Widely published private home of celebrated architect Steve Giannetti and interior designer & creator of the popular “Velvet and Linen” blog, Brooke Giannetti. Inspired by California’s shingle style beach bungalows of the early 1900’s, but with the spaces and amenities for ideal 21st century living, this magical home satisfies on every level. Framed by two giant palms on a quiet North of Montana street and enchanting from the moment you arrive, this casual and comfortable, yet sophisticated home is filled with surprises at every turn. Tongue and grooved walls and ceilings, wide board pine floors, beams, windowed walls, French doors, extensive built-ins, window seats and antique architectural elements are the backdrop for the free flowing, open floor plan. The center piece of the home is the “great room” consisting of a wonderful cook’s kitchen, family room and sun room, which all open to patios, private yard, fountains, and sparkling pool/spa. There is also a large formal living room with fireplace, a generous dining room with fireplace and an inviting honey colored wood library/den. There are 5 bedrooms, 5½ bathrooms, including the master which has vaulted beamed ceilings and wrap around windows that looks out to a giant approximately 100 year old Italian stone pine tree and has the feeling of being in a tree house. Situated on the desirable west side of the street in the Franklin School district, within close proximity of shops and restaurants on Montana Avenue, this romantic and charming home represents a very rare offering and is one of the finest properties to become available in Santa Monica in quite some time.
