208 Adelaide Drive: A Legendary Ocean View Home on Santa Monica’s Most Popular Street

kimandkristine — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:21:55 +0000

New on the market, and will not last very long. Priced accordingly, and situated in a more private location on Adelaide. The views from this home are priceless, and some of the best views in Santa Monica. Adelaide Drive can be a busy street due to the popular “stairs” workout. Fortunately this home is further west from either set of stairs, the lot is elevated and gated creating more privacy from the street’s foot traffic.

Designed by Jane Hallworth, and absolutely perfect! A must see for the buyer looking for a home with tasteful artistic design, views, history, privacy, and room to entertain.

Top 7 Condo’s In Santa Monica, CA.

kimandkristine — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:54:14 +0000

Here are the Top 7 most expensive condo’s in Santa Monica, CA. They are all on the same street, Ocean Ave. Across the street from these condo’s is Palisades Park. It’s a really good walk/run park situated on a bluff over PCH and Santa Monica beach.

Two of my absolute favorite buildings on Ocean Ave are on this list. The first on is 535 Ocean Ave which is called “Oceanaire”. Designed by architect A. Quincy Jones, FAIA. If you want an unobstructed ocean view then you would be looking for a West facing condo, 5th floor and up. There are a few trees across the street in the park that obstruct the ocean view on the lower floors. There is one condo on the market in this building, 5th floor and West facing. It’s modern and completely updated. Listed for $2.495M, 1,781 sq ft., 3 bed, 2bath. It’s #6 on this list.

My other favorite building is right next door to Oceanaire. It’s 603 Ocean Ave and named, “El Tovar”. It’s a traditional luxury style building. It’s fairly new for Ocean Ave condo’s, built in 1990. I like the entry way off Ocean Ave. You walk past a large tranquil water feature then into another building for the elevators. There are a few condo’s that you can enter the patio from the street. These condo’s feel like you live in a home. It’s a smaller building, with 22 condo’s so not that many are listed for sale. There is only 1 on the market and it’s #3 on the list for $3.85M, 2,817 sq ft, 3 bed, 2.5 bath.

Rare Find: Santa Monica Historical Home on Georgina

kimandkristine — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 20:23:07 +0000

Sold! The first buyer wrote an offer without seeing the home, and this creates an opportunity for a lucky buyer to own this home. 147 Georgina, Santa Monica CA 9402 is located in the highly sought after North of Montana neighborhood (see below for full property details.) Georgina is a wide street lined with palm trees, and this block is a short walk to popular Palisades Park overlooking the Santa Monica Bay.

Rarely do homes come available on this block, especially a historical home. The current owner has taken very good care of this home’s renovations, so well the home was featured in Home & Garden magazine. One of the benefits of owning a historical home in Santa Monica is the Mills Act. The Mills Act is a special reduction in property taxes to offset the costs for any renovations to preserve the Historical Landmark. The City of Santa Monica has a Landmark Division to help oversee the renovations. According to several city historians, the exterior must be maintained if any changes occur, and application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is to be submitted for landmark review.

When viewing this home, you’ll be amazed by the large lot. The home is located toward the front of the parcel. The lot is so large you would never know there is a half-pipe is in the back for skateboarders. A few of my favorite features of the home, in addition to the location, was the houndstooth mosaic bathroom tile. A refreshing update to see in a historical home.

To schedule a private showing of this historical home, contact Kim at 310-737-8173
