LOCALLA

Lush hedges, leafy gardens and inviting outdoor spaces create a sense of sanctuary at 3009 Carter Avenue, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home for sale in the coveted Oxford Triangle neighborhood on the border of Venice and Marina del Rey. Set behind a gated entry just moments from Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the Venice Canals and Mother's Beach, this single-story residence brings together warm interiors and an effortless connection to the outdoors. Wood floors run through the open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas. A built-in media wall anchors the living room, while the kitchen pairs white cabinetry with Viking appliances, a wine refrigerator and a generous island with seating, creating a welcoming setting for everyday life and entertaining. Wide glass doors open the dining area to the front deck, extending gatherings outside for leisurely meals, conversation and evenings around the fire pit, framed by mature greenery. At the rear, a garden with an avocado tree and a separate deck provide a quiet spot to unwind. The primary suite enjoys direct access to the rear garden and features an en suite bathroom with a dual vanity and glass-enclosed rainfall shower. Another bedroom also opens onto the back deck and yard, while two further bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the home. Central air conditioning and a detached two-car garage add everyday comfort and practical flexibility. Beyond the neighborhood, the marina, Venice Beach and Playa Vista's Silicon Beach are all close by, making this hideaway a relaxed base for coastal living and a peaceful place to come home to.
