This is a low-rise, two-story condominium complex in Santa Monica’s Ocean Park neighborhood, built in 1972 and composed of townhouse-style and stacked units. The architecture reads as coastal California modesty with pitched roofs, wood-clad details and a small-scale, garden-oriented footprint that fits into a block of craftsman bungalows. Units are multi-level with private street-level entries, vaulted or beamed high ceilings, large windows and outdoor rooms including private patios, balconies and courtyards. Interiors commonly feature hardwood or bamboo floors, recessed lighting, separate formal dining or eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars, walk-in closets and updated baths and kitchens with contemporary fixtures. Common-area provisions emphasize low-density residential living: a gated entry, secure parking garages or semi-private two-car spaces that accommodate cars and boards, bicycle storage, and shared landscaped courtyards. The complex is small (roughly a dozen units per descriptions), with low HOA dues and a neighborly vibe; services center on resident convenience rather than full-service staffing, with in-unit laundry or HOA-approved installations and occasional community laundry. Located a short walk from Main Street, Rose Avenue, Abbot Kinney and the sand, the building leverages its Ocean Park setting—easy beach access, proximity to shops, cafes and Silicon Beach employers—while offering sun-filled interiors, cross breezes and usable private outdoor space tailored to coastal living.
