Enjoy elevated coastal living in this beautifully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence at 1853 12th St, a distinctive new-construction boutique building designed by award-winning architect Gabriel Sandoval of DUB Studios. Positioned on the upper level of the middle building, this residence combines contemporary design with beautiful ocean views and a thoughtfully considered layout. A private outdoor space adds to the appeal, while refined finishes, HVAC, and in-unit washer/dryer deliver modern comfort and convenience. The architecture and interiors showcase a chic, design-forward sensibility, creating a home that feels more like a boutique architectural residence than a traditional rental. Set in a desirable Santa Monica location a short distance from the beach, Santa Monica Pier, Main Street, Third Street Promenade, and Santa Monica College, this is coastal living with a distinctly modern point of view.
