Spanning approximately 1,541 square feet, the residence combines exceptional privacy, abundant natural light, and beautifully designed living spaces in one of Santa Monica's most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with natural light, the open-concept living and dining areas feature warm hardwood floors, a versatile bonus space ideal for a home office, and double doors that open to a private balcony, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The updated kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a charming breakfast nook, and a discreetly tucked-away Miele washer and dryer. Both spacious bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, providing privacy and flexibility for owners and guests alike. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, dedicated dressing area, and direct access to the balcony.

Ideally located just moments from Montana Avenue and within the coveted Franklin Elementary and Lincoln Middle School districts, this home offers easy access to boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood parks, and the beach. A gated tandem parking space means you'll never have to search for parking on Montana, while neighborhood favorites including Caffe Luxxe, Courtyard Kitchen, Father's Office, R+D Kitchen, La Puglia, and The Window are all just moments away. Combining privacy, generous single-level living, and an unbeatable location, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully appointed home in one of Santa Monica's most sought-after neighborhoods.
