About This Home
As of November 2023Experience the allure of this magnificent two-story pool home, perched atop Santa Monica's Berkeley Hill, offering sweeping panoramic vistas of the ocean and city lights. With an open layout designed for seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment, this residence elegantly has a luxurious pool and spa area. Originally rebuilt in 1988, this home underwent a remarkable 2020 renovation by its current owner, featuring all-new flooring throughout (no carpet!!!). Both floors boast generous balconies adorned with stylish railings. The flexible floor plan includes a spacious office, den, or playroom, while the large rooms bask in abundant natural light, courtesy of high ceilings. Upstairs, discover two bedrooms alongside an expansive primary bedroom suite, complete with a rejuvenating jetted tub, two walk-in closets, and an oversized balcony that grants awe-inspiring ocean views. Every one of the four bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom. Additional amenities include a separate laundry room, a private heated pool and spa nestled within the enclosed yard, and ample parking available in the sprawling, meandering driveway. Conveniently situated near the Brentwood Country Mart, Montana Avenue's shopping and dining, beautiful beaches, and top-rated schools, this property is a true gem. *The pink exterior house photos and the carpeted photos are from 2017. The exterior of the house is now painted white and there is no carpet in the house at all.*
