A truly exceptional offering in one of Santa Monica's most coveted neighborhoods. Perched at the crest of the hill on prestigious Franklin Street, this rare property is one of only a handful of homes that captures sweeping views from both the front and rear of the residence. Set on a generously proportioned 11k+ lot with wide frontage, 946 Franklin showcases beautiful ocean vistas, sparkling city lights, and panoramic skyline views that are increasingly difficult to find. Whether envisioned as the site of a world-class custom estate or the canvas for a thoughtful renovation and expansion, the possibilities are extraordinary. The existing residence spans more than 3,500 square feet and features a traditional floor plan with four bedrooms, including dual en-suite bedrooms on both the main and lower levels. Expansive upper-level living spaces open to stunning vistas, while a future rooftop deck could unlock even more dramatic ocean and city views. Recent updates, including a remodeled kitchen and beautiful oak hardwood floors, provide an excellent foundation for immediate enjoyment or future transformation. Rarely does a property combine such remarkable views, generous scale, and redevelopment potential in such a premier location. Ideally situated near Brentwood Country Club, Montana Avenue's acclaimed shops and restaurants, the Country Mart, and the beaches of Santa Monica, this is a unique opportunity to create a legacy property in one of the Westside's most sought-after enclaves.
