About this home

Own a piece of AMERICAN HISTORY, 1906 Rustic Canyon original! If you're looking for a loud, bustling, traffic filled, neighborhood, this is not the home for you! If being surrounded by tropical landscaping, canopies of centuries old trees filled w/native birds, the calming, peaceful sound of water flowing thru Rustic creek & happy, waving neighbors passing by is more your speed, then this is exactly where you need to be. Situated on the most sought after street in Rustic Canyon, offered for the first time in over 45 years. Offering exceptional privacy and a true sense of retreat in one of Santa Monica's most coveted neighborhoods. This 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 & doors, professionally designed exterior hardscaping, decks, fencing, and lighting. The existing home offers a strong foundation and livable comfort today, while also presenting the opportunity to expand, enhance, or completely reimagine. Second story sleeping rooms, office, closet & bath were created from an attic conversion, boasting the ability to reconfigure to present day lifestyles. Whether restoring the charm, creating a larger custom residence, or blending indoor-outdoor living, the possibilities are exceptional. A peaceful canyon setting minutes from Wil/Ginger Rogers beach, canyon restaurants, 3rd St Promenade and all Santa Monica has to offer. Vacant and ready for its next chapter.
