A remarkable top-floor penthouse in one of Santa Monica's most sought-after neighborhoods, just moments from the beach, the Santa Monica Stairs, Montana Avenue shops, Palisades Park, and more. Fully remodeled and curated by the current owner for her own use, this exceptional residence reflects a level of detail and finish typically reserved only for multi-million-dollar homes. A formal entry leads to an open-concept floor plan with a sleek gourmet kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances including a chef's gas range and oven, built-in steam oven, microwave, and wine fridge, plus custom brass and glass shelving, a honed marble backsplash, and a granite waterfall island with breakfast bar and extra storage. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a built-in dining nook, spacious living room, and balcony made for lounging. The luxe, spa-like bathroom is richly finished with a floating oak vanity, double shower heads, jacuzzi tub, designer mosaic tile, and high-end fixtures and hardware. The oversized bedroom offers space for a king-sized bed, plus space for a home office, exercise, or sitting area. Additional upgrades include new windows with motorized shades, new lighting, new electrical panel, wide-plank Italian oak floors, custom oak interior doors and molding, air conditioning, and in-unit laundry. Larger than many two-bedroom units, this top floor, one-bedroom condo is flooded with natural light from multiple exposures. Set within a coveted and secure building, the property also enjoys lush landscaping, a panoramic rooftop deck, one secure parking space, and extra storage. HOA dues are $690 per month and include water, sewer, trash and earthquake insurance.
