16 36th Place, Unit L, is set in a contemporary style, mid-century condo development with only 12 units on the sands of Belmont Shores providing epic, unobstructed ocean, beach and harbor views. Upon entering this single-level 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo with an open floor plan, there is a sense of awe at just how attainable oceanfront living can still be in Southern California. With private, direct access to the sandy beach and boardwalk below, one can stroll the beachfront or meander along Bluff Park Walk to the Belmont Pier and nearby eateries. This is a premier location offering an incredible lifestyle. This condo home has newly refinished oak floors throughout and an ensuite primary bedroom with a remodeled bathroom. The preserved, vintage kitchen with breakfast bar opens to the living and dining area, inclusive of an ocean front balcony, and allows for easy entertaining. A second bedroom and updated bathroom is great for guests, a home office or permanent bedroom. The complex has a security entrance, a designated single parking space with storage area in the secure subterranean garage and a reasonable HOA fee of $475 monthly.
