Despite being built in 1978, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The description explicitly states a 'new cooks kitchen with quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, and all new cabinetry,' which is visually confirmed by the modern, high-end appearance in the images. Hardwood floors, new sliding doors and windows, and crown molding further contribute to a virtually new interior. Bathrooms are clean, functional, and appear updated, meeting current quality standards. The property is move-in ready with no deferred maintenance visible.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Coastal Location: Situated less than a mile from Santa Monica Beach and within walking distance to the upscale shops, cafes, and restaurants of Montana Avenue, offering a highly desirable and vibrant lifestyle.
Extensive Modern Renovations: Features a newly remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops and new cabinetry, along with updated hardwood floors, new sliding doors and windows, and crown molding, providing a move-in ready and contemporary interior.
Functional and Spacious Layout: Offers a well-designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome with an additional home office/family room and private patios, ideal for both daily living and entertaining.
Valuable Non-Tandem Parking: Includes two dedicated, non-tandem parking spaces, a significant and highly sought-after amenity in a dense urban area like Santa Monica.
Access to Top-Tier Schools: Located within a district served by multiple highly-rated public schools (Franklin Elementary, Lincoln Middle, Roosevelt Elementary, Santa Monica High), making it attractive for families.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The $715 monthly association fee represents a substantial recurring cost that adds to the overall expense of homeownership.
Absence of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a drawback for buyers seeking ocean or city vistas often associated with Santa Monica properties.
Potential Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which, for a 1978 build, could imply reliance on natural ventilation or the need for future AC installation, potentially impacting comfort during warmer periods.
