535 E Channel Rd

Ideally located within the highly coveted Santa Monica Canyon, this 1955 mid-century home has been painstakingly renovated by the creative vision of the owners', an architect, and art advisor. On approach past mature trees and over a flowing stream a private drive leads to a gated entrance. The main rooms of the A-frame post & beam are flooded with natural light through sliding glass doors and clerestory windows that create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The design creates an architectural sanctuary that blends a sophisticated interior with the tranquility of a secluded compound on almost half an acre. A thoughtfully designed layout includes an open-concept chef's kitchen with generous sit at island. The living and dining areas on either side include a built-in cocktail bar, wine storage and the room is anchored at each end by stately concrete hearths. The walls of glass perfectly frame the front yard with tranquil pool and spa, outdoor shower, multiple sitting and lounging areas, succulents, and views of mature trees and the exquisite topography of the canyon, perfect for ultimate relaxation. Intersecting the pitched roof structure a perpendicular hallway leads to the primary suite with a wall of closets and custom built-ins, and ensuite bathroom with dual vanity, oversized shower and direct access to the side-yard. Three additional rooms; two currently furnished as bedrooms with built-in work-from-home spaces, and a third media room or office with a walk-out patio facing the verdant hillside, a guest bath, and laundry area complete the interior. The side-yard of the home is surrounded by lush greenery and thoughtfully designed spaces with alfresco dining, barbecue, and outdoor living area with fireplace. An amazing place to entertain or ascend the rear hillside to a flat knoll area to sit, unwind and connect with nature. The home is fully furnished, with a collection of designer mid-century furniture, refined art, books, and offered turn-key with all amenities one would need. A short stroll to Santa Monica Canyon Charter School, eateries such as The Golden Bull, Giorgio Baldi, Delfini, Muse, Canyon Coffee and nearby Will Rogers Beach and bike path. A refined residence for discerning clientele.
