A century of Santa Monica character meets a thoughtful modern transformation in this beautifully reimagined 1908 Craftsman, set on an expansive double lot in the heart of Ocean Park. Completely renovated and expanded in 2023, the residence preserves the warmth and architectural character of its origins while introducing a sophisticated new level of design, comfort, and functionality. Old-growth trees, lush landscaping, and gates seclude the corner property from view, creating an unexpected sense of privacy just blocks from the beach. Inside, the home feels warm, bright, and considered, with original character informing the spaces without limiting them. The main level flows naturally from a spacious living room centered around a wood-burning brick fireplace to a dedicated office with a powder room and a sunlit dining area, where French doors open to the rear deck. Character moldings lend depth to the interiors, while integrated surround sound and carefully selected finishes reflect modern living. The kitchen was completely reimagined as the home's natural gathering point. A waterfall-edge island anchors the space, complemented by custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. An adjacent family room keeps the atmosphere relaxed and connected, while a custom wet bar with temperature-controlled wine storage adds another layer of hosting functionality. Upstairs, three bedrooms are joined by a dedicated laundry room with built-in storage and a folding station. Vaulted ceilings bring a sense of volume to the primary suite, where a private terrace peers into the surrounding treetops. The expanded walk-in closet features custom organization, while the spa-inspired bathroom creates a serene retreat with dual vanities, generous linen storage, a soaking tub beneath a sculptural pendant, and a decadent steam shower. French doors open to reveal the true scale of the double lot: an expansive, highly private backyard oasis rarely found on the Westside. A deck spanning the rear of the residence creates a shaded setting for al fresco dining, complete with a built-in barbecue, before opening to a sprawling lawn framed by mature trees, citrus, and lush hedging. A putting green and outdoor shower add to a backyard designed for year-round enjoyment. A versatile two-car garage with built-in storage and two additional driveway parking spaces complete the property. The setting places some of the Westside's most beloved destinations within easy reach. Rose Avenue's restaurants and boutiques are moments away, the beach is just blocks from home, and Abbot Kinney, the Santa Monica Pier, and Third Street Promenade are all within minutes. Rich in original character yet thoroughly renewed for modern California living, this Ocean Park Craftsman presents a distinctive opportunity to experience one of Santa Monica's most vibrant coastal neighborhoods from a remarkably serene setting.

Built in 1912, much of the home's original architectural integrity has been beautifully preserved and meticulously restored.

For all its architectural significance, the house is warm, substantial and remarkably livable. Expansive grounds wrap around the entire property, creating a remarkably private, hedged sanctuary with a wonderful sense of discovery. A pool and spa, bocce ball court, outdoor gathering spaces, luscious avocado tree and detached three-car garage bring an unusual generosity to the property, all just moments from the bluffs and ocean. Thoughtfully carried forward rather than remade, 405 Palisades Avenue is a rare opportunity to live within a beautiful piece of Santa Monica history and become part of its next chapter.
