Property Description
Tucked into one of Mar Vista's most treasured neighborhoods and just 2.5 miles from the beach, this modern-contemporary 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers an indoor/outdoor lifestyle that feels like a private garden sanctuary. From the moment you enter, full-length sliders and expansive windows reveal nearly 180 degrees of lush landscaping, tropical blooms, and curated greenery, creating a seamless connection to nature throughout the home. The property unfolds like a year-round botanical retreat, with hibiscus, ficus, custom plantings, a tranquil water fountain, and a striking succulent wall all of it visible from almost every room. The backyard is equally enchanting, designed for both easy relaxation and entertaining, with multiple seating and dining areas, two gas lines for outdoor cooking, and a hot-water spout ready for a future outdoor kitchen. It's a serene, private paradise that feels worlds away yet deeply connected to the Westside's coastal energy. Inside, the home is warm, bright, and beautifully updated, with thoughtful lighting throughout, under-cabinet illumination, recessed fixtures, custom art lighting, and ceiling-height white cabinetry in a fresh, contemporary kitchen. Throughout the home, updated plumbing and electrical, custom window shades, and numerous improvements speak to years of careful stewardship. The primary suite offers a calming escape with sliding doors to the garden, a see-through fireplace shared with the living room, custom walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with marble counters. The detached garage fully insulated and finished functions as the ultimate sports retreat but also holds excellent ADU potential. Additional comforts include central heat and A/C, upgraded outdoor lighting on programmable timers, and a newer perimeter fence for privacy. Set on a corner lot wrapped in mature trees and ocean breezes, the home sits within a community known for its friendly neighbors, walkability, dog-friendly charm, and quintessential Westside lifestyle. Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, this home has been cherished as a forever home and it feels like it. A true Mar Vista rarity, offering beauty, privacy, and emotional resonance, it stands out as a one-of-a-kind garden oasis for buyers seeking something truly special.
