More Insights

Built in 1988 (37 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1988, this property has undergone significant recent renovations. The description highlights 'Bathrooms have been updated with modern, clean finishes and palette,' 'Freshly painted throughout,' 'New shaker-style wood and frosted glass doors and custom shutters,' and 'brand-new French doors.' The complex itself also just completed a major $350K+ capital renovation. The images confirm modern updates in one bathroom (new vanity, backlit mirror, modern tile) and clean, functional updates in the other. The living areas feature well-maintained oak hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and new French doors. While the kitchen, with its tile countertops, tile flooring, and cabinet style, appears dated and would likely be a target for future aesthetic renovation, it is clean and functional with some newer stainless steel appliances. The property is move-in ready with no immediate functional renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for properties with recent, extensive updates, even if not a full, top-to-bottom renovation.

About this home

Just two blocks from Main Street and a short stroll to the sand, this architectural two-bedroom + loft townhome designed by famous architect Barbara Coffman & Associates captures the essence of a modern beach-city pad - bright, open, and easy. Vaulted ceilings, double skylights, and oak hardwood floors create a light-filled living space that opens to a sunny patio perfect for coffee, alfresco dinners and Ocean Views! The open-plan kitchen and living room blend clean design with practical comfort, while a gas/log fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere on cooler coastal nights. Bathrooms have been updated with modern, clean finishes and palette. Freshly painted throughout. New shaker-style wood and frosted glass doors and custom shutters deliver that inviting SaMo condo feel while capturing natural light. Upstairs, the loft with Palos Verdes and Malibu views offers a versatile retreat ideal for a home office, creative studio, or evening wind-down spot. Every room connects to the outdoors with a private balcony or patio, letting in natural light and ocean breezes through brand-new French doors off every balcony. With side-by-side gated 2 car parking, huge storage, in-unit laundry, central A/C, and low HOA dues, this home is as functional as it is inviting. Step outside and you're minutes from Urth Caffe, the Sunday Farmers Market, Rose Ave, yoga studios, boutiques, and everything that makes Ocean Park the most desirable neighborhood in Santa Monica and top 3 in all of US. The six-residence complex has a quiet, community feel, tucked right in the heart of Santa Monica's most desirable neighborhood. The complex just finished a major $350K+ capital renovation with replaced sewer, stringers, decks, exterior repairs and full painting, brand new French doors and no outstanding assessments. Whether you surf, work from home, or just love being close to it all, this is the kind of place that makes that dream lifestyle a reality.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Unbeatable proximity to Main Street, the beach, and vibrant Ocean Park amenities, making it a highly desirable lifestyle property in one of Santa Monica's top neighborhoods.
Architectural Design & Modern Updates: Designed by famous architect Barbara Coffman & Associates, featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, oak floors, and recent comprehensive updates including bathrooms, paint, doors, and brand-new French doors.
Panoramic Views: Offers ocean views from the patio and Palos Verdes/Malibu views from the loft, with additional views of Catalina, city lights, coastline, and mountains, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Comprehensive Amenities & Parking: Includes side-by-side gated 2-car parking, huge storage, in-unit laundry, and central A/C, providing significant convenience and comfort.
Well-Maintained Complex with Low HOA: The six-residence complex recently completed a major $350K+ capital renovation with no outstanding assessments, ensuring a well-maintained property with relatively low HOA dues for the area.

Cons

Compact Living Space: At 1100 sqft, the living space, while efficiently designed with a versatile loft, might be considered compact for some buyers, particularly those seeking more expansive room sizes or a dedicated third enclosed bedroom.
Townhome Structure: As a townhome, it involves shared walls and a lack of a private yard, which may not appeal to buyers preferring a detached single-family home experience.
Recurring HOA Dues: While described as low for the area and covering extensive recent renovations, the $545 monthly HOA fee is a significant recurring cost that needs to be factored into a buyer's budget.
