Unique loft-style 2-story condo at the iconic El Cortez features soaring coffered tray ceilings and vintage details blending character with modern convenience. Celebrate this landmark's centennial next year while enjoying Mills Act savings on property taxes (total property tax approx $2,600/year!). Upgraded throughout with built ins, smart home features (lights, HVAC, window coverings), real wood floors, and high-end appliances. Freshly reconfigured upstairs features 2 bedrooms plus office space. This home offers quite possibly the most interior storage of any unit you'll find downtown, with 2 walk-in closets (one hidden), large walk-in pantry and hidden overhead storage. Great unit for entertainment on first level, NOT at street level, with quick and easy access to enter/exit the complex, great for dog walks and visitors. Unit is located on the secluded E/NE side of the building with abundant light and outdoor space.
