A true classic and rare Tudor designed by famed architect John Byers in Santa Monica's prestigious Gillette Regent Square (please visit TheByersTudor.com for more information about the home and its architect, the approved plans, and a video showcase of the property), this 3,974 square-foot home sits on a large lot with no alley that is just under 9,000 square feet. This rare lot size offers ample room to add a swimming pool and create your own private oasis. The lush front lawn welcomes you to a thoughtfully landscaped property that continues into a serene, tree-lined backyard ideal for relaxation and outdoor entertaining. Inside, rich architectural details abound. A gracious formal living room greets you upon entry and flows seamlessly into a warm, character-rich family room with wood-beamed ceilings. Both living spaces feature elegant gas and wood-burning fireplaces, while a custom wet bar creates the perfect setting for effortless entertaining. The heart of the home can be found in the generous chef's kitchen, which is outfitted with custom wood cabinetry, a large central island, and a sunny breakfast nook. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining room, perfect for hosting family dinners and holiday celebrations. A flexible guest suite completes the downstairs and offers versatility for visitors, a home office, or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the sunlit primary suite overlooks the backyard and boasts a spacious en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and abundant storage. Three additional bedrooms and two more full bathrooms complete the upper level. Classic architectural elements including dual staircases and hardwood flooring add to the home's enduring appeal. This idyllic home is just minutes from world-famous Riviera Country Club, Brentwood Country Club, Brentwood Country Mart, Montana Avenue's restaurants and shops, and well-known dining options on Ocean Avenue. Families will appreciate the close proximity to Santa Monica's award-winning schools, including Franklin and Roosevelt Elementary and Lincoln Middle School. Included in the sale are approved plans that are two years in the making for both interior and exterior improvements as well as an ADU above the detached garage. This gives you the option to take advantage of the approved plans to enhance and update the home or enjoy this architectural gem as is.
