The Compass agent closes a Ken Ungar–designed home north of Montana Avenue. It has walls of glass, white oak floors and skylights, plus a backyard with a new pool and spa, a covered outdoor living room and a full outdoor kitchen.
Victoria Velazquez of Compass has closed the sale of 734 18th Street in Santa Monica for $9,363,000. The home closed in October 2026.
Designed by architect Ken Ungar, the residence is built around a landscaped backyard, with expansive walls of glass tying light-filled interiors to resort-style outdoor space. It offers about 5,200 square feet on an 8,940-square-foot lot, finished with white oak floors and skylights, a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Montana Avenue.
A dramatic entry opens to the formal living room, which flows into a dining room with a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. The chef's kitchen has a full suite of Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, sculptural Tom Dixon lighting, and book-matched Dekton counters and backsplash. The adjoining family room disappears behind walls of glass and opens fully to the yard.
Upstairs are four en-suite bedrooms, including a primary suite with soaring ceilings, a fireplace, a large private balcony, dual walk-in closets and a spa-style bath, along with a den for media or play. A guest suite and a dedicated office are on the main level.
Outside, a newly completed pool and spa, a covered outdoor living room, and an outdoor kitchen with a 48-inch DCS grill sit inside mature landscaping that keeps the yard private.
For Velazquez, it is a standout Westside close: a modern family home in one of Santa Monica's most sought-after pockets.
