In Castellammare, envisioned in the 1920s as a coastal enclave reminiscent of the Italian Riviera, 216 Notteargenta stands as a lasting expression of that original vision. As one of the first homes to be built, this storied yet updated residence is thoughtfully perched above the street and reflects a different time- much like the neighborhood's winding, Italian-named streets. This one-of-a-kind Spanish Colonial home offers a rare combination of history, privacy, and SWEEPING VISTAS that extend across the Santa Monica Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. ***The arrival unfolds as you pass through vintage wood entry gates and beautiful gardens, stepping into an expansive brick courtyard that serves as a true outdoor room, framed by the home's formal interiors. A sitting deck affords views back to the home as well as across the verdant Santa Monica Mountains, creating a setting equally suited for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. ***Inside, the architecture unfolds as the entryway introduces the home's heritage. Beyond, a step-down family room features preserved beams and is filled with natural light, anchored by an original fireplace and lined with French and picture windows that frame garden views. Arched openings guide you from room to room, leading to a dining space that feels both intimate and connected. The fully updated kitchen and breakfast nook, with warm wood cabinetry, gourmet appliances, and terracotta tile floors, offer a timeless, understated elegance, while a more relaxed and spacious den provides a comfortable retreat with access to both the front and rear gardens. The entry level also features an office or bedroom suite and a laundry pantry. ***Ascend the stairwell with its original wrought iron railing and to the primary suite where French doors and windows preview the views beyond. Two private balconies offer remarkable vantage points overlooking the home, the front courtyard, the layered rear gardens, and outward to the coastline and mountains- a perspective that evokes the Amalfi Coast. Two secondary bedrooms, one with ocean views and its own balcony, complete the upper level. ***The rear grounds offer an entirely different and almost unexpected experience. Gently terraced with a sense of the Italian countryside, the backyard is composed of pathways, stone walls, mature plantings, and numerous fruit trees. At its center, a striking glass greenhouse serves as both focal point and experience. This light-filled space is equally suited for daytime gatherings or magical evening entertaining under a canopy of stars and warm ambient light, creating a setting that is as memorable as it is unique. ***Throughout, the home balances romance and restraint, honoring its architectural roots through details such as vintage hardware, light fixtures, and woodwork. Thoughtfully updated, it embraces a way of living that feels both elevated and distinctly Pacific Palisades. This is truly a unique and rare offering where history, setting, and a unique lifestyle that is the Pacific Palisades, come together in a way that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
