Description
Very rarely does a home like this come to market on the Westside: Spanish with architectural pedigree, completely turn key, single story, magazine-featured, the highest quality design, spectacular natural light, one of one, all in an A+ location. Ciao from Casa Princeton! A home by Hoteliers. A spectacular, fully restored 1930s Spanish home in Santa Monica's tightly held, tree-lined Collegiate streets, just moments away from Montana Avenue, Brentwood Country Mart, Brentwood Country Club, Erewhon, Brentwood Farmer's Market and in the acclaimed Franklin School District. Previously owned by a Hollywood actress, the home was originally designed in 1936 by renowned local architect Cecil Gale. It's current owners, internationally award-winning architects, designers and hoteliers, have restored Casa Princeton with a deep passion for its architectural history and a focus on quality of design, and more importantly, quality of life. Casa Princeton is a Mediterranean retreat in the heart of the city. The extremely peaceful and private, fully gated and hedged property includes a 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom main residence, permitted 1 bedroom/1 bathroom guest house, a heated saltwater swimming pool and outdoor shower, fully irrigated organic market gardens, alfresco dining areas and landscaping designed in collaboration with award-winning landscape architect P.Keningale, centered around olive trees, bougainvillea, wisteria, intoxicating Madagascan jasmine vines, pollinator plants attracting butterflies and hummingbirds and European imported vintage stone sinks and fountains. Timeless craftsmanship defines the home: hand-troweled plaster walls, cast bronze hardware, custom Farrow & Ball "Casa Princeton" colors, original oak floors, coved ceilings and an original Spanish fireplace. The sun-drenched chef's kitchen includes AGA Elise, Miele and Thermador appliances and integrated Italian marble sinks, while the hotel-like primary suite opens to a terracotta terrace, garden, and pool via French Doors. The stand-alone guest house, "La Casa de la Piscina," is inspired by an Andalusian farmhouse, with raw terracotta floors, reclaimed wood beams, handmade ceramic lighting and raw linen drapes billowing in the breeze, creating a thin veil between indoor and outdoor. Wellness and sustainability have been prioritized too, including low VOC paints, dimmable 2700k LED lighting, water filtration systems, saltwater pool, organic gardening and an intentional material selection of solid stone, wood and metals to ensure no toxic plastics or laminates. Casa Princeton is a home where you feel your best self. It's a perfect balance of architectural integrity meets ease of living. It is an elegant and sophisticated home, where life is beautiful and the in-between moments matter most. Homes like this simply don't come around often.
