502 Strand St 2BR Santa Monica La

Tucked behind a gated entry and framed by mature hedges, this beautifully renovated bungalow offers exceptional privacy and effortless indoor-outdoor living in one of Santa Monica's most desirable neighborhoods. Thoughtfully redesigned throughout, the home features a brand-new kitchen with Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, and ceramic tile extending to the ceiling, adding subtle texture and a refined feel. A carefully detailed new bathroom, gleaming hardwood floors, central air and heat with a Nest thermostat, in-unit washer and dryer, and a tankless water heater enhance the home's appeal. Large picture windows look out on the surrounding greenery and fill the interior with abundant natural light. Three private outdoor spaces, including a landscaped garden and entertaining deck, create a true extension of the space. A quick walk to Main Street and the beach, and moments from Abbot Kinney, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the comfort and privacy of a fresh, tranquil retreat in an unbeatable coastal location.
