    What's special

    Experience iconic coastal living at Santa Monica Bay Tower, 101 California Ave an eighth-floor residence with truly unobstructed, panoramic views stretching south to Palos Verdes, over the Santa Monica Pier, and north to Point Dume, Malibu, a literal 180 degrees of coastline. Per title, this is a two-bedroom residence, currently configured as an expanded one-bedroom that can readily be converted back to its original layout, a rare opportunity to reimagine the space and make it your own. The north-facing primary suite frames views up the coast to Point Dume, Ocean Avenue, and the Palisades, and includes a sizable marble bathroom with separate shower and soaking tub (with ocean views of its own), plus a large primary closet with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and even more ocean views. A 3/4 bath off the entry foyer features marble and stone tile walls and shower, while the kitchen boasts ample built-in storage, a pass-through bar with seating for four, a stone wraparound backsplash, and a KitchenAid range and dishwasher. Hardwood floors run throughout, and off the kitchen a sizable wraparound bar spills into the open living and dining area, framed by head-on ocean views. Move-in ready as-is, this is a rare canvas awaiting its next owner's vision to become one of the finest units on Ocean Avenue. Set within a 24-hour doorman building in one of Santa Monica's most perfectly located addresses, the home is just steps from world-class dining, Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica Place, movie theaters, the farmers market, Equinox, yoga studios, parks, the beach, and the bike path an unbeatable Santa Monica location.
