Introducing this authentic and fully renovated 1928 Dutch colonial revival home, designed by famed local Santa Monica architect, Henry C. Hollwedel. Adorned with Hollwedel's accented signature "crescent moon" embossed window shutters, this classic property was reimagined and fully remodeled with extensive square footage added in 2022. The restoration commenced with a "down to the studs" re-build that painstakingly blended the home's historical hallmark features while seamlessly blending in contemporary finishes consistent with the design trends of the 1920's. This two story main house and detached guest house now total almost 4,500 square feet of luxury coastal living with five-bedroom suites plus an office/study with custom built-ins. Four of these bedroom suites are situated upstairs, including the primary retreat that boasts Fleetwood doors seamlessly connected to an oversized deck overlooking the expansive grassy and lushly landscaped backyard which centers around a close to "olympic-sized" swimming pool with built-in spa and motorized pool cover. The home's main level consists of a perfectly positioned large guest bedroom suite along with a formal dining room, a formal living room, and a powder room. The fully outfitted custom-designed gourmet kitchen offers a Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package, two dishwashers, a huge center island, custom cabinetry, an adjacent breakfast nook, and an oversized walk-in pantry that exhibits wrap around countertops, upper and lower built-ins, and functions as an extension of the kitchen or a prep-kitchen to free-up space in the main area. The entire kitchen area is completely open and directly connected to the family room which is flooded with natural light thanks to another set of Fleetwood multi panel pocketing doors that provided direct access to an expansive patio, ideal for entertaining, relaxing or just enjoying the Southern California sun and cool ocean breezes. The property also showcases a close to 400 square foot detached guest house/ADU outfitted with a full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. This exceptional residence has all the modern amenities one would expect from a newly constructed modern-day home but still maintains all the original characteristics of an architecturally significant property which is an uncommon find in today's competitive and challenging Westside real estate market. As just one example, this classic house still maintains the beautifully detailed and fully restored 1928 entryway, metal/wood work, staircase and front door. Special care and attention was placed on all the new and designer-done finishes so they would feel current but also consistent with a 1920's era designed home. The house is situated on a sixty foot wide North Santa Monica Gillette Regent Square lot. The lot is also approximately nine thousand square feet - one of the largest standard lot sizes in this North of Montana neighborhood. On property, parking for up to seven cars plus is available, thanks to a long gated driveway. North of Montana is one the most widely desired and valuable enclaves on the westside. The property is closely connected to all the boutique shops on Montana Avenue, award winning North Santa Monica schools, world class dining, shopping, farmers market, fitness studios, Erewhon, Soul Cycle, parks, and also just moments from Santa Monica Will Rogers State Beach! Enjoy endless outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, beach days, and bike paths. SoCal coastal living with quick access to all the Westside endlessly offers.
