A Brentwood Spanish Mediterranean estate with chef-approved kitchen and resort-style backyard has been listed for $8,995,000 by Andrew Vargas and James Hancock, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Beverly Hills office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Utilized by both Pizza Chef/Pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi and Chef Ori Menasche, the kitchen pavilion is a decorative tower housing a fully appointed open-air commercial-grade kitchen with top-tier appliances, a pizza oven and bar seating. Recently, Kevin Kwan, the bestselling author of “Crazy Rich Asians,” was interviewed by Clicky Bezel at the property to discuss the luxury watches featured in the film. Located at 401 26th St. in Santa Monica, Calif., the approximately 5,053-square-foot residence has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms on an over 16,000-square-foot lot.
“This listing is a standout in Brentwood both for its location, less than a block away from Brentwood Country Mart, and its large lot in an area where most lots are under 9,000 square feet,” said Vargas. “This meticulously landscaped sanctuary with world-class amenities creates a true private paradise.”
Nestled behind private gates, this exceptional residence masterfully blends timeless architecture with modern comforts. An arched entryway adorned with decorative tile work leads to a stunning step-down living room with dramatic beamed ceilings, a fireplace and French doors to a covered patio. The formal dining room with butler’s pantry adjoins a beautifully appointed kitchen and breakfast room. A warm family room has a fireplace, library nook and direct access to the lush backyard. The main level is completed with a private ensuite bedroom and elegant powder room. Upstairs, three additional ensuite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy. A true retreat, the magnificent primary suite has a private covered terrace with serene garden views, a fireplace and graceful circular staircase leading directly to the pool and yard below. The suite also includes a generous walk-in closet, spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate steam shower and skylights. Nothing short of spectacular, the resort-style grounds offer a sparkling pool and spa, multiple lounge areas, half-court basketball court and beautifully designed outdoor spaces. Adding incredible versatility is a refined detached guest retreat complete with a living area, office, bedroom suite and exterior pool shower. A full outdoor entertaining pavilion contains a large dining area for al fresco entertainment and seating area with a fireplace.
