A rare opportunity to own in the fabled El Tovar by the Sea. Originally constructed in 1990, the building blends Classical Revival, Streamlined Moderne and Classic Mediterranean architectural styles. Residence One West sits beyond the security gates and the pool/spa that are currently undergoing an extensive upgrade. The front door welcomes you into a grand indoor/outdoor floor plan that features 2694 square foot of living space and boasts the only wrap around patio in the complex, with direct private secure access to the Alta Ave's sidewalk. This outdoor space provides the feeling of a home with all of the amenities of a luxury full service building. This one-of-a-kind unit is ideal for pet owners or those wanting to walk outside on the famed bluffs or stroll to restaurants or boutiques nearby. The spacious 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath layout provides separate sleeping areas, and an open living and dining area that is splashed with natural light throughout. Truly must be seen to appreciate this remarkable unit at the most commanding address on Ocean Avenue.
