The story
Situated in one of Santa Monica's most sought-after locations, on a tranquil, tree-lined street north of Wilshire and moments from Montana Avenue, this beautifully updated two-bedroom residence combines refined interiors, inviting indoor-outdoor living, and two spacious bedroom suites with private baths. Tall, open-beamed ceilings make an immediate impression, and a warm, understated palette adds texture and continuity throughout the living spaces. The living room features a fireplace and double doors that open to a patio and connect to the dining area, which includes a beautifully crafted built-in buffet or breakfast bar and connects to the renovated kitchen. The kitchen features striking wood and stone surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage. Sliding glass doors lead to a fenced backyard balcony, creating good light and a lovely cross breeze. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, both bedrooms offer private full baths, ample closet storage, and plantation shutters for filtered light and privacy. The primary suite is distinguished by soaring vaulted ceilings and an updated bath with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. A two-car private garage offers much more storage and direct access to the condo, adding immense value. The second-floor laundry area provides everyday practicality. All of this is within a boutique community of just 12 homes. Ideally situated near Franklin Elementary, Whole Foods, Douglas Park, and the beach, with Montana Avenue's neighborhood cafes, boutiques, and restaurants just a short stroll away. An ideal balance of peaceful residential living and easy access to the everyday conveniences and coastal lifestyle that make Santa Monica so special.
