3025 2nd St #2

This Craftsman apartment is located in a classic 1912 building with locking entry doors and gates, only two blocks from the beach and one block from Main Street. It is a light and airy corner unit, with views to the north and good light. The apartment shares the floor with only one other unit, and extends from the front to the back of the building. It is quiet and very private, yet close to everything. It feels like a beach cottage from a bygone era. The 2nd Street Ocean Park location is ideal. This unique home is a beautiful blend of classic Craftsman design and modern amenities, which is very rare on the Westside. It is a light-filled, and private with real personality. The ocean breezes add to the ambience and the comfort. This apartment seldom becomes available. The unit has been thoughtfully restored and renovated, with lots of charm, character and built-ins. Everything is fresh and works well. This home features striking hardwood floors, higher ceilings, 2" white plantation blinds, updated fixtures and newer appliances. The bedroom and the living room have wainscoting, built-ins and other charming wood details. The living room is spacious and open with many windows. The bedroom has recessed lighting above the bed area. Plumbing, electrical, heater and fan have all been updated. There is ample storage and cabinet space throughout, including a large walk-in closet in the main room, two additional closets and a separate dressing area just off of the bathroom. The updated and clean kitchen has tile counters, lots of cabinets, stainless steel appliances, including a 30" self-cleaning cooktop/oven, an under counter dishwasher, a large refrigerator, a microwave and a garbage disposal. The bathroom has clean white ceramic tile throughout, a large pedestal sink and a deep clawfoot tub, with a shower. The water pressure is excellent, which is rare for a older building. Restaurants, shopping, the Pacific Ocean, Main Street and the beach are all close by. There is an on-site laundry facility, a secure on-site bike rack and ample on street parking with available resident's permits from the City of Santa Monica. Secured parking is available across the street for a monthly fee, if you want it. There is also a semi-private back porch and a shared garden. The asking rent is $3,051 per month with a one year minimum lease term. All utilities except electrical are included in the rent. The apartment is approximately 700 square feet, and feels more spacious due to all of the light and the open and flexible lay-out. This is a very special, private and unique apartment in a much sought after area. It is like an ocean cottage from the old days of Santa Monica with modern conveniences and a loft like feeling. Showings are by appointment and start Friday, April 9. To follow up, please email Anthony (the owner). I will email you back and give you my cell phone number. I own and manage the building and am very responsive; so long as you leave contact information for me to reach you. Note: I only accept applications from prospective tenants after they have toured the property. Please do not submit an on-line application. Thank you.
