About this property
Light-filled and spacious, this three-bedroom, three-bath contemporary townhome offers privacy and the welcoming feel of home! The property is ideally located on quiet and desirable 5th Street, just five blocks from the ocean and steps from Montana Avenue, 3rd Street Promenade, and plentiful restaurants and shops. The fully remodeled kitchen, with adjacent dining room, showcases a beautiful PentalQuartz island, Grohe faucets, a 30-inch Miele range, Miele dishwasher, Samsung Showcase side-by-side refrigerator, and Zephyr kitchen hood. A first-floor bedroom, which could also serve as a den or family room, opens through sliding glass doors to a secluded patio. The second level features an oversized living room with a fireplace and dramatic high ceilings, as well as a generously sized primary bedroom suite. The third floor offers a second primary suite with a private bath, palm tree views, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. A private two-car garage provides direct access, storage, and side-by-side laundry. Additional features include a Nest thermostat and newly refinished solid pine wood floors. Zoned for Roosevelt Elementary School and with reasonable HOA dues, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of Santa Monica's most desirable locations.

Payment calculator
Explore a fixed-rate loan scenario. The price comes from this listing; a 20% down payment and 30-year term are starting assumptions, not requirements. Enter your own interest rate—not APR—and estimated costs.
Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
