Description
Thoughtfully renovated and filled with natural light, this townhouse-style residence pairs generous living spaces with exceptional private outdoor areas, including a rooftop deck with palm tree views. Set within an intimate six-residence community, the home feels peaceful and private while placing the best of Santa Monica just moments away. The main level is open and inviting, with windows on multiple sides bringing abundant natural light across light-toned wood floors. A spacious living room flows naturally into the dining area, where a statement light fixture adds a distinctive design moment. At the center of the space, the renovated kitchen is equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, with stone countertops, tile backsplash, abundant white shaker cabinetry, and premium stainless steel appliances. A built-in bar with beverage refrigerator extends the kitchen's functionality, while a sleek farmhouse sink completes the clean, contemporary aesthetic. Just beyond the main living spaces, a generous terrace enclosed by privacy fencing creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or unwinding at the end of the day. A powder room and dedicated laundry area with a folding counter add thoughtful convenience. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms provide a quiet sense of retreat, each with generous closet space and an en suite bathroom. The primary suite is distinguished by dramatic two-story vaulted ceilings and access to a versatile loft, ideal for a home office, creative studio, or additional lounge space. From the loft, doors open to a substantial private rooftop deck with turf flooring and views of the surrounding palms, creating a second outdoor living space above the city. The primary bathroom features a dual-sink vanity, glass-enclosed shower with body jets, and a separate soaking tub. A private two-car garage with direct access into the residence adds a level of convenience that's particularly valuable in Santa Monica. Ideally positioned near the shops, restaurants, and everyday amenities of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards, the home is also just minutes from Montana Avenue, Third Street Promenade, and the beach, offering a vibrant lifestyle and easy access to some of Santa Monica's most popular destinations.
