This is what a Santa Monica summer is supposed to feel like. Available July and August. Set on a rare, sprawling half-acre lot North of Montana, just steps from Palisades Park and the beach, this private, hedged estate offers an exceptional sense of space and seclusion in one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods. Surrounded by mature landscaping and towering hedges, the property feels like a true retreat while remaining close to everything, with Montana Avenue just moments away offering restaurants, shopping, coffee, groceries, fitness studios, and daily conveniences, making it easy to enjoy the neighborhood without relying on a car. The main residence is filled with natural light, featuring multiple living and entertaining spaces, a beautifully appointed kitchen with adjacent breakfast area, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow through French doors that open to the grounds. Upstairs, the home includes a serene primary suite, three secondary bedrooms, and an office, offering comfort and flexibility, while a guest room is conveniently located on the main level. Designed for effortless summer living, the outdoor spaces are both expansive and inviting, with a pool, fire pit, generous grassy lawn, a beautiful rose garden, and a private sport court for pickleball or paddle tennis. Multiple areas for dining and lounging create the perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding throughout the day. A Pilates studio on the grounds offers an added wellness element, and two e-bikes are available for use. With its rare scale, privacy, and timeless East Coast inspired architecture, this is a special opportunity to experience Santa Monica living at its finest.
