Experience the perfect blend of Santa Monica charm and cultural vibrancy at 1019 Chelsea Avenue, on a treelined street close to Wilshire and Montana Avenue's shops and cafes. Located in the highly coveted Franklin Elementary School District, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has been lovingly maintained and updated, offering modern comfort alongside architectural significance. The home's standout feature is a thoughtfully integrated addition designed in 1989 by architect John Clagett. Having spent years working closely alongside the legendary Frank Gehry, Clagett brought a unique vision to the space, resulting in a home that feels both intimate and artistically inspired. The main level offers a well-proportioned living room, dining area, two bedrooms, a den, and a remodeled kitchen and bath, featuring wood floors and abundant natural light. Ascend to the second level to find a bright, airy primary suite: a spacious bedroom with a woodbeam ceiling, expansive windows, a large 3/4 bath, and custom closets designed by Clagett. The property also includes an inviting and versatile bonus room, of approximately 200 square feet, for use as a creative studio, home office, or fitness retreat. Professionally landscaped front and back yards extend the living space outdoors year-round. On the market for the first time in nearly 50 years, 1019 Chelsea Avenue is a rare combination of design pedigree, enduring quality, and relaxed Santa Monica sophistication. Trust sale.
