About This Home

As of May 2021

Beautiful Mediterranean villa perched at the very top of Westridge. Immersed in the Santa Monica Mountains nature and micro-climate with rare sweeping views down across the whole city from downtown to blue ocean. Nostalgic walled frontage invites visitors to cross the threshold into a private beautifully manicured garden with waterfall and koi pond to formal front entryway. Well-appointed architectural living rooms with arched entryways, generous wood details contrast the bright sky and mountains outside. French doors flowing from the kitchen, dining and living rooms all open onto an expansive wood entertainment deck extending out and transitioning to an epic infinity pool providing a clean sharp edge to the grand views. Master suite sits central crowning the second floor with commanding panoramic views of the gardens, mountains, bright cityscape and ocean views. Suite includes two walk-in closets, spacious master bath, en-suite den, and French doors to a private balcony in the round.
