About this home
A contemporary end-unit Santa Monica townhome crowned by a private 400 sq ft rooftop deck with panoramic ocean, mountain, &city views. Set a half block from Montana Avenue's boutiques and cafes, this multi-level home blends volume, light, and luxe upgrades: soaring ceilings, updated Italian-oak floors, and walls of windows and sliders that invite sunshine and ocean breezes into every room. Arrive via a gated complex on a quiet, upscale street. A palm- and succulent-lined breezeway leads to the private end unit. The location is exceptionally walkable: steps to 100+ shops and restaurants on Montana Ave. Within just a block you'll find a library, coffee, salons, and multiple eateries and retailers. Three blocks to Whole Foods, Target, & the historic Aero Theater. Minutes to the beach and the world-famous Santa Monica Pier. Perched high on 17th Street, the home's elevation and building height deliver blue-water views from the bedrooms and roof deck, plus cross-breezes throughout. Wake up to a glimpse of the Pacific. In the spa-level primary bath, indulge in a steam shower or switch to the rain head and five body sprays. Customizable lighting sets the mood while a shower window frames Catalina's silhouette. The beautifully updated kitchen features Spanish subway tile, white quartz counters, and matte-black smart appliances, including a French-door oven with LED touch screen. The dramatic living room boasts 17 ft ceilings and a towering custom built-in with integrated lighting and a smooth-rolling 10 ft library ladder. A guest bedroom sits on the second level beside a reading or office nook. Primary BR and add are on the third level. The 1st-floor dining room opens to a side porch perfect for a bistro breakfast, herb garden, or outdoor grill. Thoughtful upgrades appear everywhere: sleek screwless switch plates, in-wall USB outlets on every floor, three recessed outlets for flush-mounted TVs, double handrails on all stairwells, two dishwashers for effortless cleanup at kitchen and roofdeck level or catered entertaining, and soft-close cabinetry with built-in bamboo organizers. Recently updated systems include a high-capacity water heater, oven, microwave, dishwashers, garage door opener, and shower thermostat. The show stopping roof deck is an entertainer's dream. With gas, water, and electricity, plus an adjoining kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, and dishwasher, it is made for sunset dinners, weekend lounging under a cabana, game days on an outdoor TV, or slow mornings watching hawks ride the updrafts. A rare 400 sqft basement bonus room offers flexible use: refined game room, playroom, gym, or true home theater. The semi-subterranean cinder-block construction provides excellent sound isolation and allows total darkness. In the corner is a small office with acoustic insulation and built-in California Closets storage, ideal for recording or deep work. Technology and comfort converge in the turnkey smart-home package: 100+ Philips Hue lights with 16 million colors, 6 security cameras, smart doorbell and deadbolt, smart garage door and thermostat, 3 True HEPA air purifiers, 11 voice assistants, and motion sensors. All devices are pre-connected to Apple HomeKit and ready to transfer to your iPhone. Control by voice or with the included iPad. Cue whole-home music, dim lights, or adjust climate with a simple command. Pre-programmed automations power down lights, music, and HVAC when the home is unoccupied. On return they resume. Each floor has an ethernet jack for hardwired internet, and an Orbi mesh WiFi system with seven satellites delivers gigabit-class speeds throughout. Prefer low tech instead? The property can be delivered with all smart devices removed or replaced with analog. Option to purchase furnished for a seamless, low-stress move-in. This rare blend of modern design, luxury amenities, & postcard-worthy views captures the best of Santa Monica beach-city living from sunrise breezes to Pacific-pink sunsets.
