Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1997, this property is 27 years old. However, the images and description indicate a very well-maintained unit with high-quality, timeless finishes. The kitchen features white cabinetry, modern stainless steel appliances (including a built-in refrigerator and double oven), and granite countertops, all appearing in excellent condition. The bathrooms are spacious with dual vanities, separate tubs and showers, and clean tiling, showing minimal wear and tear. Hardwood floors are present in main living areas and the den, with carpeting in bedrooms, all appearing well-kept. While not explicitly stated as 'recently renovated within 5 years,' the overall condition, luxurious appointments, and functional, aesthetically pleasing kitchen and bathrooms suggest it is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Ocean Avenue Location: Situated in one of Santa Monica's most coveted addresses, offering immediate access to shops, restaurants, parks, beaches, and the vibrant ocean-front community.
Expansive & Flexible Living Space: Boasting almost 3,300 square feet, this single-level, end unit features an open floor plan and a den/office that can easily convert to a third bedroom, providing abundant and adaptable living areas.
Rare Private Outdoor Spaces: Uniquely offers a large private backyard patio with a garden area, extremely rare for a condominium, alongside a front-facing patio overlooking a park.
Luxurious Interior Appointments: Features a grand primary bedroom suite with a sitting area and fireplace, an exceptionally spacious primary bath with separate tub and shower, dual vanities, two walk-in closets, and elegant hardwood floors throughout.
Comprehensive Luxury Building Amenities: Residents enjoy exclusive access to a fantastic roof deck with panoramic ocean, park, and city light views, a pool, spa, sun deck, state-of-the-art gym, banquet room, 24-hour concierge/doorman, extra storage, bike storage, and secure side-by-side parking with guest spaces.

Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Fees: The $3,750 monthly association fee represents a significant ongoing financial commitment for potential buyers.
Premium Price Point: Listed at $4.5 million, the property targets a highly exclusive luxury market segment, which may limit the pool of prospective buyers.
Condominium Living Constraints: Despite being an end unit, condominium ownership inherently involves shared walls and adherence to common area rules, potentially offering less autonomy and privacy compared to a detached single-family home.
