About this property
Perfectly positioned along the golden coast, this exceptional oceanfront residence offers breathtaking views and direct access to the sand, a coveted privilege reserved for only a select few. Known as the Sutherland House, this storied residence was once owned and designed by Don Sutherland himself and housed other notable residents. The home blends timeless coastal elegance with effortless sophistication. The three-bedroom, two-bath home features a spa-inspired primary suite complete with a dual shower and private steam room. The main level brings together a bedroom, kitchen, dining and living spaces in an inviting, open setting designed to embrace its extraordinary surroundings. The beautifully appointed kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line Thermador and Miele appliances, while thoughtfully selected lighting adds warmth and refinement throughout. A custom built-in desk and fireplace add character and function, while the Pacific provides an ever-changing backdrop. Step onto the expansive deck, where unobstructed views of the ocean and sand create an idyllic setting for entertaining, unwinding or taking in unforgettable sunsets. Complete with a two-car garage and gated lot, this remarkable beachfront property offers an uncommon combination of privacy, comfort and quintessential Southern California living. With neighboring homes along the beach selling for double this price, the Sutherland House is a rare offering on one of Southern California's most coveted stretches of coastline. Here, the sand is at your doorstep, the ocean is always in view and downtown Santa Monica is just a leisurely walk away. This is more than a residence. This is an opportunity to experience coastal living at its finest.
