This classic 1930s home is reminiscent of a Paul Williams design perfectly located in Santa Monica Flats north of Montana. Surrounded by exquisitely landscaped gardens designed by Scott Shrader, the property offers a serene retreat with mature plantings, sculptures, curated greenery, and a magical Koi pond with lilies leads you to the front door. A welcoming foyer leads to a gracious formal living room with built-ins and a fireplace, a cozy dining room ideal for gatherings, and a sunlit kitchen all three spaces featuring French doors that open to the formal outdoor living areas, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. A butler's pantry and a quiet library-style office with an adjacent powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace and en-suite bath, along with two additional bedrooms and a flexible bonus room. At the rear of the property, a detached guest cottage offers a bedroom, bathroom, laundry with a light airy gym/media room all oriented toward the lush backyard. The outdoor area is anchored by a pool, spa, a cool fire pit with abundance of seating, and enclosed and privatized by a peaceful garden lined with paths of vibrant foliage. Ideally located between Montana Avenue and the Brentwood Country Mart, this elegant home offers classic architecture, privacy, and a deep connection to nature all in one of the Westside's most desirable neighborhoods.
