1447 Franklin Street 2

Bright, cheerful and full of personality, this is the kind of Santa Monica home that simply feels good from the moment you walk in. This inviting two-story residence blends warmth, character and easy indoor-outdoor living, with beautiful wood floors, abundant natural light and a cozy fireplace creating a welcoming centerpiece for the living room. Sliding glass doors open to a private patio framed by greenery, perfect for morning coffee, dinner with friends, a little gardening or simply relaxing in the California sunshine. The bright kitchen offers generous cabinetry and workspace, while the adjoining dining area keeps things open and connected for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, two light-filled bedrooms create a comfortable separation between living and sleeping spaces. The spacious primary suite features a private en-suite bath, two walk-in closets and its own balcony a wonderful little outdoor escape to start or end the day. A convenient powder room for guests, community laundry with the opportunity for in-unit laundry, and assigned 2-car tandem parking add to the everyday ease. And then there's the neighborhood. Local cafes, restaurants, shopping, parks and everyday favorites are all nearby, with Montana Avenue, the Wilshire corridor, Whole Foods, Palisades Park, the beach and Third Street Promenade within easy reach. Brentwood, West LA and the greater Westside are easily accessible too, making it just as convenient to venture out as it is tempting to stay close to home. Colorful, comfortable and wonderfully livable, this is a home with spaces to gather, places to retreat and just the right amount of outdoor living. Host friends around the fireplace, enjoy dinner on the patio, wander out to a neighborhood favorite or settle in for a sunny afternoon at home. It's relaxed Santa Monica living with a personality all its own.
