A Modern Masterpiece in the Heart of Santa Monica's Most Coveted Enclave. Nestled on one of Santa Monica's most prestigious and sought-after streets, just a half block from the iconic Palisades Bluffs, this architectural gem presents a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional residence. Set on an expansive 11,259 sq ft lot, this striking home- expertly reimagined by acclaimed architect Barbara Bestor, F.A.I.A. -seamlessly blends bold, modern design with refined livability. A dramatic entry leads into a sun-drenched open-concept living space anchored by vaulted ceilings and a sculptural poured-concrete fireplace. Oversized windows flood the interiors with natural light, creating an atmosphere of openness and serenity. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece in both form and function, boasting a professional-grade Wolf range, top-of-the-line appliances, a spacious center island with bar seating, and a built-in workstation - equally suited for casual mornings or elevated entertaining. The formal dining room offers effortless flow for entertaining, while the adjacent media den - complete with a built-in projection system - opens to a private front courtyard. This outdoor haven, framed by a covered porch and lush landscaping, is perfect for both intimate evenings under the stars and vibrant social gatherings. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a tranquil retreat, featuring soaring ceilings, a spa-caliber bath, and an expansive walk-in closet. On the lower level, two stylish bedrooms provide comfort and seclusion, while a dedicated office with its own ensuite bath offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom or creative studio. Design details such as polished concrete floors tell the story of the home's architectural evolution, adding texture and soul to the sophisticated aesthetic. Outdoors, the meticulously designed landscape - celebrated in the Los Angeles Times for its sustainability and use of native California plants - creates a serene and environmentally conscious sanctuary. The backyard features a built-in BBQ, in-ground fire pit, and hot tub, all surrounded by mature, drought-tolerant greenery that enhances both privacy and beauty. A solar system and a finished two-car garage with an electric charging station completes this rare offering, all just moments from the vibrant boutiques, restaurants, and cafes of Montana Avenue, and minutes from the beach. This is Santa Monica luxury living at its finest - where world-class design, sustainability, and California lifestyle converge.
