Description
Fully reimagined two-story condo in a boutique seven-unit complex in prime Wilshire-Montana, North of Wilshire — a top-to-bottom renovation that sets it apart from anything else on the street. Behind a private entry, the open main level flows from the living room, anchored by a fireplace clad in custom tile beneath a hand-troweled Venetian plaster hood with softened, aged-masonry edges, to a dining area and a chef's kitchen with custom rift white oak cabinetry, porcelain countertops, new tile flooring, and all-new appliances. New wide-plank hardwood floors and new windows run throughout, with a sculptural new staircase railing leading upstairs, where both bedrooms sit privately above the living space. The primary suite features a custom rift white oak built-in media cabinet, a custom-fitted closet, and a spa-caliber bath with a frameless glass walk-in shower wrapped in seamless Meoded Concreta microcement — grout-free, easy-care, with soft natural movement — plus custom herringbone tile flooring, authentic hand-applied limewash walls and ceiling, and a custom rift white oak vanity. The guest bedroom offers its own custom closet, and the guest bath echoes the same craftsmanship: microcement above the tub surround, matching limewash walls and ceiling, herringbone tile, and white oak. A custom wrap-around rift white oak desk creates a true work-from-home setting. Step out to a brand-new custom deck — ideal for morning coffee or evening entertaining. All of it just blocks from Montana Avenue's boutiques, cafés, and restaurants, with Douglas Park, Whole Foods, and the Santa Monica Farmers Market close at hand, award-winning Santa Monica-Malibu schools nearby, and the beach and Downtown Santa Monica minutes away. Hand-applied designer finishes throughout — turnkey, designer-executed, and the finest renovation in the building.
