About this property

A truly exceptional European-inspired residence offering approximately 2,020 sq ft, this custom 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome with loft presents a rare opportunity within an intimate 7-unit boutique building. Designed and remodeled by a local developer as his personal residence, the home reflects elevated craftsmanship, timeless character, and thoughtfully curated luxury throughout. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light highlight reclaimed French oak parquet floors and hand-applied Venetian plaster walls, creating a warm and refined ambiance. The elegant living room is anchored by a striking French limestone fireplace and flows seamlessly into a formal dining area featuring a built-in, full-height 146-bottle Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, ideal for effortless entertaining. Beyond a graceful arched stone entry, the chef's kitchen is impeccably outfitted with a 43-inch La Cornue range from France, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, limestone floors and countertops, and a charming greenhouse window. The kitchen opens to a private, sun-filled patio, perfectly suited for outdoor entertaining or relaxed al fresco dining. The upper level offers 2 private bedroom suites and a generous loft, ideal as a den, home office, or potential 3rd bedroom, with plumbing access already in place if desired. The primary suite is a serene retreat featuring a custom limestone fireplace, motorized shades, grasscloth wallpaper, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with steam shower appointed with Blue Savoie marble, antique white and black marble floors, and bespoke European fixtures. Additional amenities include a rooftop deck, Lutron whole-home lighting system, house-wide architectural speaker system, AMX smart home system, premium custom hardware and finishes throughout, a downstairs bonus room ideal for storage or a gym, and 2 secure parking spaces in a gated garage. Ideally located near Santa Monica's shops and dining and just minutes from the beach, this residence offers a rare blend of European elegance and modern coastal California living.
