Property Description

OFFER DEADLINE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7 @ 3:00PM. Palm Springs meets Sunset Park. Reminiscent of a marred mid-century rambler motel in the California desert, this cool and composed concrete block classic compound cleverly combines a 2424 square foot "U-shaped" single story floor plan in the main home with an extra wide garage and adjacent workshop that will certainly capture the creative's curious heart. Superbly situated above the street on a sprawling 6998 square foot lot (per assessor) and featuring a charming covered front porch, the understated entrance opens onto an expansive living area punctuated by a statement fireplace and seldomly seen backlit soffits while seamlessly flowing into the spacious dining room and kitchen for easy breezy entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Bathed in natural light and enveloping the tranquil central flagstone courtyard, numerous doors and steel casement windows create an airy ambiance and perfectly balance the bedroom wing featuring a private primary suite at the end of a lengthy vestibule. Some might salvage the Saltillo tile floors, plantation shutters, generous closet space and built-in bookshelves, while super sophisticated tastes might start from scratch and scrape the interior or the entire structure for that matter to conceive a one-of-a-kind Santa Monica sanctuary supremely sited overlooking the recently proposed "Great Park" and offering views of the Marina and beyond. Completing the package is close proximity to sumptuous public/private schools including Grant Elementary or Crossroads and a standalone 2-car detached garage + an equally large workshop space that could make a serious ADU, office, gym, playroom, or studio. Sold as-is without credits or repairs, this extraordinary "trust sale" without court confirmation is an exciting opportunity for visionary owner/users, developers, and flippers alike. Undeniably chic and an extra special treat for anyone seeking a uniquely beautiful blank canvas with phenomenal upside potential.
