About this home

Built in 2018 and located just five blocks from Santa Monica Beach, this bright townhome blends thoughtful design with a private, multi-level layout. Executed by a renowned interior designer, the residence offers the option to be acquired furnished and styled. Custom hardware, paint treatments, furniture, and curated art complement pieces sourced from Europe, South America, and Los Angeles, resulting in a warm, balanced interior with intentional flow. From the two-car garage with built-in storage, private interior stairs lead to the main living level, where open living, dining, and kitchen spaces connect seamlessly. The living room features a Samsung ultra-short-throw smart laser home theater projector, while the kitchen is finished with distinctive cabinetry, a custom brass sink, Brazilian quartzite countertops, and a professional-grade Bertazzoni gas range. Also on this level is a bedroom currently configured as a home office with built-in cabinetry and furnishings, easily convertible back to a bedroom if desired. A full bathroom with a Belgian limestone sink, travertine tub, and contemporary shower completes the floor. A second staircase leads to the upper level, where the primary suite and an additional bedroom are positioned. The primary bedroom features floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and windows, two closets including a walk-in, and an en-suite bathroom with double sinks and Waterworks fixtures. The secondary bedroom also includes its own en-suite bathroom and abundant natural light from an oversized window. Above, a private rooftop deck of approximately 750 square feet extends the living space outdoors, offering city and mountain views. The deck is equipped with a Sol built-in BBQ, Brown and Jordan fire table, and integrated Sonos sound system well suited for both entertaining and everyday use. Located within the Roosevelt Elementary School district and moments from Montana Avenue's shops and dining, with the beach just five blocks away. List price is for the unfurnished home. Furniture may be available separately.
