Home highlights

2 bd, 2 ba Apartment for rent at $11,000/mo in Santa Monica, CA 90405. Exceptional top-floor unit in a small six-unit building, featuring a spectacular 655 sq. ft. private deck with ocean views and incredible sunset exposure. Originally renovated as the owner's personal residence, the home was completed with an uncompromising attention to quality, resulting in a sophisticated blend of architectural character, quality craftsmanship, and indoor-outdoor living. The expansive great room is filled with natural light and highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic exposed wood beam, engineered hardwood floors, and built-in Bowers & Wilkins surround sound. The open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with an oversized center island and bar seating, Caesarstone countertops, and marble backsplash. Sliding glass doors open to the unit's standout feature: an expansive private rear deck with frameless glass railings that preserve the ocean views, a Bison pedestal decking system, gas hookup for a fire pit, and bamboo planters with automated irrigation. The primary suite has a front-facing balcony, generous custom walk-in closet, and beautifully finished bath with dual vanity, ceiling-mounted mirrors, and frameless glass shower. A spacious second bedroom offers a customizable Elfa closet system and sits adjacent to a second full bath. Additional features include central HVAC with Nest thermostat, side-by-side Whirlpool washer and dryer, and Lutron motorized living room shades. Ideally located just blocks from the beach and moments from the shops, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites of Main Street, Rose Avenue, and Abbot Kinney Blvd, with convenient access to the 10 Freeway.
