On the very top of Mar Vista Hill, overlooking Venice, an enchanting residence awaits. Radiating warmth and character this home is an elegant blend of Mid-century modern and contemporary updates. Spanning what feels like much more than 2,115 square feet in the main structure and 300+ sq ft in the… Read More finished garage, plus a multi-zone private yard, there's so much to love about this amazing home.As you stand at the tree-lined corner of Stanwood and Grandview, pause to take in the shimmering views of Century city and the ocean just outside your gate. You enter your private corner-lot and exhale. Relish the mature trees, the high, vine covered walls and the multiple zones for sitting, dining, playing and relaxing. The gentle ocean breezes provide a refreshing escape from the warmer temperatures found in greater Los Angeles. At a lot size that seems to go on forever, this is your private outdoor oasis with room to entertain or simply enjoy the tranquility of your surroundings.Well away from the front gates, a lovely porch and front door invite you into the home. You admire the living room's soaring ceilings and discreet transom skylights. There is natural light everywhere, highlighted by sliding doors for easy enjoyment of the California life-style. There's an intimate conversation nook for friends and fur babies and a formal dining space with built-ins and a stunning Italian Murano glass chandelier for grand entertaining. The open layout kitchen -- with dining bar, abundant cabinets, storage and counter space and a built-in desk -- seamlessly connect to the living areas. Tucked away from the living areas, retreat to the primary suite. A true sanctuary with its library landing, Mid-century rock wall fireplace and soaring ceilings, it has room for a Cali-king, a lounge area and then some. Doors to the outdoors fill the room with a delicious afternoon ocean breeze. Completing the Master retreat is an ensuite bathroom with steam shower and a large walk-in closet.Large enough to be considered a second main, bedroom 2 faces southwest. A versatile room, it can double as a media room or den with a second fireplace to cozy up to if you are inclined. Because we are up high, from bedroom 3 you have peekaboo views of the Pacific Ocean. There's a 4th bedroom and a fully remodeled bath with spa tub, separate shower and skylight to complete the main home.But we've only just begun. Across the yard, find a 2 story finished garage and bonus space. The bright and welcoming upstairs offers a serene backdrop for yoga and stretching or a studio for all your creative pursuits. Grab a nice bottle and gaze at the moon over rooftop views that lead to the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Such a versatile space; with its vaulted ceiling and skylights you can create your happy hour at any hour with Instagram worthy sunrises and sunsets. Have furry family members? We've even created a special place for them - a designated 50+ ft dog run for frolicking to their heart's content.A close-knit community, Mar Vista enjoys an array of vibrant offerings. From this home, walk to one of LA's most popular farmer's markets on Sunday, popular restaurants like Taverna, Little Fatty and the Cloverfield. To name only a few provisioners, there's Mitsuwa marketplace and Whole Foods. Hike the hills with your neighbors in the morning or a slightly longer walk to wonderful parks that include soccer, baseball fields, playgrounds, courts, dog parks, picnic areas and more. There's an active neighborhood association and annual community events at the local baseball field. Nearby bike paths allow for an easy ride to Venice and Marina Del Rey and it's a short drive to Culver City and Santa Monica.
