A century of Santa Monica character meets a thoughtful modern transformation in this beautifully reimagined 1908 Craftsman, set on an expansive double lot in the heart of Ocean Park. Completely renovated and expanded in 2023, the residence preserves the warmth and architectural character of its origins while introducing a sophisticated new level of design, comfort, and functionality. Old-growth trees, lush landscaping, and gates seclude the corner property from view, creating an unexpected sense of privacy just blocks from the beach. Inside, the home feels warm, bright, and considered, with original character informing the spaces without limiting them. The main level flows naturally from a spacious living room centered around a wood-burning brick fireplace to a dedicated office with a powder room and a sunlit dining area, where French doors open to the rear deck. Character moldings lend depth to the interiors, while integrated surround sound and carefully selected finishes reflect modern living. The kitchen was completely reimagined as the home's natural gathering point. A waterfall-edge island anchors the space, complemented by custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. An adjacent family room keeps the atmosphere relaxed and connected, while a custom wet bar with temperature-controlled wine storage adds another layer of hosting functionality. Upstairs, three bedrooms are joined by a dedicated laundry room with built-in storage and a folding station. Vaulted ceilings bring a sense of volume to the primary suite, where a private terrace peers into the surrounding treetops. The expanded walk-in closet features custom organization, while the spa-inspired bathroom creates a serene retreat with dual vanities, generous linen storage, a soaking tub beneath a sculptural pendant, and a decadent steam shower. French doors open to reveal the true scale of the double lot: an expansive, highly private backyard oasis rarely found on the Westside. A deck spanning the rear of the residence creates a shaded setting for al fresco dining, complete with a built-in barbecue, before opening to a sprawling lawn framed by mature trees, citrus, and lush hedging. A putting green and outdoor shower add to a backyard designed for year-round enjoyment. A versatile two-car garage with built-in storage and two additional driveway parking spaces complete the property. The setting places some of the Westside's most beloved destinations within easy reach. Rose Avenue's restaurants and boutiques are moments away, the beach is just blocks from home, and Abbot Kinney, the Santa Monica Pier, and Third Street Promenade are all within minutes. Rich in original character yet thoroughly renewed for modern California living, this Ocean Park Craftsman presents a distinctive opportunity to experience one of Santa Monica's most vibrant coastal neighborhoods from a remarkably serene setting.

Trees line the streets, the courtyard, your private patio, and the views from your windows, a fitting bonus for a home that already feels touched by magic. It has the size, the townhome layout, the outdoor space, and the convenience that tops every wishlist, all wrapped in real architectural character. It's everything you'll want, tucked into the Wilmont area, one of the best and most walkable pockets of Santa Monica. //Arrive on foot through the courtyard walkway, or through your private garage behind its own automatic gate. Either way, a formal foyer welcomes you home. From there, the stairs lead up to the living room. Double-height ceilings rise overhead, the tall walls practically ask for artwork, and the stained glass windows cast soft color across the room. It feels open in a way that's rare in Santa Monica, and it stays naturally cool and calm, a place to sink into comfortably at the end of any day. //The living room, formal dining room, and kitchen flow together in a layout made for gathering. Think long dinners, birthday toasts, and holidays where no one wants to leave. Off the living room, a large private patio adds an outdoor room for potted herbs, ocean breezes, and summer evenings that run late. //The kitchen has been fully renovated with Caesarstone counters, painted wood cabinetry, and Thermador and Viking appliances. The breakfast nook is made for slow mornings and coffee with a view. From there, step out onto an oversized south-facing balcony with no immediate neighbor. Instead of someone else's windows, you look out on ivy, swaying palms, warm brick, and a wide stretch of sky. The southern exposure fills the home with sunshine, and the balcony catches the pink glow of the sky at sunrise and sunset alike. //Upstairs, the two bedrooms feel like private retreats. Each is generously sized, with high ceilings and its own en-suite bath. The primary suite adds a walk-in closet and a gas fireplace, ready for cozy evenings once the fall nights turn cool. Skylights added in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and hall pull daylight and fresh air deep into the home, so even gray mornings feel bright. Between the bedrooms and the main living areas, a loft landing makes an ideal home office or reading nook. //The home has been extensively remodeled with care. Bamboo wood floors and tile run throughout, recessed LED lighting keeps the ceilings clean, and modern railings frame the stairs. The primary bath and the downstairs half bath have been fully remodeled while keeping a tasteful sense of character. //The behind-the-scenes details are just as thoughtful. There's central air and heat from a recently installed heat pump, a new tankless gas water heater, and a dedicated laundry room with a stacked Frigidaire washer and dryer and an added utility sink. Through your own private gate, the attached, street-level, side-by-side two-car garage makes coming home easy, with extra storage for surfboards, bikes, and all the gear that comes with the Santa Monica lifestyle. //Then there's the neighborhood. The people are friendly, the buildings are kept at a human scale, and trees and greenery are everywhere you look. SMMUSD boasts some of the most elite Westside schools from primary through college prep. Wilshire and Montana are a short walk away, and so is nearly everything else: favorite restaurants, shopping, and even your doctor and dentist. This is a place where you can leave the car in the garage and spend the day on foot. //Ask the owners of more than two decades to describe their home, and they'll tell you it's welcoming and easy to live in. Fall is their favorite season here, when the weather is at its best. The rooms are spacious, the home is full of air and light, and the finishes are lovely. Most of all, it has a quiet enchantment, and it feels like home.
