This move-in ready Santa Monica condo offers city views, is walkable to shops, in a gated community (only 5 units), features an updated kitchen, hardwood floors, private balconies, secure parking with direct private access, low HOA, and is a turn-key investment opportunity with luxury finishes and abundant natural light. As November's golden light filters through palm-lined streets, step into your coastal sanctuary now with an exciting price improvement. Feel the crisp Pacific breeze on the private rooftop terrace, where peek-a-boo ocean vistas and city skylines invite intimate holiday toasts under twinkling stars. Inside, soaring 20-foot ceilings and a double-sided fireplace beckon cozy evenings, with seasonal feast aromas wafting from the remodeled chef's kitchen. Ascend to the spa-like master suite for a rainfall shower retreat, in a location closer to the beach than to the Promenade or shops on Montana Ave. With EV-ready secure parking and twice a week farmers market strolls, this 3-bed + loft, 3-bath unfolds your 2025 story in luxury and light. Vacant and ready to claim before the year-end magic fades.

Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2000, this property has been extensively updated with luxury finishes, including a remodeled chef's kitchen with high-quality wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, and a spa-like master suite with a rainfall shower and freestanding tub. Hardwood floors are present throughout, and all areas appear meticulously maintained and move-in ready. While the kitchen and bathroom styles are high-end and in excellent condition, they suggest a renovation that is likely within the last 5-15 years rather than brand new, aligning with the 'Good' category's renovation timeline. The absence of central AC is noted but does not detract from the overall excellent condition and quality of the property's existing features.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in a highly desirable Santa Monica location, walkable to shops, closer to the beach than the Promenade, and offering easy access to farmers markets, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Luxury Finishes & Modern Updates: Features an updated and remodeled chef's kitchen, hardwood floors, luxury finishes, a spa-like master suite with a rainfall shower, soaring 20-foot ceilings, and a double-sided fireplace.
Desirable Views & Private Outdoor Space: Offers city views, private balconies, and a private rooftop terrace with peek-a-boo ocean vistas and city skylines, providing excellent spaces for relaxation and entertaining.
Exclusive & Secure Living: Part of a small, gated community with only 5 units, providing exclusivity, secure parking with direct private access, and EV-ready facilities.
Turn-Key & Value Proposition: Described as 'move-in ready' and a 'turn-key investment opportunity' with a recent price improvement, making it an attractive and immediate occupancy option.

Cons

Recent Price Reductions: The property has undergone two price reductions from its original list price, which may suggest initial overpricing or a lack of strong buyer interest at previous price points.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a drawback for some buyers, especially in a luxury property with high ceilings, despite Santa Monica's mild climate.
Limited Shared Amenities: As a small 5-unit gated community, it likely offers fewer shared amenities (e.g., pool, gym, concierge services) compared to larger luxury condominium developments, which some buyers might expect.
