817 22nd Street

Located just off the prestigious Montana Ave. in Santa Monica, this storybook property has an ambience that can't be captured by photos alone. The front yard greets you with lush landscaping of silver sheens and white roses, with a brand-new walkway leading up to the front doorsteps. Step inside to an expansive living room with brand new Anderson windows throughout (including motorized shades on the front facing panel windows), leading into the sun-drenched dining room. From the dining room there are two directions to take -- go left, and enter into the updated kitchen and family room (which leads out to the equally lush backyard) -- or go right, past a powder room, and enter into a hallway with three bedrooms. The first bedroom with half bath is full of light and has an alcove that serves well as office space. The second bedroom could also be multi-purposed as an office. Finally, step into the primary bedroom at the end of the hall replete with two large California closets, an en suite bathroom with stand-alone tub, a vaulted ceiling with wooden beams, and French doors leading out to the backyard. The backyard is a private oasis of blossoming flowers and bushes, as well as containing a large detached guesthouse/rec room with full bath and an oversized storage room. (This structure is not included in the listed 2,108 square footage.) Also adjoining the outside of the rec room is a pergola with dining table, perfect for al fresco dining. All in all, this is a one-of-a-kind property and not to be missed.
