Opportunities like this simply don't come along in Santa Monica Canyon. Tucked along Rustic Canyon Creek on a quiet, tree-lined street, this traditional two-story residence sits on an expansive 13,748-square-foot sloped canyon lot in one of the most coveted and rarely available pockets of 90402. Properties at this scale, on this street, in this neighborhood do not reach the open market often and when they do, they don't last. The home is being sold in as-is condition and needs work which is precisely the opportunity. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout offers solid bones: soaring entry ceilings, original wood floors, dual fireplaces, a primary suite with private balcony, French doors opening to the backyard, and an oversized two-car garage with direct access. What it needs is a buyer with vision. The sloped lot is the canvas. Terraced gardens, a hillside pool, cantilevered outdoor living decks, a fully reimagined luxury estate, the topography here invites the kind of architectural drama that flat lots simply can't deliver. Bring your architect, your designer, and your imagination. Minutes from Canyon Charter Elementary, from the beach, Santa Monica Stairs, premier dining, and the 3rd Street Promenade. Surrounded by nature, connected to everything. This is your chance to secure an irreplaceable address in the heart of "The Canyon" and tailor this exceptional residence to reflect your personal vision and lifestyle.
