Spanish Colonial Gem. A rare gem not likely to be found again, if ever. An original Spanish Colonial light-filled one bedroom condo with beautiful, large mullioned windows filled with trees and greenery, and bougainvillea draping down its two Juliette balconies. Original hand-textured plaster walls and archways, high coved ceiling, two sets of French doors, gleaming solid-wood flooring, beautiful crown moldings and built-in cabinetry. Designer-renovated with Carrara marble kitchen counters and bathroom flooring, subway tiles lining the kitchen backsplash and bathtub walls, and raindrop glass bathroom window. Feel the ocean breezes flow through this West-facing top (second) floor unit, with sunlight streaming in through the bougainvillea and lighting up the trumpet flowers in the tall front privacy hedge. This secluded jewel box is set in a beautiful gated patio garden with only nine units, no shared walls, double entry doors to two four-unit sections, each with a huge arched stairwell with hand-plastered walls and original wrought-iron chandelier and hand rails. Original antique hardware is complemented by new polished chrome hardware, recessed lights and dimmers throughout. Private refinished garage with new built-in storage cabinets. Extra storage closets on first floor. As sophisticated, historic and charming as it gets. Fit for a prince or princess's pied-a-terre or stylish Santa Monica abode. Walk to downtown and Wilshire Blvd. restaurants, the Apple Store, Montana Avenue shopping, the famous Santa Monica Farmers Market and the Palisades Park bluffs overlooking the most beautiful beach in the world. This condo cannot be matched.
