About This Home
Welcome home to this beautifully updated two-bedroom townhouse, just half a block south of Wilshire Boulevard and within close proximity to top-rated schools, vibrant cafes, and the best of Santa Monica's amenities. Located in a contemporary, five-unit building, this home offers both privacy and community. A gated entry leads you to your front door, where you're greeted by a generous, open-concept living area. High ceilings and a charming gas fireplace, seamlessly flow into the dining and kitchen areas, creating a perfect space for living and entertaining. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, with classic finishes and modern touches including a custom built bar area (can be converted back to a wet bar). There is a private patio just beyond the dining area perfect for a little al fresco coffee, wine or barbecue. Upstairs, both spacious bedrooms come with ensuite bathrooms and private balconies, ensuring cooling breezes throughout the year. The stackable laundry machines are conveniently positioned on the same level as the bedrooms. The third story loft adds even more versatility, offering the option of a third bedroom or a dedicated office with its own closet. From this vantage point, you access the lovely roof top deck, an idyllic spot to watch the sunset and enjoy the view of the Santa Monica Mountains. Additional highlights include a private two car garage with direct access to the unit, as well as 240v electric car charging. Several new custom windows were just installed, fresh paint, the roof and balcony deck surfaces were recently replaced, newly updated lighting, as well as new bathroom and door hardware were installed throughout the unit. Fantastic opportunity for Westside living!
