Located on the corner of East Arrellaga and Olive Street, this 3 bedroom, 3 ½ bath unit is the cornerstone of this long awaited project. Large and free standing, this unit feels more like a single family home with an ideal floor plan, bright and open spaces with fine finishes, and traditional style. 
 
The classic entry with slate stairs welcomes you into the great room full of natural light, high beam ceilings and architectural details.  The hand-scraped distressed hard wood floors, gas fireplace with Travertine hearth, and nearby window seat add to the ambiance of this inviting space.
 
With two master suites this unit is ideal for dual living. The upstairs and downstairs suites are equally generous in size. Both bathrooms have dual sinks, soaking tubs, walk-in showers and warm natural surfaces. The downstairs suite feels like a separate residence, offering guests a private entrance and adjacent patio to enjoy that morning cup of coffee or afternoon read. 
 
The third bedroom is located upstairs and offers a full bath.  An  additional room with more bright windows, views and built-in window seat is located across from the master bedroom and could be converted to a formal dining room, den or media room.
 
Like all the Arrellaga and Olive kitchens, this space is a cook’s delight. Accents include  marble counters, a central island with prep sink, glass front chocolate finished cherry cabinets, and of course, stainless steel Jenn-Air appliances.

A comfortable designer style with fine detail is evident in this 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home, high above Olive St. The living spaces have the signature craftsman style with wide casings, abundant windows and natural finishes.

This is an inviting and serene space with bathrooms that offer the same warm appointments as the other Arrellaga and Olive units.

The second bedroom suite, with full bath and private balcony, has the same closet configuration and generous organizational options. Just outside the bedrooms, and at the top of the stairs, is a mezzanine office with large built-in cherry desk and media connections.

Each upstairs bedroom has a private balcony with not only city views but views of the ocean as well. Gentle olive branches back drop these spaces offering privacy to already serene spaces .

The unit has an attached 1 car garage, with access to an additional walk-in garage across the driveway. Every aspect of this home is warm, welcoming and smart.
