LOCALLA

Extensively redesigned and expanded into its present two-story form in 2012 by Los Angeles architect John Robinson, this detached 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sits on a quiet corner in Mar Vista. Offering an uncommon mix of architectural character, abundant natural light, substantial storage, and four distinct outdoor spaces. Designed to capture coastal breezes and sunlight throughout the day, the home pairs large, strategically placed windows and white wood-beamed ceilings with warm Brazilian cherrywood floors. The main level features light-filled living and dining areas, an updated kitchen with all-new appliances, extensive built-ins, and a full bathroom. All three bedrooms are upstairs, including a private primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a west-facing balcony with beautiful afternoon light. The en-suite bath offers dual sinks and a modern shower with a window framing a mature magnolia tree. A second full bath serves the additional bedrooms. The indoor-outdoor connection is central to the design. Two upstairs balconies offer treetop and mountain views along with beautiful sunset light, while the front patio and private rear deck create low-maintenance spaces for dining, entertaining, or relaxing amid mature greenery and a Japanese maple. Additional features include attic storage in the main house and above the garage; central HVAC with a commercial-grade electronic air-filtration system; and integrated dual-zone sound with built-in speakers on both levels. The one-car garage includes laundry and can also function as a home gym, workspace, or creative studio. Minutes from Mar Vista's cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities, with easy access to Venice, Culver City, Marina del Rey, and the beach, this distinctive, move-in-ready home offers architectural character, privacy, and effortless Westside living.
