356 E Rustic Rd Rental

Located just around the corner from Will Rogers State Beach in coveted Santa Monica Canyon, this custom-built home features an expansive backyard surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, creating a resort-style oasis. Seldom does a Canyon lease combine nearly 4,000 square feet of newer construction with such seamless indoor-outdoor living, privacy, and proximity to the beach and neighborhood dining. A dramatic two-story foyer anchored by a sweeping curved staircase opens to a light-filled great room with soaring beamed ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out. Just beyond the glass doors lies the heart of the home: a backyard retreat designed for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring a pool and spa, built-in barbecue, gas fire pit, and multiple spaces for dining and lounging beneath the pergola on the stone-tiled terrace. Back inside, the chef's kitchen is centered around an oversized island with bar seating for casual dining, complemented by Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, natural quartzite countertops, and generous storage, including walk-in pantry. The flexible main level also includes a guest bedroom with en suite bath, a den that serves as a media room, home office, or fifth bedroom when guests arrive, and an elegant powder room. Upstairs, the primary retreat offers beautiful treetop views, vaulted ceilings, a sitting area, a built-in office workspace, a spa-inspired Carrara marble bath with a soaking tub and oversized shower, and a custom walk-in closet. The second level is completed by two additional bedrooms, each with an en suite bath and walk-in closet, along with a separate gym or office and a dedicated laundry room. Additional highlights include wide-plank hardwood floors, high ceilings, custom millwork, a two-car garage with dual Level 2 EV chargers, and a large walk-in storage closet. Ideally located just a few blocks from the beach, Canyon Elementary School, and beloved neighborhood favorites including Giorgio Baldi, Caff Delfini, and Rustic Coffee, this is a rare opportunity to lease one of Santa Monica Canyon's most exceptional homes.
