Once upon a time in the very heart of Mar Vista. The dreamiest turnkey beach house circa 1948, with a pulse and personally. Lovingly reimagined by artistic homeowners of 8 happy years, boasting impeccable finishes and a truly seamless layout flowing inside and out. A stone's throw to hip cafes, Whole Foods, farmers markets, and Mar Vista Rec, yet tucked away in a picturesque pocket of tree lined streets, where kids ride their bikes till sunset and neighbors stop to enjoy a chat. Private, quiet, removed and restful. Inside, there's space for everyone. Anchored by original hardwood floors and TWO gorgeous fireplaces, this home revolves around a charming brick courtyard, with accordion bi-fold doors effortlessly opening both living and family rooms to the lush outside. Chef's kitchen is exquisite, with stainless steel appliances, nooks to hide everything away so thoughtful details shine, and accompanied by a proper romantic dining room where memories make themselves. Retreat to 4 huge bedrooms, including a dedicated primary "wing" with unparalleled closet space and stunning bathroom, plus a guest bedroom with ensuite, and two additional bedrooms with a large third bathroom. Outside, plenty of vignettes for daydreaming and entertaining. A large, fully fenced and grassy backyard (room for a pool?) plus mature gardens that read like a real who's who: camellias, roses, jacaranda, bougainvillea, lavender, and privacy hedging. Close to playgrounds, great private schools (Winward, Wildwood), and lauded Mar Vista Elementary. Under the hood, every system enjoys upgrades, like a 200amp electrical panel, HVAC with Nest, upgraded plumbing, new double paned windows and doors, newer roof, and more. Plus extensive storage throughout, including a large two car garage (future ADU?) means bringing all of your hobbies and passions. On a crisp evening, the smell of sea air reminds you just how close you live to the ocean, and perhaps why you're here to begin with. A perfectly positioned jump-off-spot for westside movers and shakers, nestled in one of the most beloved and vibrant neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and at a knockout price point. Come over, come see!
