Presenting this newly completed contemporary entertainer's home, gated and set back from a wide tree-lined street in a desirable northeast Santa Monica neighborhood. Thoughtfully placed drought-tolerant landscaping lines the perimeter as lush green grass complements the home's architectural facade. Rows of bamboo contribute to a serene, zen-like environment. Inside, barn doors slide to reveal a glass-enclosed living room with stone fireplace and modern chandelier, perfect for hosting guests and quiet conversation. The nearby guest bedroom can also be used as an office or study. White oak floors flow throughout the great room, from sitting area to dining and onward to the home's culinary center. The kitchen is equipped with custom refrigerator, chef-grade Wolf range with hood, sleek cabinetry, shimmering tile backsplash, porcelain counters, and center island with wine fridge and bar seating. Multi-slide doors open to maximize the courtyard for a coveted California indoor-outdoor lifestyle. An additional first-floor bedroom accesses the courtyard through sliding glass doors. Upstairs, an impressively expansive landing leads to a loft with built-in writing desk and cabinetry. The spacious primary suite continues the home's architectural design and features a kitchenette with elegant open shelving. Its en-suite bathroom is a beautiful spa-inspired retreat, with inspiring terrazzo tile floors, soaking tub set against a double-size rainwater shower, and dual-sink vanity.
