About This Home
As of March 2025This architectural gem is set in one of Santa Monica's most scenic locations. Perched in the hills of the College Streets, on a rare view lot set back from the street, the home offers a serene blend of privacy and luxury in the heart of the Westside. Thoughtfully updated by Space International Architects, this home spans three levels, designed to maximize natural light and frame the expansive ocean, mountain, and city views. A gated entry and lush hedges introduce the property's inviting front yard, complete with a vegetable garden and native Californian landscaping that attract monarch butterflies and hummingbirds. Step inside to discover a welcoming open-concept living space where the kitchen, dining area, and formal living room flow seamlessly. The recently completed chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and premium finishes, showcasing an ocean view that transforms meal prep into a scenic experience. A balcony with a retractable shade extends from the living and dining area, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The primary suite, located off the main living space, offers tranquil ocean views and a sense of seclusion, thoughtfully separated from the other bedrooms. Descending to the middle level reveals three guest bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a spacious family room, and a dedicated office that comfortably seats four, ideal for homework or remote work. The second ocean-facing balcony on this level invites relaxation and is perfect for outdoor dining, while convenient features such as the laundry room, linen closet, and ample storage provide effortless functionality. On the lowest level, a versatile studio space with a kitchenette and a climate-controlled wine cellar opens to the expansive backyard. Designed by Environmental Landscape Development, this private retreat features a solar-heated pool and spa, fire pit, and built-in BBQ. The hardscape is softened by natural grass and native landscaping, creating an idyllic setting for poolside gatherings. A secure gated side entrance provides guests and vendors with direct backyard access, ensuring convenience and privacy. With its meticulous design, rare combination of modern elegance, privacy, and an exceptional, walkable location within the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, as well as local shops and restaurants, this home represents a truly unique offering in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. It is a sanctuary of coastal living, cherished by only two previous owners.
