630 Idaho Ave 204 Just one block from Montana Avenue and seven blocks from the beach, Unit 204 at 630 Idaho Ave offers an unusually easy Santa Monica lifestyle in one of the Westside's most desirable pockets. Cafes, restaurants, boutiques, fitness studios, Erewhon, Whole Foods, and the coast are all close by, while the home itself sits on a quiet, tree-lined residential street.Inside, this bright 1-bedroom, 1-bath residence has been thoughtfully upgraded with the kind of features that make everyday living feel notably more comfortable. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, custom built-ins, and a fireplace give the living room warmth and character, while a separate dining area creates a surprisingly spacious and functional layout.The kitchen stands out with high-end appliances rarely found in a one-bedroom, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking oven, and generous wine fridge. In-unit washer and dryer add another major convenience, especially in a location where many comparable homes still rely on shared laundry.The spacious bedroom features custom closet built-ins and direct access to a private northwest-facing balcony, also accessible from the living room. It is an easy extension of the home, with room to sit outside, enjoy the coastal air, and take in the evening light.With abundant storage, quality finishes, in-unit laundry, and an exceptional location between Montana Avenue and the beach, this is a home that works equally well as a full-time residence, a Santa Monica pied--terre, or a low-maintenance Westside home base. Comfortable, polished, and exceptionally well located, it offers the kind of everyday convenience that is increasingly hard to find this close to the coast.
