558 Stassi Ln Santa Monica, CA 90402

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Santa Monica Canyon, 558 Stassi Lane is a serene architectural retreat shaped by light, landscape, and an effortless connection to nature. Originally a Traditional-style residence, the home was comprehensively reimagined in 2007 by David Hertz, FAIA, who returned in recent years to thoughtfully update it. An open floor plan and vaulted ceilings amplify the sense of space and volume within the original footprint. Bi-fold doors extend the living room onto a generous deck with western-facing views, capturing the late-afternoon light and dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. Warm custom cabinetry, new counters, hardwood floors, expansive windows overlooking the park-like grounds, and a restrained palette of materials lend the interiors a calm, Japanese-inspired sensibility. Outside, lush mature landscaping surrounds an expansive wood deck appointed with a sauna, cold plunge, and outdoor shower--an intimate setting designed for relaxation and restoration. Architectural plans by David Hertz envision a beautiful studio addition, while solar panels, air and water filtration systems, a screening area, integrated sound, and numerous thoughtful amenities enhance everyday comfort. The substantial street-to-street parcel may offer opportunities for additional structures or a lot split, subject to applicable approvals. From the upper portion of the property, ocean views provide further inspiration for future improvements. Perfectly positioned to enjoy the enduring charms of Santa Monica Canyon, this exceptional property offers privacy, architectural distinction, and a profound sense of calm--a true sanctuary in one of Los Angeles' most cherished enclaves.
