This penthouse loft is an architectural masterpiece that has been widely published and is located just 9 blocks from the beach. The home was custom built by award winning designer Velvet Hammerschmidt as her primary residence. Previous guests include foreign dignitaries and international celebrities.

There is 125 linear feet of 10 foot high, operable windows along one side of the home with an additional 55 linear feet of skylights. A home automation system controls the shades, lighting, fans, and ventilation to provide effortless comfort. The decor is contemporary with tasteful art and high-end designer furniture, yet the feel is warm and comfortable.
There is a breathtaking, private 1,700 square foot roof deck that is beautifully landscaped and features a full outdoor Viking kitchen, dining area, water feature, fire pit, lounge area, sun deck, and 360 views of the ocean, mountains and city. The deck has been separately featured and published in several architectural publications.

The home is located just blocks to the beach, Montana Avenue, and the famous 3rd Street Promenade’s cafes, shops, movie theaters, boutiques, farmers market, supermarket, and a myriad of Los Angeles’ best restaurants.

For those requiring discretion and privacy, the unit is located a comfortable distance from the busiest part of downtown Santa Monica ensuring privacy, quiet and security - without compromising accessibility.
The home is a great alternative to the 3 bedroom suites at Shutters and Casa del Mar which are ½ the size and run $3,395 per night. Minimum stay is one week. Please check our calendar - IT ACCURATELY REFLECTS AVAILABILITY.
