About This Home

As of July 2020

The Galaxy Tower is an iconic 1960's mid century modern building located on Ocean Boulevard directly across the street from the Pacific Ocean. Built by LB Heritage's 2012 architects, Hugh and Don Gibbs, this magnificent tower is one of a kind. There are only four units per floor and no common walls which makes for unparalleled privacy. This unit has been completely remodeled with a brand new kitchen, granite counters, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, new flooring, plantation shutters, new water heater, window tinting and the list goes on. There are partial ocean views from both the living room, dining area and kitchen. It has an abundance of closets that run the length of the apartment and a massive storage closet directly outside the unit. This residence is the perfect solution for those buyers downsizing from a larger single family home and don't want to give up on space/storage. Hurry! TURNKEY
