Questions about this property’s policies and fees?

Tucked behind a lush curtain of greenery, this charming Santa Monica studio is serving up major cottage vibes! Surrounded by leafy trees, shady pathways, and a whole lot of character, this bungalow-style beauty feels like a secret little hideaway. And yet, you're right in the middle of one of LA's most desirable beachside neighborhoods. Talk about having your cake and eating it too! Step inside and say hello to sunshine! Oversized windows invite natural light to dance across the gorgeous hardwood floors, while crisp white walls and charming architectural details give the space an airy, timeless feel. There's plenty of room to make yourself at home, plus a roomy closet to keep your belongings tucked neatly away. And the kitchen? She's got room to work with! Unlike your typical studio kitchenette, this is a proper kitchen with a full-size stove, refrigerator, generous counter space, and cabinets galore. The bathroom brings a little extra personality to the party with playful, colorful tilework and a classic clawfoot tub just begging for a long, leisurely soak. Outside, mature trees and abundant greenery create a peaceful, tucked-away atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle. One parking space is included (a Santa Monica luxury!), though please note there is no laundry on-site. Location, location, location! Just off Pico Boulevard and 5th Street, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Santa Monica. Grab a coffee, cruise down to the beach, explore the local shops and restaurants, or hop on the 10 or PCH for adventures farther afield. A little bit of bungalow charm, a whole lot of Santa Monica magic, and a sweet place to call home. Come see for yourself!
