Welcome to one of Santa Monica's most extraordinary gated beach residences, now offered for lease. OFFERED FULLY FURNISHED, this architectural tour de force captures breathtaking 180-degree panoramic ocean views extending from the Pier all the way to Malibu. The residence features an exceptionally versatile multi-level layout tailored for living and entertaining. The first-floor suite functions perfectly as an independent guest apartment or staff quarters, complete with its own gourmet kitchen, private outdoor shower, and direct beach access. Ascending to the second level, soaring ceilings frame an expansive living room that flows through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors onto a private oceanfront terrace equipped with automated privacy shades, radiant heaters, and a louvered roof. Completing this main entertaining level is a chef's kitchen featuring a custom central island and a hidden walk-in pantry. The master suite opens seamlessly to a private lounge terrace featuring a soothing outdoor spa, which can also be accessed via an exterior stairway leading down to the lower levels. Offering an unbeatable oceanfront location with immediate proximity to the fine dining, shopping, and vibrant culture of downtown Santa Monica, this gated estate provides rare privacy along the boardwalk.
