Description
Welcome to this private tri-level oasis tucked away on one of Santa Monica Canyon's most serene and coveted streets. Perched on a knoll and surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this charming villa-style residence offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and approximately 1,950 square feet of thoughtfully refreshed living space.Ideally located at the beginning of West Rustic Road, the home feels worlds away from the city while remaining just moments from the beach and the beloved restaurants and shops along West Channel Road. Inside, warm architectural details include wood-beamed ceilings, a decorative fireplace in the spacious primary suite, and multiple balconies showcasing picturesque canyon and treetop views. The flexible tri-level floor plan features two bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, with an additional bedroom and full bath on the ground level + a 4th laundry/office. Thoughtfully cared for and recently brought back to life, improvements include new interior and exterior paint, refreshed landscaping, drainage and waterproofing work, and roof and deck upgrades. A rare opportunity to experience the privacy, character and natural beauty that make Santa Monica Canyon one of Los Angeles' most special enclaves.
