There's a warmth that lives in this home - the kind that comes from a space intentionally designed for gathering. Fully renovated and expanded in 2013, this North of Montana Cape Cod-style retreat was crafted for connection, celebration, and easy everyday living, with a layout that flows seamlessly from indoors to out and natural light pouring through oversized windows. Privately tucked behind mature hedges, the heart of the home is a massive great room that's played host to many large Thanksgiving dinners, Super Bowl Sundays, and quiet mornings alike. French doors on both sides open wide to bring the outside in, while wide-plank oak floors, coffered ceilings, wainscoting, and a cozy breakfast nook layer in timeless character. Whether you're relaxing on the sectional, pulling up a seat at the oversized island, or watching the game on one of three built-in TVs, the space invites people to linger. The chef's kitchen is both generous and grounding, with Caesarstone countertops, Wolf and SubZero appliances, a walk-in pantry, and seating at the island. A bedroom with en-suite bathroom, powder room, and laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, the sun-filled primary suite features vaulted ceilings, two spacious closets, and a spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, dual vanities, and two water closets. The second bedroom upstairs opens onto a large balcony - perfect for coffee, sunshine, or a quiet breath of fresh air. The 850 sq ft flex space offers endless possibilities. With its own entrance and stairwell, it's ideal as a home office, media room, recording studio, gym, or guest quarters - without disrupting the main house flow. Bluestone pavers define the tranquil outdoor space, where a crisp, lap-ready pool, turf lawn, and built-in BBQ set the stage for everything from lively summer pool parties to laid-back evening hangouts. There's room to lounge, dine, play, and unwind - surrounded by a blooming rose garden and fruit trees bearing plums, apples, lemons, tangerines, blood oranges, and peaches. Additional highlights include a welcoming front porch, an attached two-car garage with direct access, outdoor storage, and a location that embodies the best of Santa Monica - just one block from Palisades Park for incredible sunsets, and moments from the shops and cafes on Montana Ave.
