This unparalleled Rustic Canyon masterpiece blends timeless Cape Cod charm with postmodern sophistication, set on an exceptionally rare estate parcel of approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of all flat, fully usable land. Perfectly positioned backing onto the banks of the serene Rustic Canyon Creek, the home is just minutes from Santa Monica yet retains the grace, privacy, and classic elegance that define this sought-after enclave. A secluded garden nestled within the woods rests beneath a canopy of tall, majestic trees. Surrounded by a richly established landscape, the property enjoys commanding views of towering redwoods, sycamores, and other historic, mature trees. The 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath residence offers a spacious living environment with an open floor plan, abundant natural light, and a gourmet kitchen ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Refined formal living and great rooms feature graceful ceiling lines, two fireplaces, an open flow, and elegant light wood floors. The inviting primary suite is filled with soft natural light, while the additional two bedrooms each exude a warm, woodsy ambiance unique to this canyon setting. Expansive windows frame the verdant grounds, a flat and lush landscape shaded by majestic trees and embraced by nature on all sides. Open the windows, and the gentle whisper of the babbling Rustic Creek drifts through the home, creating a sense of serenity that is both rare and restorative. All these elements harmonize to form an extraordinary setting, an unmatched retreat for the most discerning resident. First time on the market in 43 years. A truly exceptional opportunity to own a piece of lavish, living nature. Buyer to Verify Square Footage & Lot Dimensions.
