A California mid-century modern ranch-style estate designed by Architect William Carlton Jarrett has been listed for $10,995,000 by Joyce Rey and Christopher Damon, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades offices of Coldwell Banker Realty, respectively. Located at 825 Woodacres Rd. in Santa Monica, Calif., the sprawling 5,747-square-foot single-story residence has six bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. A tranquil cul-de-sac setting enveloped by towering trees provides the backdrop for this residence, which sits on an approximately 33,000-square-foot flat lot.
“Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this unique and versatile estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recast an architectural gem with 21st-century vision and design,” said Damon. “Located on Santa Monica’s most exclusive street, the property is an uncommon oasis in the city — surrounded by nature, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the world-renowned Riviera Country Club in Santa Monica, and only minutes from the shopping and restaurants on Montana Avenue.”
A generous, curving driveway and landscaped front yard with mature ponderosa pine and eucalyptus trees begin the home’s design expression. Beginning with the cross-shaped plan, the residence has a rambling footprint that emphasizes privacy from the street and creates free-flowing, indoor-outdoor spaces that are emblematic of ranch houses.
Showcasing decorative wood block screens, wood veneer wall paneling and a distinctive cut stone fireplace with floating surround, the home encompasses a central living wing, a secondary wing with four bedrooms and a generous multi-purpose room, as well as a third wing for the primary bedroom that was added to the rear of the house in 1965 by noted architect Paul Sterling Hoag. The peaceful and spacious master suite includes a sitting room, a stone fireplace, two walk-in closets, a sunken tub and a sizable sauna. The sixth bedroom could serve as staff quarters or an office. To one side of the central wing is a spacious outdoor patio and to the other is a full-sized swimming pool with a concrete pool deck. A small garden shaded by a eucalyptus tree leads to the atrium that serves as an informal secondary entrance to the house. An expansive, landscaped backyard further accentuates this idyllic setting.
“Completed in 1955, the original home is a mid-century modern symphony where indoor-outdoor living is celebrated throughout,” said Rey.
