Welcome to this well-maintained, charming contemporary home set back from the street with a grassy lawn, meticulous landscaping, and mature trees, all lovingly cared for by the same owner since its original construction. A shaded pathway leads to the attractive and inviting front door, as geometric shape is reflected across many features of its exterior, from the lofty cubic overhead to the glass-block windows that capture and distribute natural light within. Inside, rich wood floors flow from each space to the next. The light-filled foyer leads to the step-down living room which includes vaulted ceilings, tiled fireplace, and large picture windows. To the other side, a library has built-in book shelves, perfect for office or study. Nearby, the dining room has French doors that open to delightful florals outside. The kitchen features bright white cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and granite-topped L-shaped center island with cooktop and breakfast bar. The family room, currently configured as a dining room/lounge space, features a fireplace and French doors framing lush greenery. The primary bedroom has vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, floating fireplace, private balcony, and en-suite bathroom with large jetted tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and dual-sink vanity. Architectural elements are continued throughout the home. Secondary bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and bright. In the backyard, dine al-fresco on one of many patios, relax and entertain near a soothing water feature, or lounge on the sun deck. Lush plantings, flowers, and hedges together form a refuge offering supreme solace and leisure under blue California skies. Above the detached garage is a fully permitted ADU, perfect for a gym, artist's studio, or additional income potential. Experience life in one of the most desirable and thriving areas of Santa Monica, near parks and schools, Trader Joe's, Erewhon, and Fia steak house, just moments to beaches, shopping, dining, major freeways, and the many reasons that make this coastal community a favorite of visitors and locals alike.
