A custom banquette, anchored by a stunning glass greenhouse-style window, creates an inviting dining space that feels distinctly Parisian while filling the room with natural light. Waterworks fixtures and hardware continue the home's commitment to exceptional quality and thoughtful design.The bathrooms, particularly the primary suite bath, are true design sanctuaries, featuring Ann Sacks tile, Waterworks fixtures throughout, custom cabinetry, and designer lighting fixtures that elevate each space with understated sophistication. The expansive, nearly 700sf rooftop terrace offers lush treetop views and an exceptional outdoor culinary experience, complete with a fully appointed chef's kitchen featuring a built-in Artisan BBQ grill, sink, and undercounter refrigerator, all beautifully integrated into a custom Dekton surface for sophisticated open-air dining and entertaining. Additional highlights include direct access from the three-car side-by-side garage into the residence, a versatile lower-level bonus space complete with a sink, beverage refrigerator alcove, and custom cabinetry- ideal for entertaining, guests, a home office, gym, or media lounge creating a seamless connection between the home and its picturesque surroundings. Additional features include Fleetwood doors, herringbone oak floors, custom ordered lighting fixtures by Una Malan (living room and dining room), Waterstreet Brass hardware, custom cabinetry, and countless bespoke details throughout. Located directly across from Douglass Park and within the highly coveted Franklin Elementary School District, this exceptional residence is just minutes from Erewhon, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Montana Avenue, Brentwood Country Mart, Farm Shop, Forma, Caffe Luxxe, and an exceptional collection of Santa Monica's most popular restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood hotspots, offering an unmatched blend of luxury design and everyday convenience.
