A very special charming, large Light-Filled 2BR/1BA Unit with Private Garage & Bonus Utility Nook
Experience home-style living in the heart of Santa Monica! This very special, large 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit sits on the bottom floor of the front building within an intimate 5-unit complex. The buildings are seamlessly connected by a beautiful, mature garden, an open grassy backyard, and a large, fruitful lemon tree. With no shared walls, this front-building, bottom-floor residence truly feels like a standalone home.
Step outside onto your quaint front balcony, or relax inside where the entire home is flooded with natural light. The spacious layout features impressive bedrooms, highlighted by a large master bedroom featuring expansive windows that create a beautiful bay-window feel. Large windows in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms frame peaceful views of the front garden and the lush, green backyard.
The interior perfectly balances historic character with spacious functionality, featuring original hardwood floors, a sprawling living room, separate large dining room and a large, character-rich kitchen layout complete with original tiling and wooden cabinetry. Just off the kitchen in the back is a tiny bonus room/utility nook equipped with an extra sink and its own dedicated access door opening directly to the backyard. This compact space is perfect as a beach-gear drop zone, gardening station, or small hobby nook. The vintage charm extends into the bathroom, which boasts original tile work alongside both a standing shower and a separate soaking tub.
