Located in a small 6-unit community (with a very high walk score of 92), an elevator takes you directly to your private double door entry, complete with elegant marble tile, for a hard to find level of security. With more than 1,700 square feet of beautifully updated living space, this unit features a large living room with a cozy fireplace and front-facing patio overlooking beautiful trees. Open to the living room is a formal dining room with built-in wet bar. The large kitchen boasts quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, and a breakfast area for casual dining. Both bedrooms are sizable as well, with ample closet space and great natural light. The plumbing and electrical systems have been recently updated, and the HVAC has been completely renovated as well. To top it off, there is in-unit laundry and 2 dedicated parking spaces with extra storage in the gated community garage. The complex also carries both earthquake and flood insurance. Centrally located to countless retail shops, restaurants, and the beach, this Brentwood and Santa Monica-adjacent home is the one you've been waiting for!

Cons

Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a substantial price reduction from its original list price, which may suggest it was initially overpriced or has faced challenges attracting buyers.
Relatively High HOA Fees: The $500 monthly association fee for a 6-unit building is on the higher side, potentially impacting affordability and long-term ownership costs.
Building Age: While the unit is updated, the building itself was constructed in 1981, which could imply potential for future common area maintenance or assessments related to the building's age.
