Charming home on a large corner lot in prime Santa Monica! This charming single family home offers a thoughtfully designed floor plan, featuring a spacious living room bathed in natural light, a formal dining room that sets the stage for memorable gatherings, and a generous kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ensuring both functionality and comfort. Escape to the enchanting private backyard oasis that provides the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining, leisurely afternoons, and year-round California living at its finest. Located just moments away from LA’s vibrant dining, shopping, Farmers Markets, and grocery stores like Erewhon, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Bristol Farms, every convenience is at your fingertips. Plus, families will appreciate the proximity to Santa Monica’s top-rated schools, ensuring a quality education for young learners. Plus, explore the added opportunity of converting the garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing additional living space or rental income. Huge Development/Investment Potential: Build up to a 13-unit apartment/condo building on the site with the application of the State Density Bonus Law and State Multifamily ADU Law. Because this property qualifies for the State Density Bonus Law, a developer could build up to 4 stories (instead of 2) and get significantly reduced setbacks on all sides. Because the property is on a corner with an alley, any development would be open on 3 sides – allowing for great sunlight and unobstructed views. Because the development would be replacing a single family home that is not subject to rent control, the new development would also be exempt from both city and state rent control – a huge and rare advantage in a jurisdiction like Santa Monica. This property has the potential to be a true trophy asset and cash cow in one of the strongest rental markets in the nation.
