The graceful elegance of a bygone era sets the stage for The Fleming House at 325 Georgina Ave, meticulously crafted in 1911 by famed architect Frederick Roehrig and master builder H.X. Goetz. Known as the only remaining Roehrig-designed house in Santa Monica, the authentic 5-bedroom, 6-bath California-Shingle Craftsman sits on a huge 20,899-square-foot corner lot and has truly stood the test of time.

The incredible lot is 98 by 213 square feet and includes tennis court and grassy lawn flanked by mature hedges and beautiful landscaping. The handcrafted detailing and woodwork within a generous and well-planned floor plan provide a lovely canvas to bring this century-old estate into the modern world, while maintaining its unmatched character and charm.

The home reflects the architect’s skill and the transmission of a wide personal repertoire of residential architectural styles to the Craftsman design, as well as an understanding of his client, Arthur Fleming, who was a serious businessman and well-mannered widower.

The first floor boasts enormous rooms after guests arrive through the formal entry and adjacent coat room. A huge step-down living room with fireplace, generous formal dining room bordered by wainscoting and large family room opening out the backyard, are just where you want them for today's lifestyle. The large kitchen features stainless steel appliances and is an excellent footprint for Buyer's wishing to update further.

A wide, graceful staircase leads upstairs to three large en-suite bedrooms plus a wing containing a two-room bedroom suite and sunroom with roof deck. Property may qualify for substantial tax benefits through the Mills Act with confirmation of this historic home's Landmark status. This amazing opportunity to own a slice of Santa Monica history on a nearly half acre lot should not be missed!

The residence is listed for $9,388,000 with Charles Pence and Esther Hickman at Compass.
