A rare, light-filled top-floor corner penthouse that lives like a London flat -- elevated, intimate, and quietly luxurious in Santa Monica's coveted Wilshire/Montana neighborhood. With multiple exposures and panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains, treetops, and cityscape, the home feels serene and cinematic from the moment you enter. Meticulously reimagined in a no-expense-spared renovation completed December 2021, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers approximately 1,612 sq. ft. of refined, design-forward living warm, modern, and timeless. The layout is open yet composed, created to let the light travel and the views take center stage. The living room is wrapped in new double-paned windows, framing the scenery like artwork, and anchored by a custom bay window with built-in bench seating -- an effortlessly chic spot for morning coffee, sunset light, or quiet conversation. Just beyond, the sunroom extends the living experience with an airy indoor-outdoor feel, ideal for reading, working, or entertaining while staying connected to the sky and treetops. The kitchen is tailored and architectural, thoughtfully reconfigured with Caesarstone countertops, custom whitewashed Spanish-oak cabinetry, and sleek integrated KitchenAid appliances concealed behind custom paneling for a clean, streamlined finish. An oversized dining island anchors the space for easy hosting and everyday gathering, while a mountain-view kitchen window adds a subtle daily delight. A versatile flex room with closet and private entry adapts beautifully as a third bedroom, den, office, fitness studio, or guest retreat is a rare optionality in a residence this polished. The primary suite is a true sanctuary of scale, featuring dramatic 20-foot ceilings, an oversized walk-in closet (including the original hidden floor safe), and a spa-like en-suite bath with Italian tile, dual vanities, a generous walk-in shower, and natural light streaming through original skylights. The second bedroom offers the same sense of volume with lofty ceilings, an en-suite bath, and a hidden, fully insulated storage loft with reinforced flooring. A third bath is elegantly executed as a refined wet room, with seamless waterproof cement walls that blend form and function.
