REDUCED $645,000 TO SELL NOW. The "House of Sand" (2005), designed by internationally celebrated leeMundwiler Architects, with interiors and custom furniture designed by locally acclaimed Bishop Design, is enviably located in the City of Santa Monica at the nexus of Venice Beach, In close proximity to the coveted retail, nightlife, and cuisine (including six Michelin Star restaurants) on Rose Avenue, Main Street and Abbot Kinney. Evocative of a time-honored SoHo art gallery, the home's polished concrete floors and exposed structural beams are softened by the depth and tactile quality of the "modern historic" finishes including barn wood, plastered walls, artisan tiles, and antique style fixtures. Large expanses of glass bathe the interiors with an abundance of natural light and broad wall space welcomes large format art. Sited on a promontory just above Santa Monica's Main Street, this 3-bedroom, 3,500+ sq ft home boasts 360-degree views encompassing the Pacific Ocean, Queen's Necklace, Getty Museum, Downtown Los Angeles, LAX, stunning sunsets, and a plethora of July 4th fireworks displays. Ideal for entertaining, the spacious chef's kitchen sports top line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and there are numerous areas to enjoy a cocktail, a bite, or a game of billiards. The bespoke designer finishes and tailored fit and finish is appreciated by even the most discerning eye; the 75' -long heated lap pool is perfect for the fitness-minded; and the 1,500 sq ft, 6-car covered and gated auto-court will appeal to any car enthusiast. The current owners have updated the home's systems and have added automation and security systems with smartphone control. A super private and secure, turnkey option as a primary residence or as a "lock and leave" second home.
