709 18th St, Santa Monica, CA 90402

Step into the charm of this Spanish Colonial Revival, just 18 blocks from the beach. A distinct turret tower makes a bold architectural statement, setting the tone for the timeless character found throughout the home. From the wrought iron gate welcoming you into the formal dining room, adorned with elegant crown molding, to the rounded archways and real wood floors that exude warmth and authenticity, every detail speaks to classic craftsmanship. Floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves line the hallway, offering both function and architectural interest, while shaker-style doors and closet doors add a cohesive, refined touch. The expanded, modernized kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with a central island perfect for gathering. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a remodeled bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower and double vanity, plus a generous walk-in closet and French doors that open to the serene backyard. In Santa Monica, parking can be a challenge--however, the ribbon driveway offers plenty of space for guests, in addition to the 2-car detached garage, making parking a dream. A discreet basement houses the tankless water heater and provides ample storage, seamlessly blending functionality with style. This home is the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern living.
