Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1927 and offered for the first time in 50 years, the property is a 'time capsule' with bathrooms and cabinetry reflecting a 40-50 year old renovation style. While the home is well-maintained, the age of the finishes and likely outdated systems necessitate a full interior rehab to meet modern standards.
Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Situated on a coveted tree-lined street within walking distance to Montana Avenue and top-rated Franklin Elementary, this property occupies one of Santa Monica's most prestigious and sought-after addresses.
The 1927 residence retains timeless character with original exposed wood beams, arched passageways, and classic indoor-outdoor flow through elegant French doors that open to a private, lush backyard.
Given the 50-year tenure of the previous owners and the home's age, buyers should expect the need for substantial capital investment to update systems, appliances, and finishes to modern luxury standards.
At a $5 million price point, the property represents a significant initial investment for a home that may require extensive remodeling or a complete rebuild to realize its maximum market value.
