Positioned just moments from Montana Avenue on the 800-block of breezy 17th Street, in the prime Franklin Elementary district, this thoughtfully updated townhome was built in 2000 and measures 2300 sq. ft. Unit #105 has it all, including 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a spacious loft, an ocean-to-mountains 180-plus degree view roof deck, a finished lower level, and a private 2-car garage with built-in storage. Natural light fills the home upon entry, which showcases soaring double height ceilings, large windows, wide-plank oak hardwood flooring, an integrated, stainless steel kitchen, a dedicated dining area, grilling balcony, stone fireplace, and powder room round off the heart of the home. Ascend to an expansive loft that easily accommodates a home office, a creative studio, or additional 3rd bedroom, equipped with a side-by-side laundry closet with storage. Both ensuite bedrooms include renovated bathrooms and custom closets. The crown jewel is the west-facing rooftop deck, where sweeping ocean views stretch from Palos Verdes to Malibu, providing an incredible setting for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding and enjoying the sunset. On the lower level, a nearly 400-square-foot finished space is perfect for a media room, home gym, or playroom. Upgrades throughout the home include a newer HVAC system, integrated fridge/freezer, a remodeled powder room, beautiful en-suite baths, custom closets in both bedrooms, a new washer and dryer, custom projector, viewing screen, and surround sound in the lower level, and Lutron automated dual-layer blackout and sheer shades. Additional highlights include a tranquil, landscaped, and secured 5-unit HOA complex with low monthly dues, a gated, alley-accessible garage that leads to a private two-car garage with direct access into the unit plus guest parking. Combining modern updates, storage throughout, flexible living spaces, and an unbeatable Montana Ave location just a quick stroll to renowned shops, cafes, restaurants, and the beach, this is Santa Monica living at its best.
