Description

If you are you looking for a bustling, traffic filled, busy lifestyle, this is not the home for you! If being surrounded by tropical landscaping & canopies of centuries old trees filled with parrots & native birds, the calming, peaceful sound of water flowing thru Rustic creek, or happy, waving neighbors taking in the scenery is more your speed, then this is exactly where you need to be. Situated on the most sought after street in Rustic Canyon, offered for the first time in over 45 years. Offering exceptional privacy and a true sense of retreat in one of Santa Monica's most coveted neighborhoods. Built in 1906, this classic Craftsman cottage features a welcoming, oversized front porch to enjoy East Rustic Rd's micro-climate & the surrounding sounds of nature, including Rustic Creek. The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years, with upgrades including stainless steel appliances with a Bertazzoni range, solid wood details, dual-pane Anderson windows, and professionally designed exterior hardscaping, decks, fencing, and lighting. The existing home offers a strong foundation and livable comfort today, while presenting a rare opportunity to expand, enhance, or reimagine. Second story space is an attic conversion. Whether restoring the charm, creating a larger custom residence, or blending indoor-outdoor living, the possibilities are exceptional. A peaceful canyon setting moments from the beach, canyon restaurants and all Santa Monica has to offer. Vacant and ready for its next chapter.
