Penthouse Living with a Santa Monica Soul — Welcome to the Dorchester House

Perfectly positioned just blocks from the ocean and the iconic Santa Monica Pier, this two-story penthouse at the Dorchester House delivers beachside living with an elevated twist. Steps from neighborhood favorites like Élephante, Forma, and the boutiques along Montana Avenue, it’s the ultimate mix of laid-back coastal charm and vibrant city energy.

Inside, soaring 18-foot ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors set a stunning tone. The open-concept living area features French doors that open to a breezy balcony and a fireplace that’s both gas and wood-burning — perfect for cozy evenings after a sunset stroll.

The chef’s kitchen shines with Bertazzoni and Sub-Zero appliances, sleek custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and an inviting eat-in nook — a comfortable spot for morning coffee or casual meals.

Downstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with an oversized walk-in closet featuring custom built-ins and a spa-like bath with marble finishes, a walk-in shower, and a jacuzzi tub. A second bedroom on this level is also en-suite, offering flexibility as a guest room, office, or creative space.

Upstairs, a third en-suite bedroom provides additional privacy, while the loft area adds an entertainer’s touch — complete with a built-in wet bar and fridge perfectly positioned for effortless rooftop entertaining. Just steps away, the private rooftop deck steals the show with panoramic views of the ocean, city, and mountains — an unbeatable backdrop for sunset cocktails or quiet morning moments.

Practical luxury continues with three side-by-side garage spaces, convenient custom cabinetry for extra storage directly beside the parking area, plus an additional private storage closet — because beach living deserves plenty of space for boards, bikes, and adventure gear.

Residents of the Dorchester House enjoy resort-style amenities including an indoor pool, spa, sauna, and fitness center — all just minutes from the sand, surf, and Santa Monica’s signature energy.

Polished, relaxed, and perfectly Santa Monica — Penthouse #407 is where elevated design meets effortless coastal living.
