Located on Santa Monica’s fabled Gold Coast, this classic 1928 home, built for silent screen starlet Norma Talmadge, exudes Old Hollywood glamour on one of the most desirable stretches of land in California.

Exquisitely designed by architect John Byers in his trademark Spanish Colonial Revival style, the oceanfront property showcases original period details and incredible outdoor space designed for embracing Santa Monica’s incomparable sunsets and vistas.

Arched doorways, exposed wood beams, and an expansive ocean-facing terrace lend an air of romance to the 6,485-square-foot property, which includes two light-filled living rooms, dual master suites with generous bathrooms and fireplaces, and five voluminous guest suites.

Plentiful French doors off the main level’s living spaces create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection, opening to an expansive beach-facing outdoor area, with steps leading down to a gracious inner courtyard with a large swimming pool, grassy area, and tiled fountain.

Offered for lease at $50,000 a month, this iconic Santa Monica beach house is perfectly suited to the quintessential California summer.
