About This Home
This move-in ready Santa Monica condo offers city views, is walkable to shops, in a gated community (only 5 units), features an updated kitchen, hardwood floors, private balconies, secure parking with direct private access, low HOA, and is a turn-key investment opportunity with luxury finishes and abundant natural light. As November's golden light filters through palm-lined streets, step into your coastal sanctuary now with an exciting price improvement. Feel the crisp Pacific breeze on the private rooftop terrace, where peek-a-boo ocean vistas and city skylines invite intimate holiday toasts under twinkling stars. Inside, soaring 20-foot ceilings and a double-sided fireplace beckon cozy evenings, with seasonal feast aromas wafting from the remodeled chef's kitchen. Ascend to the spa-like master suite for a rainfall shower retreat, in a location closer to the beach than to the Promenade or shops on Montana Ave. With EV-ready secure parking and twice a week farmers market strolls, this 3-bed + loft, 3-bath unfolds your 2025 story in luxury and light. Vacant and ready to claim before the year-end magic fades.
