Property is move-in ready.
This historic penthouse is move-in ready and features high-end upgrades including Brazilian mahogany flooring and refined lighting. While it maintains its 1928 character with original Deco tile work and pedestal sinks, the property is well-maintained with no deferred maintenance mentioned. The unit has been thoughtfully reconfigured and updated to provide a luxury coastal living experience, though it stops short of an 'excellent' rating as it preserves vintage elements rather than featuring a full contemporary renovation.
As a designated National Historic Landmark, the property benefits from the Mills Act, providing significant property tax savings that transfer directly to the new owner.
This penthouse-level residence features nearly 12-foot ceilings and offers unobstructed, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island from every room.
The HOA dues include all major utilities—electricity, gas, heat, water, cable TV, and internet—offering streamlined monthly expenses and exceptional value.
At $1,337 per month, the association fees are substantial, which may impact buyer qualification and overall monthly carrying costs.
Parking is separately managed by the HOA rather than being deeded, which can create uncertainty regarding long-term availability or additional costs in a high-density area.
