827 Yale Street, Santa Monica, CA 90403

A rare opportunity to own a timeless Spanish home on a spacious nearly 8,000 sf lot in Santa Monica's tightly held College Streets. The main house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths across 1,493 square feet, plus a 336-square-foot detached bonus room and a detached garage with utility room, both structures set off the alley at the rear of the lot to maximize yard space and leave room to expand. Enter through a barrel-vaulted ceiling and oculus that lend the home instant character, flowing into a beautiful living room anchored by an original Spanish fireplace and French doors opening to the patio. Original hardwood floors run throughout, alongside classic period details: wrought iron chandeliers in the dining room and breakfast nook, built-in shelving and a coved archway leading into the kitchen, which opens to the backyard. The primary suite features its own fireplace, a bay window overlooking the greenery and sounds of the trickling koi pond, and an adjoining third bedroom, currently set up as a sitting room, with French doors to the patio. The en-suite bath includes a separate shower and soaking tub; the hall bath offers a separate shower and soaking tub as well, with a skylight overhead. Outside, an expansive backyard oasis includes a koi pond, mature citrus, apple, and fig trees, and a garden growing strawberries, blackberries, and passion fruit. Ideally located on a tree-lined Collegiate street just moments from Montana Avenue, Brentwood Country Mart, Brentwood Country Club, the Brentwood Farmers Market, Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, and Erewhon, and within the acclaimed Franklin Elementary School district. Surrounded by upscale, neighborhood-centric shops and restaurants.
