Traditional

Extremely charming, extensively remodeled Seaside Traditional perched on a dramatic promontory site with spectacular, unobstructed ocean and canyon views from every room in desirable Santa Monica Canyon. Situated in close proximity to the beach and beloved neighborhood restaurants, this sun-filled gem is the former home of acclaimed and widely published designer Jeffrey Alan Marks who remodeled the home with great taste, quality and captivating aesthetic with equal parts formal English home and California beach cottage. Since then, the current owner has thoughtfully enhanced the interiors with additional aesthetic updates, further refining the home's charm and individuality while maintaining the essence of Marks' original vision. Vaulted wide planked ceilings, tongue and groove paneling, two fireplaces, extensive built-ins, French doors throughout and wonderful surprises at every turn. Welcoming, private courtyard entry leads to open living & dining areas and fabulous cook's kitchen which are all flooded in natural light and open to the outdoors. There are two bedrooms, including a second floor primary suite with awe-inspiring views of the Santa Monica bay and the entire canyon, fireplace, sitting room/sunroom with built-in day-bed, hotel-like bath and large fitted walk-in closet. Attached guest cottage with separate entrance and private garden. Large street-to-street lot features lovely private gardens with various sitting areas and room for pool and/or ADU. Other features include a paneled butler's pantry/bar and a direct-access private garage. Truly a one-of-a-kind jewel-box home offering the most extraordinary setting and very best California lifestyle!
