About This Property
Positively idyllic, this one-of-a-kind Rustic Canyon Santa Monica residence blends historic charm with modern sophistication just moments from Will Rogers beach. Step inside and you're greeted by soaring ceilings, wide-open spaces, and natural light pouring in from skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows. A dramatic double-sided river rock fireplace anchors the semi-open layout, seamlessly connecting the formal living and dining areas. The kitchen is a true standout, featuring a professional-grade six-burner stove, double ovens, a griddle, and a lava rock gas grill, all centered around a large dine-in island with striking custom lighting. The private primary suite serves as a serene sanctuary, tucked away from the other bedrooms, with a newly reimagined spa-like bath showcasing a marble walk-in shower, a freestanding double-sized tub, twin vanities, and multiple skylights bathing the space in natural light. Two additional bedrooms offer peaceful garden views, one opening to the backyard through French doors. A cozy library with its own powder room and an office provide flexibility for work, rest, or retreat. Outside, the lush backyard and sparkling pool are framed by mature fig, avocado and redwood trees, native landscaping and a grassy lawn, creating a truly magical setting. Oozing warmth, soul, and storybook appeal, the home's rustic log exterior - originally sourced from early Hollywood movie sets - pays homage to the neighborhood's rich history as part of the storied "Uplifter's Ranch." The 17sf flat lot offers street-to-street access across from Rustic Canyon Park, complete with tennis courts, a nursery school and a community center for family-friendly activities. Travel further north on Latimer and the neighborhood culminates in a charming cul-de-sac with a bridge and creek. This unique, historic property embodies rustic elegance and relaxed luxury in one of the most enchanting, hidden pockets of Los Angeles. This home is more than a residence, it's a lifestyle.
