LOCALLA

Breathtaking traditional home in one of Mar Vista's most sought-after pockets, within the coveted Mar Vista Elementary School district. A classic white picket fence and a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance front yard lead you to a charming red front door. Inside, open living spaces are bathed in natural light and strike the perfect balance between period character and thoughtful upgrades. Warm hardwood floors run through the living areas and bedrooms, starting in a living room anchored by a brick fireplace and continuing into a formal dining room with French doors. The kitchen pairs rich wood cabinetry and bold cobalt tile with modern stainless steel appliances, including double wall ovens. It opens to a sunny breakfast nook with French doors to the yard. A bright sunroom adds a few hundred square feet of flexible space for a family room, home office or creative studio (not included in the square footage). All three bedrooms sit in their own wing, keeping living and sleeping spaces nicely separated. They include a spacious primary bedroom with dual closets, and the home also has two luxuriously updated bathrooms with sleek finishes and glass-enclosed showers. The home offers an impressive amount of storage, plus peace-of-mind upgrades including a newer HVAC system and copper plumbing. Out back, the large, maintenance-free yard is framed by lush hedges for privacy. Brick patios create multiple areas for lounging, relaxing or dining al fresco, and a two-car garage completes the package. All of this sits in one of the Westside's most desirable communities. Walk, bike or drive to the best of Mar Vista, Playa Vista and Venice Beach. You'll have everything your heart could desire nearby, from workouts at Equinox and stand-up paddle boarding on the water to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and the buzzworthy restaurants along Abbot Kinney and Washington Boulevard. It's an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle to live, work and play in the heart of LA's thriving tech and creative scene.
