Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1971, the property is described as 'mostly original,' which is evident in the dated kitchen featuring older cabinetry, countertops, and tile flooring, along with track lighting. While the living areas boast well-maintained hardwood floors and the bathroom has some updated fixtures like a modern toilet and vanity hardware, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and parts of the bathroom clearly show their age. The unit is functional and appears well-maintained for its age, but requires significant cosmetic updates to align with contemporary styles and features, fitting the 'aged but maintained' criteria for a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unbeatable Oceanfront Location: Directly adjacent to the iconic Santa Monica Beach and Palisades Park, offering premier coastal living and immediate access to prime recreational areas.
Extensive Luxury Amenities: The Ocean Towers building provides resort-style amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center with sauna, pool, spa, 24-hour concierge, security, valet parking, and optional maid service.
Exceptional Walkability: Situated steps away from Santa Monica's finest dining on Montana Avenue, Third Street Promenade, and Ocean Avenue, providing unparalleled urban convenience.
High-Floor Mountain Views: Located on the 17th floor, the unit offers stunning and quiet views of the Santa Monica Mountains, providing a serene backdrop.
Modernized Kitchen & Open Layout: The unit features a kitchen fitted with stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry, complemented by a spacious open-concept floor plan, wood flooring, and a private balcony.

Cons

Mostly Original Condition: Built in 1971 and described as 'mostly original,' indicating that while the kitchen is updated, other areas of the unit may require further renovation or modernization to meet current luxury standards.
Lack of Ocean Views: Despite being in an 'oceanfront residence,' this specific unit is 'back facing' and offers mountain views, not the highly coveted and premium ocean views typically associated with this location.
High HOA Fees & Price Reduction: The substantial monthly association fee of $1,149.26, combined with a significant price reduction from its original list price of $1.15M, suggests high carrying costs and potential market resistance.
