1701 Pier Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90405

Designed by famed architect Welton Becket (Capitol Records Building, Beverly Hilton Hotel) , sits on one half of a 12000 corner lot. Enter through the front door and into the bright living room with an ornamental fireplace under a gorgeous skylight. The living room looks out onto a covered courtyard patio with a cozy sitting area and large table for year round barbecues and family dinners.

The outdoor patio is an entertainer's dream and a wonderful place to hang out on warm Southern California nights. Perfect indoor-outdoor living! To the left as you walk in the front door is the hallway that leads to good sized bedrooms and a beautiful art deco bath.

The rear of the hallway is the master bedroom and master bath. As you look out the windows from the bedrooms it feels like the country with trees and foliage. New air-conditioning mini splits (with remotes) have been added in each bedroom and the living area to add to your comfort.

You don't have to take care of that- the owner pays for gardening service! When you enter the front door and go to the left and through the dining room you enter the newly remodeled kitchen with a skylight and banquette for breakfast and morning coffee or quick suppers.

On the other side of the kitchen is the laundry room and the fourth bedroom with ensuite bath and the guest bathroom. The fourth bedroom has an entrance off 17th street and can be used as an office or Mother-in-Law Suite. Bring your green thumb - the front yards are planted with beautiful native california plants.

The side yard has two large raised-beds ready for planting flowers or vegetables, and other raised beds have verdant orange, lemon, lime and kumquat trees! All of this and walking distance to the great shops and restaurants lining Ocean Park Blvd, including Jyan Isaac Bread, the new pizza hang Ghisallo plus the wonderful coffee at Love Coffee and Cafe Bolivar. Who could want a better location!
