Oversized south-facing sliders in the living room and skylights over the dining area keep the main living spaces bright from morning to evening. From both the front entry and the balcony, tree-lined hills lead the eye all the way to the Downtown LA skyline, the Hollywood Hills, and the San Gabriel Mountains. //Warm neutral tones and premium materials create a space that feels both sophisticated and inviting. The redesigned kitchen features flat-front light oak cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, a workstation sink, and a full suite of brand-new, top-tier appliances.

On 11th Street, minutes from downtown Santa Monica and the sand, a three-level architectural townhome is built around light and volume. The main floor reads as one uninterrupted room. Polished concrete runs underfoot, glass rises floor to ceiling, and an open staircase climbs through the center of the plan like a piece of art. Living, dining, and kitchen share the same light as it moves across the day. The kitchen is finished in stone and custom cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, and a powder room and inside laundry keep the everyday out of sight. Upstairs, the plan pulls apart. Each bedroom suite claims its own level and its own bath, so the home suits two people keeping different hours as easily as it suits one. Each bedroom opens to a balcony for fresh air. At the very top, the neighborhood falls away: a private roof deck, open to the sky, made for slow mornings and the last light of the evening. Two side-by-side parking spaces and a dedicated storage room are in the community garage. The home measures approximately 1,494 square feet across three levels, with downtown, the Promenade, and the Pacific all within easy reach.
