About this home

Seller offers a rate buy down to qualified buyer. Located in an architecturally significant building in Ocean Park designed by Michael Folonis, this residence sits in one of the Westside's most desirable neighborhoods. Just moments from the ocean, shops, restaurants, and cafes, it offers the perfect balance of relaxed coastal living and urban convenience. Positioned at the front of a rare three-unit building, the home features glass on three sides, filling the interiors with natural light and refreshing ocean breezes. A dramatic three-story atrium and staircase accentuate the sense of openness. Ceiling heights ranging between 8 and 20 feet create an atmosphere that is at once warm and grand, tied together with thoughtful architectural details. The main living area features floor-to-ceiling glass walls with views stretching toward the ocean, complemented by a balcony ideal for enjoying coastal breezes. The open kitchen and dining area are designed for entertaining, finished with Bianco Romana granite stone, custom wood veneer cabinetry, soaring ceilings, and a clerestory window that floods the space with light. A full bathroom on the main level adds convenience for guests. On the lower level, the spacious primary suite offers Claro Walnut wood veneer closets on two sides and direct access to a private patio enclosed in frosted glass for privacy. The ensuite bathroom showcases Italian Statuarieta stone, dual sinks, a frameless glass waterfall shower with dual Dornbracht fixtures, and sleek finishes throughout. Two additional bedrooms, each generously sized, share a full bathroom also finished in Statuarieta stone. One bedroom includes private outdoor space. Above the main living level, a mezzanine provides the perfect home office or lounge, leading to a private rooftop deck with treetop, neighborhood, and ocean views. This is an exceptional space for year-round entertaining. Additional features include in-unit laundry, secure private access, and two side-by-side parking spaces in a gated underground garage. This is a rare opportunity to live in an architecturally significant residence in the heart of Santa Monica, designed for the most discerning buyer.

Limited Shared Amenities: As one of only three units, the property likely offers fewer shared amenities (e.g., gym, pool, concierge) compared to larger luxury condominium complexes, which some discerning buyers might expect.
