About This Property

Set on a 7,992 sq. ft. lot in a coveted North of Wilshire location, this wonderfully refreshed 3-bedroom Santa Monica home combines original character, thoughtful updates and a generous amount of space to live both indoors and out. Inside, refinished original hardwood, plus new floors carry through light-filled living spaces, where exposed beams, skylight, fireplace and built-ins add warmth and character. The beautifully renovated kitchen features new cabinetry, quartz countertops, newer appliances, updated lighting and an expanded adjoining laundry area with separate dining. The family room and primary bedroom open through French doors directly to the rear yard, creating an easy connection between the home and its outdoor spaces. A newer deck, covered gazebo, multiple seating and garden areas with mature avocado and Valencia orange trees, create a harvest all year in your backyard. An abundance of sunny space left for vegetables, herbs, play, or build and design your dream pool for all year summertime weather. Behind the detached garage is an approximately 192 sq. ft. bonus/studio with a remodeled bath, loft, skylight, sink area and separate entrance with its own parking from alley. This is an incredibly useful space for an office, studio, guests or creative pursuits. The extensively refinished garage features epoxy flooring, finished walls and substantial attic/storage space. Additional improvements include a major electrical upgrade, partial plumbing upgrades, split-system A/C in the living area, new wall heater, fresh interior/exterior paint and selected new windows and doors. An extensive and thoughtful drought-conscious landscaping with succulents, agave, decorative stone and pebble plus, irrigation improvements. Adorned with lovely trees for front yard privacy. All of this just one block from Montana Ave, neighborhood schools, parks, shops, restaurants and everything that makes this pocket of Santa Monica so enduringly desirable.
