About This Home

As of May 2026

A beautifully renovated property, just minutes from the beach and Downtown Santa Monica. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, 1538 16th Street offers a rare combination of flexibility, comfort, and long-term potential. At the rear of the property, the main residence features 3 beds and 2 baths with bright, welcoming interiors and thoughtful updates. The layout moves easily between indoor and out, for a home that works just as well for everyday living as it does for having people over. At the front of the property, an attached 2 bed, 1 bath ADU adds exceptional versatility: ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or a private work-from-home setup. The property also offers plenty of gated driveway parking along with a large two-car garage with generous storage or potential to convert into another income-producing unit. Beyond its immediate lifestyle appeal, the property may also offer long-term upside under Santa Monica's evolving housing policies, including potential future benefits from SB79, making it perfect for both homeowners and investors looking toward future development potential. A move-in-ready Santa Monica home that combines flexible living spaces, parking, and future opportunity in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods.
