This is a home with soul. An incredible, rare opportunity set atop the 3rd St Hill, 3 blocks to the beach, fully modernized, on an almost 9,300 sqft lot. This one-of-a-kind Ocean Park Craftsman, built in 1902, encompasses a park-like backyard and spectacular ocean views. Originally named Villa Rosa, for the 75-year-old rose bushes, this picturesque home has been renovated (new electrical, roof, kitchen, landscaping, earthquake stabilization, renovated basement, etc.) making it completely turnkey in a manner that preserves its original charm, with a classic floor plan and a separate structure for your home gym, office space, or greenhouse. Enjoy the sea breeze in the lush, private backyard with fruit trees - perfect for dining alfresco. A hatch opens to the roof where you can catch 360-degree views and hear the waves crash. A one-minute walk to the Santa Monica Farmers Market on the weekend. Featured in Better Homes + Gardens as well as Houzz, this is a home ready to sweep you off your feet.
