A true unicorn in Santa Monica known for its highly coveted schools and services - over 2,000 square feet, no shared walls, plenty of outdoor space and windows on all four sides, and the vibe of a single-family home. This spacious residence offers open living space designed for flexibility, comfort and room to grow. //Set within an intimate six-unit complex, this condo is one of only two units in the front building, and it spans the entire first floor. Surrounded by windows and views of lush greenery and bright bougainvillea, this home offers exceptional natural light, privacy, and airflow. Step into a welcoming layout all on one level, where high ceilings and dedicated yet open spaces lead you through a classic, warm, and elegant home. //The heart of the home is a large living room that opens seamlessly to the dining area and one of the expansive patios - ideal for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The contemporary kitchen offers plenty of space atop granite counters for the most savvy home chefs, along with all stainless steel appliances and a brand new refrigerator. A flexible bonus room adjacent to the kitchen adds functionality and charm, offering the perfect nook for a popcorn-and-TV lounge, kids' playroom, or a work from home zone. //The generously-sized primary suite leads to an extra-long balcony that overlooks the lush center courtyard. The primary closet is a full walk-in, and the primary bathroom is built for leisure, with dual vanity, dual medicine cabinets, a separate shower and oversized jacuzzi tub. The sizable secondary bedroom has its own en-suite bath and also leads out to the long balcony with courtyard view. The third completely enclosed room offers flexibility and comfort as a third bedroom, guest space, or private office.//Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, central air and heat, and a massive private storage room in the garage below - big enough to accommodate a home gym space or to store all your adventure gear. Parking is a breeze with two side-by-side gated spaces directly beneath the unit in a garage shared with just one neighbor. HOA dues are minimal and include water, trash, insurance, annual termite inspection, regular pest control, and gardener. //Located on a gorgeous tree-lined street, this home places you central to everything - top-rated Santa Monica schools, local parks, grocery stores, and the best of the city's shopping, dining, and cultural offerings. //Whether you're seeking more room to grow or simply a turnkey home in one of LA's most desirable coastal communities, this one checks every box and more.
