1020 Ocean Park Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405

Less than a mile from the sand, this penthouse townhome with sweeping views takes every aspect of comfort and elevates it to something exceptional. //At over 1400 square feet, this 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath boasts positioning far back from the main street and on the top two floors of an intimate 8-unit building.

You enter into a bright, open living area and your attention is immediately drawn to the balconies - a space to enjoy the surrounding mature greenery and with views extending to the hills toward the coast. The dining and living areas offer spaces that are defined yet open, anchored by a fireplace and the convenience of a laundry room and downstairs powder room.

A darling breakfast nook that offers views in the other direction leads into a sizable kitchen that is equally bathed in natural light. //Upstairs, the secondary bedroom offers plenty of space and more views of the city, with a full bathroom off the hallway.

The primary suite carries that same cozy-contemporary spirit, with enough extra space for it to feel luxurious. It is a genuine retreat with a large, updated en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and extra nook that allows for a bigger TV screen or office space.

It is a place you actually enjoy coming back to, and with two individual parking spaces in an underground garage, you can enjoy the convenience and security of arriving home to a gated, secure complex. //There is plenty of in-unit storage with a large shared storage room downstairs for bikes, paddleboards, or whatever you choose to keep accessible.

With central heat and air rounding out the checked boxes, the feel you get here will live up to much more than simply meeting all the items on your wishlist. The layout flows naturally, and the light moves through it beautifully at every hour. It is the kind of space where a quiet evening in feels just as good as a lively night with friends.

And in this prime Santa Monica location on the verge of Sunset and Ocean Park, you can enjoy the highest benefits of both every single day. This is prime coastal city living with a genuine sense of home underneath it.
