Privately tucked behind a lush garden courtyard, this beautifully updated one-bedroom residence offers a rare blend of character, thoughtful design, and modern convenience in the heart of Santa Monica. Warm hardwood floors, custom window treatments, recessed lighting, and an integrated speaker system create inviting interiors, while smart home features -- including an August smart lock and Philips Hue lighting -- bring effortless functionality to everyday living. A standout rarity, the home is the only residence in the building with a fully permitted in-unit washer and dryer. Beyond the front door, recent building enhancements elevate the experience even further, including a newly redesigned outdoor lounge complete with a BBQ, fire pit, and secure gated entry. Whether enjoying a quiet morning in the courtyard or gathering with friends outdoors, the property offers a welcoming sense of community seldom found in condominium living. Perfectly positioned just moments from Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Layla Bagels, Ghisallo Pizza, Lunetta, and Blossom & Friends Cafe, the residence places some of Santa Monica's favorite neighborhood destinations within easy reach. Cloverfield Park, Virginia Avenue Park, the weekly farmers market, and Santa Monica College's track and pool are all nearby, offering an ideal balance of walkability, recreation, and everyday convenience in one of the Westside's most desirable neighborhoods.
