Location, location, location! Situated on the most sought after street in Rustic Canyon, offered for the first time in over 45 years. Set among lush tropical landscaping & mature Oaks, the property offers exceptional privacy and a true sense of retreat in one of Santa Monica's most coveted neighborhoods. Built in 1906, this classic Craftsman cottage features a welcoming, oversized front porch to enjoy East Rustic Rd's micro-climate & the surrounding sounds of nature, including Rustic Creek. The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years, with upgrades including stainless steel appliances with a Bertazzoni range, solid wood details, dual-pane Anderson windows, and professionally designed exterior hardscaping, decks, fencing, and lighting. The existing home offers a strong foundation and livable comfort today, while presenting a rare opportunity to expand, enhance, or reimagine. Whether restoring the charm, creating a larger custom residence, or blending indoor-outdoor living, the possibilities are exceptional. A peaceful canyon setting moments from the beach, canyon restaurants and all Santa Monica has to offer. Vacant and ready for its next chapter.
