Set on an expansive 22,400+ square-foot lot, the residence is surrounded by impeccably landscaped grounds, sweeping lawns, a resort-style pool and spa, play area, heated loggia, outdoor BBQ kitchen, and detached guest house. Thoughtfully renovated by architect Philip Vertoch, the home is filled with natural light and defined by hardwood floors, beautifully proportioned rooms, custom built ins, and an effortless connection to the outdoors.

The secondary primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath with heated floors. Completing the estate is a three-car garage, resort-style pool and spa, an inviting outdoor fireplace with a dedicated seating area, and a beautifully appointed one-bedroom guest house above the garage, complete with its own kitchen. Control4 technology, solar panels, and three-zone heating and air conditioning provide modern convenience throughout. An extraordinary combination of scale, privacy, and timeless California living on one of Santa Monica's most impressive lots.
