Description
This corner end unit at Sea Colony II offers what most units in the building do not: extra privacy, more natural light, and open ocean views from both the living space and primary suite. Positioned on the quieter edge of the building, it feels removed while still being steps from the sand and Main Street. Floor to ceiling glass brings in west facing light throughout the day, and the balcony becomes a true extension of the living space at sunset, with views of the ocean and Santa Monica Pier. The primary suite opens directly to the balcony, creating a rare indoor outdoor flow, with space for a work from home setup overlooking the water. The ensuite bath features dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. A true second bedroom and full second bathroom offer flexibility for guests, a dedicated office, or long term living without compromise. An in unit washer and dryer add daily convenience, something buyers consistently prioritize in this building. The kitchen is designed to open into the living area, with quality appliances, generous storage, and a breakfast bar that keeps the space connected and functional. Two side by side parking spaces located next to the elevator and mail area make daily living easy, and a private, secure storage unit adds even more flexibility. The storage space is large enough for multiple bikes, storage racks, and boxes, with room to comfortably walk around. Sea Colony II remains one of the most secure and amenity rich communities on Neilson Way, offering 24 hour security, a pool, multiple spas, a fitness center, yoga room, sauna, generous guest parking, and controlled elevator access, all in the heart of Ocean Park. For buyers who understand this building and this stretch of Neilson Way, the combination of corner privacy, natural light, ocean views, a full second bath, in unit laundry, and prime parking makes this a standout opportunity.
