Inside, the open beamed ceilings are still in place, but just about
everything else in this unit is brand new. The kitchen has been refurbished, at
the sacrifice of original cabinetry and appliances, with new, white-high-gloss
cabinets, GE Artistry Series appliances, composite counters and a composite of
warm grey tile accents. Additional storage has been built into the dining nook,
and vintage lighting hangs over the dining room table.

The bedroom is relatively diminutive in size, but features
the same high windows as the living room offering glimpse mountain and palm
tree views, while a patterned wallpaper accent wall gives the room a fun, hip
vibe. The bathroom has undergone a complete renovation as well, with new high-gloss
vanity, fixtures, and backsplash tilework. The mosaic tile wall in the shower
surround was the only surviving original feature of this unit, and still
appears relevant in this restoration.
This unit offers a ready-to-go lifestyle, being sold
fully-furnished. It’s a perfect vacation retreat, rental or second home for
those looking for a low maintenance, lock & leave midcentury sanctuary.
