Located in the coveted Franklin Elementary SMMUSD school district, this cottage is a rare find. When you enter the front yard, you are struck by majestic old trees, a butterfly garden and an abundant fernery. Continue through the foyer into a spacious living room flooded with natural light and cool breezes. Original details abound with oak hardwood floors throughout, ceiling beams and a stunning marble fireplace. Galley kitchen with granite countertops, maple cabinets, high-end stainless appliances and Kohler fixtures. Spacious, light infused front bedroom with en-suite updated bathroom. Two other good sized bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom round out the home. Through the French doors to the back yard is your outdoor "home" with lush landscaping and lights that provides the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining, a true outdoor magical living room. A stunning rose garden is filled with a variety of roses bursting with vibrant colors, wafting scents and a myriad of textures. A gentle curved stone pathway creates a flow and softness that connects it all and leads to a true bonus room complete with bath and mini-kitchenette area. The garage has been converted into an impressive office/studio with vaulted ceilings and built-ins. The space is ideal for those who work from home as it has its own entrance. The long driveway provides off-street parking for 2-3 cars, with additional street permit parking available. Just a stones-throw from the very best that Santa Monica has to offer - including, shops, restaurants, parks, schools, and several grocery stores just blocks away.
