As the lowest-priced two-bedroom unit in the neighborhood, this condo represents a rare entry-level opportunity for homeownership or investment in one of Santa Monica's most prestigious areas.
The two-car parking is in a tandem configuration, which is generally less convenient for multi-driver households compared to side-by-side parking spaces.
The unit currently lacks in-unit laundry, relying on community facilities; while installation is possible, it requires both HOA and City approval, which is not guaranteed.
