A one of a kind property situated on one of Los Angeles' most coveted streets. The nearly half-acre parcel offers a beautiful flat park-like setting just blocks from Montana Avenue and the beach giving you the unusual opportunity to enjoy both open space and privacy without having to lose a sense of community. Secluded on an expansive lot, 540 Adelaide was clearly created to take full advantage of its natural setting with stunning canyon and ocean views surrounding it. The existing 5 bedroom residence with pool house immediately takes you back in time. As you walk through the main living spaces, your mind wonders to an era of sophistication and style. The property yearns for one to bring it back to all of its glory or reimagine the lot. The main living spaces offer seamless indoor and outdoor living and the greenery, ocean and canyon that surrounds you can be captured on both levels drawing the outside in. Stroll through rose gardens, lounge by the pool or simply rest on the grass with a book - you will never want to leave!

Perched at the highest point of Berkeley Street in Santa Monica, Casa Tramonto is more than a home - it's a story, an experience, and a retreat. From the moment you ascend the private driveway, a sense of calm takes over, carried by breathtaking views that capture both sunrise and sunset across the city, ocean, and mountains. Every detail of this reimagined estate speaks to thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless design. Local artisans built custom oak cabinetry and vanities throughout, paired with Kalista fixtures and an artful mix of natural stone, tile, and porcelain. Wide-plank white oak floors ground the interiors, while oversized oak doors with reeded glass and Rejuvenation hardware add character and warmth. Light floods through fully extendable glass doors, opening each room to balconies and breezes. Belgian linen dressings frame windows, and every bedroom offers a private moment among the trees. This home offers a highly functional layout with four bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom downstairs, and an additional office/den space perfect for work or a gym. The newly resurfaced exterior and refreshed landscaping bring the property into harmony with its setting, now surrounded by 60 mature trees and enhanced by thoughtfully updated lighting. The backyard is an invitation to linger - swim in the updated pool, unwind by the fountain, or simply soak in the serenity. Behind the beauty, modern systems provide peace of mind: two tankless water heaters, dual-zone HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, and two laundry spaces. Designed by Lizabeth K. McGraw of Tumbleweed & Dandelion and built by American Valley Builders, Casa Tramonto is a rare work of art.

A moment in time...A magical chrysalis over almost 100 years has transformed an original 1928 weekend cabin, designed by Heth Wharton as a weekend retreat in the exclusive Rustic Canyon Uplifters Ranch, into the storybook reprieve that currently presents. A soulful 3-story English Tudor captivates with a sense of whimsy and irresistible character. Beamed cathedral ceilings and custom herringbone wood flooring coalesce classic and cool. Delightful stained-glass windows cast dancing colors throughout the day's evolving sunlight. Period vintage lighting elevates the emotional experience in each room. Each of the 5 en suite bedrooms offers a unique intimacy. The crowning third floor is a dreamy, sun-dappled, romantic primary retreat with tree-top views of the property's soothing grounds. The ground floor is believed to have been the genesis of the original 20's home which is emphasized by a theatrical lounge and an authentic speakeasy, still hidden behind secret doors, used to entertain members of the Uplifters during prohibition. Detached 3 car garage with spacious studio above. The most recent addition to this sentimental property is a sparkling saline +/- 54 foot saline swimming pool and jacuzzi. Expansive verdant environs marry a heavenly and enchanting estate in a divine canyon sanctuary.
