Description
What if your morning routine included a surf check, a quick trip down Ocean Park Boulevard, and your toes in the sand before the rest of the city has finished its first cup of coffee? Just three miles from the beach, this thoughtfully renovated two-story residence puts the best of Westside living within easy reach, with the comfort, style, and space to make coming home just as appealing as heading out. Inside, the kitchen strikes that perfect balance between polished design and everyday functionality. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, stainless steel appliances, waterfall-edge quartz countertops and backsplash create a sleek, modern aesthetic, while a garden window above the sink and custom reclaimed-wood barn door bring warmth and personality. A dedicated bar with wine refrigerator makes entertaining effortless, whether you're hosting friends for dinner or winding down after a day on the water. The open living and dining areas featuring European White Oak wood floors flow naturally onto a private balcony overlooking a lush, tree-lined street. It's the kind of space that invites you to slow down, open the doors, and enjoy those coastal breezes. Updated lighting, smooth ceilings, powder room, and conveniently concealed stacked laundry round out the main level. Upstairs, the layout offers a welcome sense of separation and privacy. Two generously sized bedrooms each enjoy their own en-suite bath and ample closet space. The guest suite opens to a second private balcony which offers a view of the Griffith Observatory in the distance, while the spacious primary retreat features dual closets, a frameless double shower, and an additional private entrance. Note the 2018 HVAC system with smart thermostat, ceiling fans throughout, and two tandem parking spaces in the gated community garage add practical convenience to a home designed for easy living. And perhaps that's the real appeal. A morning surf, an afternoon exploring the neighborhood, dinner with friends, or a quiet evening at home. Here, you don't have to choose between an active coastal lifestyle and a beautifully appointed place to land. Three miles to the sand. A straight shot down Ocean Park. And a whole lot to love about life on the Westside. This unit is located at the back of the building.
