Palisades Beach Rd, Santa Monica 90402

Set directly on the sand along Santa Monica's storied Gold Coast, this landmark 1941 beachfront estate takes in sweeping coastline views from the Malibu hills to the Santa Monica Pier. Fully furnished and ready to move into, the residence pairs timeless coastal character with updated, relaxed living, offered for short- or long-term stays.

A dramatic great room with fireplace opens straight to the beach, while a generous chef's kitchen with dual islands, double ovens and a wall of ocean-facing windows anchors the home for entertaining. A wallpapered formal dining room seats a crowd, and a wraparound covered veranda brings the ocean into everyday life.

Six bedrooms and six and a half baths include two expansive oceanfront primary suites, each designed to wake to the sound of the surf. A separate guest area off the kitchen adds flexibility for family, staff or visitors.

Outside, a heated beachfront pool and spa, a fire pit, lawn, multiple dining and lounge terraces and direct access to the sand and the beach path create a true private resort. Five designated parking spaces offer rare convenience on the coast.
