454 E Rustic Road, Santa Monica, CA 90402

Location, location, location. Just a short walk to the beach, this rare Rustic Canyon original is offered for the first time in over 45 years. Tucked behind lush, mature landscaping, the property offers exceptional privacy and a true sense of retreat in one of Santa Monica’s most coveted neighborhoods. Built in 1906, this classic Craftsman cottage features a welcoming, oversized front porch and timeless architectural character. The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years, with recent improvements including stainless steel appliances with a Bertazzoni range, solid wood details, dual-pane Anderson windows, updated roof, heating and air, and extensive exterior hardscaping, decks, fencing, and professionally designed landscaping with lighting. The existing home offers a strong foundation and livable comfort today, while presenting a rare opportunity to expand, enhance, or reimagine. Whether restoring the charm, creating a larger custom residence, or blending indoor-outdoor living, the possibilities are exceptional. A peaceful canyon setting moments from the beach, Montana Avenue, and all Santa Monica has to offer. Vacant and ready for its next chapter.
