Built with a combination of glass, metal, block and stucco walls, every room has panoramic views. The home sits on 1.6 acres, offering an idyllic blend of privacy and natural beauty. The open-concept kitchen and living area offer a choice of dining and gathering areas, and opens to the large tiled patio. The soaring 9+ foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the space with natural light while framing the incredible views. From the primary suite experience the twinkling city lights , fog rolling in from the coast and glorious sunrises. On clear nights you can see the lights of the Ferris Wheel on Santa Monica Pier, and snow capped mountains in the winter. Incredible views can be seen from the sunken tub, surrounded by floor to ceiling glass. The private driveway beyond the block walls accommodates ample guest parking, complemented by the detached 2-car garage with kitchenette and bonus room for added convenience.
