This home has forced central heating and air conditioning throughout. Indoor-Outdoor Living for the SoCal Lifestyle Enjoy morning coffee or evening gatherings on the charming patio beneath mature orange and avocado trees — a perfect space for private entertaining or relaxing. The detached two-car garage, accessible from the main patio and the side street, presents a great opportunity for ADU conversion. The space between the garage and the lot line offers room for a private patio or yard for a second dwelling, while preserving the privacy of the main home. Architectural Elegance & Comfort From the moment you arrive, curb appeal abounds: blooming flower beds, a lush green lawn, and a mature tree welcome you. The asymmetrical architecture, arched windows,and octagonal breakfast room set this home apart. Inside, step through the front door into a spacious, light-filled living room with volume barrel ceilings, a fireplace, and French windows overlooking the front garden. An arched entry leads to a large dining room with coved, molded ceilings and beautifully detailed French windows and doors. The open concept flow between living and dining rooms creates a sought-after great room feel. The original kitchen features charming tile countertops and leads into the octagonal breakfast room, complete with glass-front built-ins, high ceilings, and a crystal chandelier — all with views of the front garden. A service porch behind the kitchen offers additional utility space for washer/dryer and a refrigerator. A French door leads to the bedroom hallway. Originally a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, it now includes a permitted large primary bedroom suite with direct access to the spacious garden patio. One of the secondary bedrooms features a convenient quarter bath, while a third bedroom (or ideal office) shares access to the updated primary bath. Exceptional Location Situated just two blocks from the Santa Monica border, between Centinela and Bundy, with easy access to the Santa Monica10 freeway. Ideally located minutes from Santa Monica Beach, great shopping and schools plus LAX. Located on this desirable corner lot, the home is unobstructed by adjacent buildings, offering a greater sense of space, light, and privacy — a rare find in urban neighborhoods where homes often feel tightly packed.
