North of Montana, this 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence blends classic East Coast traditional architecture with a refined modern sensibility, set on a 7,500-square-foot lot and offering nearly 3,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Timeless architectural character is paired with warm natural materials and custom detailing throughout, including wide-plank wood flooring, custom built-ins, and beautifully proportioned living areas. Upon entry, a formal living room with fireplace and French doors opens to the private front yard, while the dining room connects seamlessly to the main hallway and kitchen, creating an ideal flow for entertaining. The highly functional floor plan is designed for both comfortable everyday living and large-scale gatherings. The kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, dual dishwashers, and a professional Miele coffee station, while the adjacent breakfast area and family room open effortlessly to the backyard through sliding glass doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The front living room also functions as a private movie theater with a concealed drop-down projection screen. The main level includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an additional powder room for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring a fireplace, sitting area, private balcony, expansive walk-in closet, and a spacious bath complete with dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, and an additional private balcony. Three additional upstairs bedrooms, one currently utilized as a gym, share a full bathroom. The outdoor setting is thoughtfully designed with a large entertaining deck, spa, flat grassy yard, and an exceptional StruXure cabana with covered lounge seating, integrated media, and adjustable ceiling panels that open and close for year-round enjoyment, creating a true extension of the home's living spaces. Additional highlights include a fully integrated smart home system, large rooftop solar array with Tesla battery backup, whole-house filtered water system, and tankless water heater. A rare offering that combines timeless character, modern functionality, and an elevated outdoor lifestyle in one of Santa Monica's most sought-after neighborhoods, moments from Montana Avenue, top-rated schools, and the beach.
