343 14th Street, Santa Monica, California 90402

On a coveted tree-lined street north of Montana in Santa Monica, a Tuscan-inspired masterpiece awaits. Step beyond the patina front gate and the world shifts. Here, behind privacy hedges, elegance and serenity whisper through every detail. The imported travertine walkway with marine steel accents lead past a lush front lawn framed by olive trees. Their silvery leaves give protective shade to a serene seating area near the tall front door, which stands sentinel at an arched pillared doorway. Inside, the home’s high-ceilinged foyer reveals an impressive expanse where shoes tread lightly, respecting the pristine sanctuary within. A light-filled living room with dual French doors and double-sided fireplace filled with Chattahoochee River Balls, provides a cozy alcove for relaxation. New herringbone hardwood floors sourced from Germany’s Black Forest by Dinesen lead to an adjacent entertainer’s dining room. The fine feel and craftsmanship of the wood sets the tone and the stage for many memorable meals. Beautiful built-ins showcase your cherished artifacts and French doors open to a Tuscan-inspired pebbled side yard where a fountain murmurs, adding a soothing soundtrack to alfresco dining. The crescendo builds to a chef’s kitchen, created by Poliform in 2021. Designed and built in Italy before being flown and assembled at the residence, every detail was thoughtfully considered, sparing no expense. Custom Italian cabinetry, exotic limestone flooring, Dekton ultra double-thick countertops, floor-to-ceiling custom glass display cabinets and top of the line Gaggenau Series 400 appliances orchestrate culinary excellence. The ‘surfboard’ dining bar and hood system, with roof mounted motor for quiet efficiency, provide one of many artful touches. The expansive neighboring media room is perfect for hosting or lounging and connects to an entertainer’s backyard with outdoor fireplace, raised seating area and trove of olive trees, lavender, rosemary and Eucalyptus. Back inside, located at the end of dramatic first-floor hallway with arched barrel ceilings, is a Poliform designed corner office. A spacious laundry room, comfortable den and powder room can be found further along the hallway. Ascend the grand staircase to the second floor consisting of four ensuite bedrooms. The primary bedroom delights with fireplace, flatscreen wall inset and bespoke glass armoire by Poliform. The primary bathroom boasts a soaking tub, dual sinks, spacious shower with bench with its own hot water recirculation system and generous closet. The property includes a detached two car garage, high end systems such as a commercial Lutron RadioRA lighting system with low voltage fixtures, for complete, app-controlled home lighting, a commercial tankless water heater, commercial phone system, central vacuum system, two new HVAC systems, Toto toilets throughout and built-in sprinkler system. This Tuscan-inspired oasis, near some of the top restaurants and retail on Montana, beckons.
