Condition Rating
Good
This property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. While built in 1972, the unit has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, including a fully updated primary bathroom with dual sinks and a glass-enclosed shower, new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen (though the tile countertops and terracotta floor are dated), brand new ceiling fans, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures throughout. The hardwood floors are in good condition. The overall impression is clean, bright, and well-maintained, fitting the 'Good' criteria of being functional and having some updated components, even if not a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Santa Monica Location: Prime North of Wilshire address, offering unparalleled access to Montana Avenue shops, restaurants, 3rd Street Promenade, and Santa Monica Beach, epitomizing desirable Westside living.
Award-Winning School District: Located within the highly-rated Santa Monica district, specifically zoned for Franklin Elementary and Lincoln Middle School, a significant draw for families and a strong value driver.
Tastefully Updated Interiors: The unit boasts a refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, fresh paint, new light fixtures, and fans, ensuring a modern and move-in ready experience.
Private Balcony with BBQ Station: Features a desirable private outdoor living space with French doors leading to a balcony equipped with a built-in BBQ, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the coastal climate.
Low HOA Dues & Top-Floor Advantage: Benefits from remarkably low HOA dues and the added privacy, quiet, and potential for better light and views associated with a top-floor unit.

Cons

Building Age (1972): While the unit is updated, the building's 1972 construction year may suggest older common area infrastructure or potential for future capital improvements not explicitly covered by current low HOA dues.
Galley Kitchen Layout: The kitchen, though refreshed and functional, retains a galley layout, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking a more open-concept or larger kitchen space.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description mentions new fans but no central air conditioning, which could be a comfort consideration for some buyers during warmer periods, despite Santa Monica's generally mild climate.
