Welcome home to this top-floor one-bedroom + office/den in the beautiful 55+ complex of The Montecito. Located just 1.7 miles from the beach, The Montecito consists of only 48 single-level condos, and top-floor units are rarely available. Although one resident must be 55+, buyers of any age can own a unit in the community. This turnkey home has been impeccably maintained and beautifully upgraded. Enter into the open concept floor plan that gives a feeling of space much larger than the square footage would indicate. Flooded with natural light, the interior spaces are warm and inviting, featuring beautiful Nexxa-Core wide plank luxury vinyl flooring and a neutral color palette. The entertainer’s kitchen opens to the dining and living areas and features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, sleek white cabinetry, and recessed lighting. The large dining and living areas offer a tranquil retreat with city light views, and the home features both central heat and A/C. Head out the double French doors to the private south-facing covered balcony to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets, beach breezes, and a view of Palos Verdes in the distance. The spacious south-facing bedroom offers excellent natural light and features high ceilings, a ceiling fan, and an upgraded walk-in closet with built-ins. In addition to the primary suite, the thoughtful layout features a separate and spacious room off the kitchen that could be readily utilized as a den, office, formal dining room, and even large enough as a guest room, and features custom cabinetry from California Closets. For total convenience the condo offers in-unit stackable laundry located just off of the bedroom. The Montecito provides a friendly atmosphere with elevator access to all levels, a peaceful courtyard, a community room, and each level features an outdoor fireplace and seating area. The community allows two pets and is a non-smoking building. The condo comes with one designated parking spot in the gated garage along with storage. The location is ideal and central to everything the South Bay has to offer. The beach, The Point in El Segundo, downtown Hermosa and Manhattan are all within a few miles.
