About this home

An incredible location for enjoying the best of Mar Vista, Venice and Marina del Rey, with the space and neighborhood feel that's increasingly hard to find on the Westside. Tucked onto a quiet, family-friendly street, this home offers a truly walkable lifestyle. Walk to your choice of premium coffee shops, Rainbow Acres runs, the famous Mar Vista Farmers Market, neighborhood restaurants and everyday essentials. Bike to the beach or Abbot Kinney, or get to the 90 freeway in minutes for quick access across the Westside and LAX. Have little ones? Some of the area's favorite kids' spots are right nearby, including reDiscover Center, Grace Ballet, Marina Martial Arts, Bananas Art Studio and Club Joyful. Close to Glen Alla, Mother's Beach, Culver West and Penmar Park District. The street itself is filled with families and young kids, with excellent school options nearby. Love great food? Walk or bike to neighborhood favorites like Blueys, Saby's, Hatchet Hall, Broken Spanish Comedor, Corner Door, Pitfire and Maxine's, plus local sushi, pizza, Ginger's Ice Cream and more. Into fitness? A plethora of pilates, barre, yoga, strength training, meditation and infrared workouts are all walkable or bikable, with an Orangetheory and Barry's Bootcamp just around the corner. And the beach? Bike there or hop on the bus and be there in two stops. The main house is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with brand-new floors, new appliances and a refinished bathroom. A Dutch door lets in the ocean breeze. A separate structure in the backyard dramatically expands the living space. The large bonus room has its own full bathroom and is spacious enough to create multiple zones. Use it as a second living room, guest space, playroom, workout room or creative studio. It can comfortably accommodate a full couch and TV setup with room to spare. There is also a separate dedicated office with its own entrance, ideal for working from home without sacrificing a bedroom, plus a single-car garage. Altogether, the property functions as a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a dedicated office, large bonus room and garage, offering significantly more flexibility than a typical 2-bedroom rental. Large backyard is fully private, surrounded by tall hedges, flowering bougainvillea and mature trees, including an avocado tree and fruit-producing lemon and orange trees. A back deck with pergola creates a perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the yard still offers plenty of usable open space and the relaxing sound of a Restoration Hardware fountain outside. There's room for a swing set or trampoline without taking over the backyard, plus ample driveway space for parking. It's a rare combination on the Westside: walkability, a truly private yard, dedicated home office, second living space, two bathrooms and a garage, all on a welcoming residential street minutes from the beach and everything Mar Vista, Venice and Marina del Rey have to offer.
