Description
Welcome to 1457 Centinela Ave, a stylish two-story townhome tucked inside a boutique 7-unit building in one of Santa Monica's most convenient and vibrant locations. This 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence delivers the privacy and feel of a single-family home with the ease of low-maintenance coastal living. Spanning two levels, the layout creates a natural separation between entertaining and retreat ideal for both everyday living and hosting. Step inside to find a bright, open main level anchored by a comfortable living space that flows seamlessly to a private patio, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor setting for morning coffee, evening wine, or weekend gatherings. The kitchen features updated appliances and modern finishes, making everyday cooking both functional and inviting. Upstairs, the two bedrooms provide a quiet retreat from the city. One bedroom opens to a private balcony, offering a peaceful place to start the day with ocean air drifting in from the coast. Practical luxury continues with two parking spaces in a gated garage, a rare and valuable convenience in Santa Monica. But what truly sets this home apart is its incredible location. Situated just one block south of Santa Monica Boulevard, you are moments from some of the Westside's most beloved markets and cafes - including Erewhon Market, Bristol Farms, Gelson's Markets, and CVS Pharmacy - making everyday errands effortless. When the beach calls, simply head west and follow Broadway straight to the sand, where the iconic coastline of Santa Monica Beach awaits just minutes away. Whether you're biking to the ocean, grabbing groceries around the corner, or enjoying the energy of the Westside, this home places you at the center of the Santa Monica lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready townhome in a prime coastal location where comfort, convenience, and California living come together.
