This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse was the first home to a lovely family who spared no expense in making it a special place. Since purchasing it in 2020, they have completely updated the kitchen with new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, countertops (with island extension), sink, fixtures, hardware, and more. New floors and baseboards were installed throughout. Other updates include a new water heater, electrical breaker box, energy efficient lighting, fireplace resurfacing, custom built-out closets and doors, remodeled bathrooms, new fixtures, new stair railing, new laundry room (appliances and buildouts), fresh paint, and more.The floor plan is ideal for entertaining as you step into an inviting living room that flows into the dining and open kitchen areas. Off of the dining area is a conveniently located powder room and a stairwell leading to the basement and laundry room with direct access to the secure, semi-private garage. The parking spaces are side-by-side and there is an extra-large private storage closet in the garage. The home is completed with 3 bedrooms upstairs. Other notable features include central air and heat, quiet end-unit, a strong HOA with good reserves, and earthquake insurance. The North of Wilshire location is close to all the best shops and restaurants in Santa Monica with Franklin Elementary as its home school.
