Moments from Palisades Park and the ocean bluffs, this three-level residence offers the space and presence of a private home with the ease of lock-and-leave living. Set among mature trees and herringbone brick walkways within a secure gated complex, unit #12 benefits from an exceptionally private position, with no neighbors directly in front or behind. Direct-entry parking for two cars, additional storage, and an interior elevator connecting all three levels make everyday living effortless. The main level opens to living and dining rooms filled with natural light, featuring black-framed, divided-light windows, wood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling mosaic fireplace. The kitchen pairs warm wood cabinetry and a pebble-mosaic backsplash with a full suite of stainless steel LG appliances, a copper double-basin sink beneath a greenhouse window, and a breakfast bar open to the dining room. Just beyond, a private brick-walled terrace offers space for al fresco dining and entertaining. A scrolled iron staircase rises above custom built-in shelving, while a powder room serves guests. The second level features an additional living area designed for entertaining, complete with a full-wall built-in media unit, wet bar, undercounter refrigeration, and twin skylights overhead. A second bedroom and a striking bathroom with dark subway tile and stacked-stone accents complete this floor. Occupying the third level, the primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, a private covered patio overlooking the treetops, and a fully fitted walk-in dressing closet. The adjoining bathroom includes a dual vanity, soaking tub, and travertine shower. In-unit laundry and a tankless water heater complete the offering. Located North of Wilshire, just a block from Ocean Avenue, the residence is within easy reach of the beach, Palisades Park, and the boutiques of Montana Avenue, with Brentwood Country Mart and downtown Santa Monica close by and PCH and the 10 Freeway minutes away. An exceptional opportunity in one of Santa Monica's most coveted enclaves.
