844 3rd Street # 5

Located just moments from the ocean, Palisades Park, Montana Avenue, and the 3rd Street Promenade, this move-in-ready Santa Monica townhome offers the privacy and feel of a single-family residence within an exclusive five-unit gated community. The spacious 3-bedroom plus loft, 3-bath layout features a dramatic light-filled living room with soaring 20-foot ceilings, a double-sided fireplace, and hardwood flooring throughout. The recently remodeled chef's kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, stone countertops, center island, and opens seamlessly to the dining area for entertaining. An expansive loft overlooks the living space and provides flexible use as a den, office, or media area, with balconies on both ends. The primary suite is a private retreat with a beautifully updated spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, free standing tub, and dreamless glass shower with rainfall shower head, while the top-floor bedroom opens to a large rooftop terrace with city views and peek-a-boo ocean vistas. Additional highlights include EV-ready secure parking with direct access, in-unit laundry, ample storage, low HOA dues, abundant natural light, and excellent walkability to the beach, shops, restaurants, and weekly farmers market.
