Three additional upstairs bedrooms, one currently utilized as a gym, share a full bathroom. The outdoor setting is thoughtfully designed with a large entertaining deck, spa, flat grassy yard, and an exceptional StruXure cabana with covered lounge seating, integrated media, and adjustable ceiling panels that open and close for year-round enjoyment, creating a true extension of the home's living spaces. Additional highlights include a fully integrated smart home system, large rooftop solar array with Tesla battery backup, whole-house filtered water system, and tankless water heater. A rare offering that combines timeless character, modern functionality, and an elevated outdoor lifestyle in one of Santa Monica's most sought-after neighborhoods, moments from Montana Avenue, top-rated schools, and the beach.
