454 E Rustic Rd 3BR Santa Monica La

Location, location, location! Situated on the most sought after street in Rustic Canyon, offered for the first time in over 45 years. Set among lush tropical landscaping & mature Oaks, the property offers 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.
