Privately positioned in Santa Monica Canyon adjacent to Rustic Canyon, 423 Sycamore Road presents a rare opportunity to own a timeless Colonial cottage with distinctive Tudor accents—rich in character and set in one of Santa Monica’s most desirable neighborhoods. The residence showcases classic architectural details and a warm, inviting interior, seamlessly blending traditional charm with a functional layout suited for modern living. The property is completely private and secure, featuring an electric gate, a carport accommodating up to three vehicles, and an oversized two-car garage. A gated entry opens to a beautifully landscaped front yard and a classic brick-and-pillar Colonial entry. Inside, a gracious great room welcomes you with hardwood floors, true divided-light windows, and a Tudor-style open-beamed ceiling. The centerpiece is a striking fireplace with stone surround and custom wood mantel, offering both gas and wood-burning options. The formal dining room features wood-paneled walls, crown molding, and divided-light windows, with a Dutch door leading to a deck ideal for al fresco entertaining. An expansive downstairs bedroom or family room includes a three-quarter bath with marble finishes, a walk-in closet, a brick fireplace, and French doors that open to a private, grassy backyard—perfect for entertaining or play. Upstairs, two spacious ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, including the primary suite with an open-beamed ceiling, marble fireplace, and a private deck overlooking lush neighborhood greenery. Abundant natural light fills the home, enhancing its warmth and thoughtful design, while multiple living areas offer flexibility for both everyday living and hosting. Set on a generous lot, the outdoor spaces are framed by mature landscaping, creating a serene and private environment. The gated driveway further enhances privacy and leads to the two-car garage. Located just minutes from the beach, Canyon Elementary, local dining, and the shops along Montana Avenue, this home offers an exceptional blend of convenience, charm, and timeless appeal. A rare offering in an exceptional neighborhood.
