If you’ve ever dreamed of living like a Golden-Age celebrity—particularly a renowned actress and sex symbol celebrated for her witty one-liners (“When I’m good, I’m very good, but when I’m bad, I’m better”)—now’s your opportunity. Mae West’s former beach house in Santa Monica’s Rustic Canyon neighborhood is on the market for just under $6 million.

The formal dining room comes complete with a floor-to-ceiling china cabinet.
The primary suite features the original tiled fireplace.
The living room also is warmed by a fireplace.

This charming residence, encompassing more than 3,400 square feet over two levels, boasts four bedrooms and an equal number of baths. It’s a Mediterranean-style gem built in the 1920s, nestled on nearly a quarter-acre plot shielded by gates and tall hedges for utmost privacy. The interior is adorned with decorative tiles, vibrant wallpaper, hardwood floors, arched doorways, and expansive picture windows offering breathtaking ocean views.

The living room boasts a large picture window and French doors.

Once owned by Mae West until her passing in 1980, the property was last sold in 2004 for $2.3 million to real estate investors John and LeeAnn Sauter. Recently listed again after briefly being withdrawn from the market, the house features a glam fireside living room, a formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling china cabinets, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with Viking appliances and a cozy breakfast nook.

The entry foyer is lined with arched doorways.

Upstairs, the chic primary suite includes a boutique-style closet, a sunroom doubling as an office, and a luxurious bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Outside, the terraced grounds are graced with mature trees, manicured gardens, and various outdoor lounging areas, including a roof deck with a built-in hot tub.

The kitchen has an eat-in island topped by a custom pot rack.

According to listing agents Jonathan Mogharrabi and Marci Kays of Carolwood Estates, this home is not just a residence but a piece of history, perfectly blending vintage charm with modern elegance—a true haven for someone with a creative eye and appreciation for style.

The upstairs hallway is enhanced with colorful wallpaper.
