Description

Positioned just one block from the boutiques, cafes, and iconic energy of Montana Avenue and only seven blocks from the beach, Unit 204 at 630 Idaho Ave places you in the heart of Santa Monica's most coveted coastal lifestyle. This is one of those rare addresses where the neighborhood does as much work as the home itself. Tree-lined streets, salt-kissed air, and a walkable grid of world-class amenities surround you on every side, yet the moment you step inside, the city quietly falls away. Mornings begin with a cappuccino at Caffe Luxxe or a small-batch pour-over at Primo Passo, two of Montana's most beloved neighborhood spots. Afternoons drift toward the sand and the iconic bike path that stretches along the coast. Evenings end with ocean air and sunset walks home. On weekends, Erewhon, Whole Foods, and the Santa Monica Farmers Market are all within easy reach, as are the restaurants, wine bars, pilates studios, and boutiques that have made this stretch of the Westside one of the most desirable places to live in all of Los Angeles. Inside, this bright and turnkey 1-bedroom, 1-bath residence pairs comfort with thoughtful, curated upgrades throughout. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, custom built-ins, and a cozy fireplace create a warm and inviting living space that feels both polished and livable. The separate dining area adds a sense of spaciousness and intentional flow, making the home feel significantly larger than its footprint suggests. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a Viking oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a generous wine fridge, making it as functional for everyday cooking as it is for hosting. The spacious bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with custom closet built-ins designed to maximize both storage and style. Direct access to the private northwest-facing balcony makes the bedroom feel like its own wing of the home. That same balcony, also accessible from the living room, becomes your year-round perch for cool ocean breezes and the kind of glowing Santa Monica sunsets that never get old. The northwest exposure means you get beautiful natural light without the harsh afternoon heat, a detail that makes everyday living here genuinely comfortable in every season. Additional highlights include an in-unit washer and dryer, abundant storage throughout, and a location minutes from the 10 freeway, Santa Monica College, and the best of both the beach and the city. The building is well maintained and quietly situated on a residential block that feels worlds away from the bustle, even though everything is right there. Some homes make you choose between beach living and everyday practicality. Here, you never have to. This is the lifestyle you moved to the Westside for, and it is finally all in one place. Do not wait on this one.
