A bold and beautifully tailored Santa Monica Canyon residence, recently reimagined to near perfection. Set discreetly behind privacy gates, the secure compound unfolds with a motor court, pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and sweeping canyon-to-ocean vistas. The main living level floats above the street, where a dramatic great room defined by hand-carved beam ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the home with warmth and character. The kitchen, anchored by an inviting dining area, flows effortlessly to an alfresco dining deck overlooking the estate and distant ocean, while a cozy den offers a more intimate retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms, and the lower level reveals a fully appointed guest suite paired with a stylish living and entertainment lounge that opens seamlessly to the outdoors. Thoughtfully designed for both privacy and ease, this refined Santa Monica Canyon retreat balances architectural character with effortless California living.
