About This Home
Perched at the highest point of Berkeley Street in Santa Monica, Casa Tramonto is more than a home - it's a story, an experience, and a retreat. From the moment you ascend the private driveway, a sense of calm takes over, carried by breathtaking views that capture both sunrise and sunset across the city, ocean, and mountains. Every detail of this reimagined estate speaks to thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless design. Local artisans built custom oak cabinetry and vanities throughout, paired with Kalista fixtures and an artful mix of natural stone, tile, and porcelain. Wide-plank white oak floors ground the interiors, while oversized oak doors with reeded glass and Rejuvenation hardware add character and warmth. Light floods through fully extendable glass doors, opening each room to balconies and breezes. Belgian linen dressings frame windows, and every bedroom offers a private moment among the trees. This home offers a highly functional layout with four bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom downstairs, and an additional office/den space perfect for work or a gym. The newly resurfaced exterior and refreshed landscaping bring the property into harmony with its setting, now surrounded by 60 mature trees and enhanced by thoughtfully updated lighting. The backyard is an invitation to linger - swim in the updated pool, unwind by the fountain, or simply soak in the serenity. Behind the beauty, modern systems provide peace of mind: two tankless water heaters, dual-zone HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, and two laundry spaces. Designed by Lizabeth K. McGraw of Tumbleweed & Dandelion and built by American Valley Builders, Casa Tramonto is a rare work of art.
