A rare opportunity to own one of North of Montana's most exceptional custom residences an architecturally striking contemporary Spanish home designed and built by the current owners in 2020 as a forever family home, and it shows in every detail. Spanning approximately 7,500 square feet across three thoughtfully designed levels, the home offers a scale and standard of finish that sets it apart even in one of Santa Monica's most distinguished neighborhoods. The main level centers on an extraordinary chef's kitchen appointed with a La Cornue range, three dishwashers, a Miele steamer, Wolf microwave, full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer columns, and an oversized island complemented by a fully equipped butler's pantry with white oak cabinetry, a dedicated Sub-Zero, wine refrigerator, and lockable bar. Expansive rear pocket doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, opening to the backyard and its private pool and jacuzzi for seamless California indoor-outdoor living, while Steelworks steel windows and doors frame every space with clean architectural precision. White oak flooring runs throughout, grounded by brass hardware, a black iron staircase, Moroccan zellige tile in the bathrooms, and Caesarstone countertops finishes that reflect the care and intention of owners who built this home to last. Upstairs, soaring ceilings and skylights throughout flood the floor with natural light and give the space a wonderfully open, airy quality. Four en-suite bedrooms include a primary suite with not one but two private balconies one off the bedroom, one off the bath along with two walk-in closets and a spa-caliber bath with steam shower and soaking tub. The lower level is perhaps the home's most distinctive feature a 2,500-plus square foot basement, no longer permittable under current code, housing a state-of-the-art theater, large lounge with wet bar, dedicated playroom, a guest bedroom with sauna and full bath, and substantial storage. A private enclosed front courtyard, two-car garage converted into a premium gym with rubber flooring, mirrored wall, and custom cabinetry, and an oversized mudroom with dual stacked washer/dryer sets round out an exceptionally well-considered home. The location is as coveted as the design itself steps from the boutiques and restaurants of Montana Avenue, moments from the beach, Brentwood, and Downtown Santa Monica, with easy connectivity across the entire Westside.
