Top-floor corner. West-facing balcony. Only one shared wall. The trifecta of light, privacy, and ocean breeze is nearly impossible to find at this price point in Santa Monica and Residence #302 has all three. Inside, the open-concept floor plan does the work. Kitchen, dining, and living flow as one bright, airy space, anchored by warm wood countertops and a brand-new refrigerator. As the day turns, the west-facing exposure floods the room with golden-hour light and pulls the eye out to the balcony, where the coastal breeze takes over. The bedroom is a true retreat en-suite bath, custom built-in closet organization, and the same corner-unit quiet with a whisper-quiet mini-split keeping it dialed in year-round. Beyond the door, the building delivers more than the price suggests: a sunset-facing community patio for end-of-day wind-downs, a fitness center with sweeping city and mountain views, a business center for work-from-home days, and dedicated laundry steps from the door on every floor. The location is the closer. Walk to Good Boy Bob for the morning ritual, a Pilates class to stretch out the workday, and the Broadway corridor’s evolving lineup of restaurants, shops, and Bergamot Station galleries all while sitting on the right side of the 405 for the westside commute. One assigned parking space plus two City of Santa Monica residential permits give you and your guests rare flexibility most condo buyers go without. Mornings on the balcony. Sunsets from the patio. Coffee, Pilates, and the Pacific all within reach. This is what Santa Monica is supposed to feel like.
