Welcome to Residence Two West, located in the historic El Tovar by the Sea - considered by many to be the most desirable building on Ocean Avenue! Originally constructed in 1928 and meticulously remodeled and expanded in 1996, the El Tovar complex seamlessly blends three distinct architectural styles - Classical Revival, Streamlined Moderne and Modified Classical Mediterranean. Beyond the gated and secure entry of the Garden Building, an elevator leads to the second level, which features only three residences. Designed with a thoughtful floor plan reminiscent of a single-family home, the unit welcomes owners and guests into a foyer and main hallway framed by soaring ceilings. The sunken living room is the showpiece of the home, featuring a fireplace, built-in bar and expansive windows that bathe the space with natural light. Adjacent is the picturesque dining room which flows smoothly to the lovely patio where lush greenery sets the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining and relaxing. The well-appointed kitchen is replete with a center island, high-end appliances, walk-in pantry and an inviting, casual dining area. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering an impressive bedroom with direct access to the patio, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious bathroom with dual marble vanities, an oversized spa tub and a large shower. The separate guest wing features two spacious bedrooms, each with large French doors and windows opening to a shared private patio. The full bathroom which serves this wing ensures comfort and convenience. A tasteful powder room and a separate laundry room complete the interior layout. Additional features include a private, secure two-car garage with storage space, as well as guest parking, a large gym, dedicated property security and staff, and the famed El Tovar garden consisting of a resort-style pool, grotto spa, waterfall and lush landscaping. Situated across from Palisades Park with its stunning ocean views, El Tovar enjoys one of Santa Monica's most prestigious locations close to Montana Avenue's shops and restaurants, the famed Santa Monica Farmer's Market, and the beach. Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience a superior coastal lifestyle!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
