Description

The Boehm Residence: Architects: Ruoff and Munson. Santa Monica Landmark. Classic French Norman Chateau on one of Santa Monica's best streets on the northern rim of the mesa. The site captures Pacific, Rustic Canyon and Palisades views on nearly a half acre flat lot with an east-west tennis court. The design seeks to mimic a medieval town with a turreted tower centering the asymmetrical forms of gabled roofs and massive chimney. Formal, rotunda-like entry, vaulted living room with significant hearth and numerous French doors, formal dining room, den, kitchen and loggia comprise the first floor. Four bedrooms, two baths upstairs. Two housekeeping suites, 2-car garage. Unique charm pervades this historic home once owned by the "grandmother of the internet," Sharla Boehm. Listing includes 3 lots (shown in last listing photo): Main house lot (20,265 sqft) and 2 lots across the street that preserve the view ( 6,536 sq ft + 3,023 sq ft ).
