance considerations or appeal less to buyers seeking brand-new construction.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer periods, especially for a luxury home in Southern California.
Limited Dedicated Parking: While offering 'parking for 2+ cars,' this may be insufficient for a property with a main house and three additional studio units, potentially relying heavily on 'permitted street parking' which is not guaranteed.
