After four generations and more than 65 years, who will be the author of the next chapter for this storybook Santa Monica property? On an expansive 8020 sf lot, discover the three separate structures to value: the main home (built in 1926), the double garage situated in the middle of the property (added in 1932) and the rear double garage (added in 1936). Above the rear garage exists a bonus one-bedroom apartment whose square footage is NOT included in the 1926 sf totals. As you savor the 98-year-old main house, notice all the living spaces - living room, dining room, kitchen, office - are located downstairs in a circular floorplan while upstairs, all 4 bedrooms lie equally distributed around the central staircase and a shared single bathroom. The original details may captivate from the solid-core front door with speak-easy peep hole, the vintage glass doorknobs, the antique wood windows and original hardwood floors. Envision Dad, a skilled carpenter, with his young bride, as they expanded and raised their family of 5 children making use of every nook and corner. He built all the knotty pine cabinets and added the beams in the kitchen. His office shelving is one-of-a-kind. You will see that adding essential storage happened in every room. Necessity and creativity gave way to the sewing room becoming a "dormer" for the eldest sister to have privacy from her older brothers and younger sisters. The gracious backyard has been a playground for family, friends and neighbors for decades. With street to alley privacy, walkability to the famously fantastic Franklin Elementary School and all the riches a Santa Monica lifestyle offers, please join me to experience a nearly century old homestead creation that continues to radiate warmth and heart.
