OceanAire, one of Ocean Avenue's most recognizable mid century buildings by A. Quincy Jones, sets the stage for this corner residence with views that sweep from the mountains and city lights to the ocean and Palisades park. Now vacant and ready for its next chapter, the home features floor to ceiling windows and a wraparound terrace that anchors the open kitchen, living and dining areas and keeps the views in constant focus. The well proportioned primary bedroom has generous closet space and an ensuite bath, complemented by a spacious second bedroom. It is an appealing canvas for a buyer who wants to update and personalize a home in a building that is consistently in demand. Residents enjoy a 24 hour doorman, gym and peaceful garden setting, with Montana Avenue, the Third Street Promenade and beaches all close by.
