Experience penthouse living at The Gables, a beautifully maintained and highly secure 55+ condominium community for active seniors located less than 3 miles from the ocean where it meets the warms sands of Redondo Beach. This highly desirable turn-key end unit condo, newly carpeted and refreshed, is situated at a corner of the top floor for maximum sunlight and panoramic views, and perfectly laid out for convenience and comfort. Step into the foyer and you’ll see a welcoming main living area for gathering with friends and family and access to your private balcony. There is a nicely equipped kitchen with plenty of light wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a built-in microwave, and granite top breakfast bar. The condo also features a bright, sunny bedroom (windows on two sides!) with ample closet space, plus a large bath with handsome tile flooring and walk-in shower. For added convenience, there is a utility closet with stackable washer/dryer. An elevator ride to the main level takes you to the public areas of The Gables, where you’ll find comfortable lounge areas, a community room, and a library/reading room. Beyond the front door, you’ll have easy access to your assigned, covered parking space in a gated parking lot. There is also plenty of guest parking outside the gate for your visitors. The neighborhood offers a wonderful array of shopping, dining, entertainment and useful health services: Del Amo Fashion Center (with its shops, patio dining, and theater), Mitsuwa Marketplace, the Civic Center, Providence LCM Hospital, and access to public transportation. A few minutes’ drive takes you to the shore and the beautiful seaside green spaces of Veteran’s Park which includes an attractive senior center, walking paths, sunset views, and a fabulous farmer’s market.
