Gorgeous contemporary garden duplex in Santa Monica. Bright, light-filled, private, and close to the best of the West Side, this is the perfect combination of modern Southern California indoor and outdoor living. It doesn't get better than this! This is not your typical Westside apartment duplex; it feels like 4 small houses on a private walk street behind a secure coded gate. The design is clean mid-century contemporary vernacular: corner glass windows, polished concrete floors, and built-in cabinetry. The unit has only one shared wall, with windows on the other three sides filling the space with light all day. A substantial central skylight completes the tree house feel. The unit fronts onto a generous and beautifully landscaped entry walkway. It has two additional outdoor spaces, one directly off the kitchen dining area and another out French doors from the bedroom. Close to all the best of the Westside: 13 blocks to the ocean, very close to the myriad of shops and services on Pico Boulevard and Ocean Park, Santa Monica College, local parks and community sports fields, Santa Monica's Main Street, and Third Street Promenade, and minutes to Venice's Rose and Abbot Kinney districts to the south, or Wilshire and Montana to the north. 5 blocks to the Exposition Line. It is very close to UCLA and Providence St. John's Medical Centers. Stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, in-wall heating, and A/C unit. There is one parking space and no subletting, Airbnb, or similar.
