About this property

Enjoy elevated coastal living in this beautifully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence at 1853 12th St, a distinctive new-construction boutique building designed by award-winning architect Gabriel Sandoval of DUB Studios. Located on the ground level, Residence C offers a thoughtfully designed floor plan with a seamless connection between the living space and its private patio, an inviting outdoor setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or relaxing by the coast. Contemporary architecture, refined finishes, HVAC, and an in-unit washer/dryer provide modern comfort and convenience, while the interiors showcase a chic, design-forward sensibility that feels more like a boutique architectural residence than a traditional rental. Set in a desirable Santa Monica location, just a short distance from the beach, Santa Monica Pier, Main Street, Third Street Promenade, and Santa Monica College, Residence C offers a sophisticated take on modern coastal living. Move-in expected November 1.
