Enveloped in windows and abundant light on three sides, this top-floor end unit condo is the epitome of a happy home. Spanning the entire courtyard-facing side of the back building in a small 6-unit complex, the floor plan features an expansive balcony that faces the trees and garden. Enter your unit through a secured gate and up the exterior stairs of the back structure - a setup that feels less like a stoic apartment building and more like a real home with added security and privacy. Sharing only one (non-bedroom) wall, this well-appointed unit offers a smartly designed layout. Upon entry, the hallway welcomes you right into the bright and open living room with a giant window to your personal outdoor space. There is a powder room perfect for entertaining and in-unit laundry for ultimate convenience. The dining area leads to the well-equipped kitchen which features a window that faces the sunset. The landing area off of the living room/hallway provides ample extra storage and a bit of separation from the bedrooms, which feature zero shared walls with any units and a full bathroom in between. There is a dedicated remote-operated enclosed garage space for one car parking and additional garage storage, as well as two resident parking passes for the street which is entirely designated as permit parking only. In a prime Santa Monica location with the bike path right down the block and a 10 minute ride to the beach, and right in the middle of countless shops and eateries, this bright sanctuary is the perfect place to welcome you home!
