Description

Welcome to Unit 425, "The Great Retreat," a truly exceptional top-floor home in Playa Vista. This residence stands out among the community's thousands of units due to its premium location, unique floor plan with minimal shared walls, and high-end renovation. This home was recently renovated with the love and care of a homeowner, not a flipper, featuring nearly $150,000 in upgrades. No detail was overlooked, from the premium White Oak engineered wood floors and beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms to custom, remote-controlled window treatments and hand-blown pendant lights. The residence is also fully equipped with smart technology, including a smart lighting system to customize the ambiance, a Nest thermostat, KwikSet door lock, and a Ring doorbell with speakers on all floors. Unlike many condos that share 60% of their walls with a neighbor, this unit shares only about 10%. Fewer shared walls means more sunlight, greater privacy, and less noise. As a top-floor unit, it benefits from uniquely high ceilings, creating an airy, sunlit space. The southern-facing direction ensures abundant natural light floods the home throughout the day. Located in the desirable Serenade building, this is one of the most walk-friendly addresses in Playa Vista. You are literally steps away from Concert Park and the community's most charming commercial district: a summer concert, a beer, or a cup of coffee is just a few steps away. The Serenade complex itself is an oasis, boasting Mediterranean and Tuscan-style architecture. With lush gardens, multiple water fountains, and airy corridors, the complex feels like a vacation getaway. Importantly, this is also one of Playa Vista's best-maintained and financially healthiest buildings, with a funded reserve of nearly 80%. Unit 425 is truly your retreat: offering the best location, high-end finishes, and a rare sense of peace and quiet. Other Notes: The 3rd bedroom is a loft. In-unit laundry, 2-car tandem parking, central heating and cooling, shared electric car charger. Tax records state 1,740 sqft.
