    What's special

    Welcome to this private Mar Vista retreat, extensively renovated and reimagined for modern living and entertaining. The property features a 3-bed, 2.5-bath main residence plus an approx. 600 sq. ft. detached flex structure with two large rooms, full kitchen and bath. The main house is bright and open, with living/dining spaces flowing naturally into the chef's kitchen with an expansive island and stainless-steel appliances. Two built-in Euro Cave wine cellars with approx. 460-bottle capacity add a rare, distinctive touch. The two downstairs bedrooms offer generous closets, abundant natural light, and views of the front and back yards. Bamboo flooring runs throughout the home, complemented by Roman shades and custom built-in storage, including floor-to-ceiling hallway cabinetry. A convenient half bath doubles as a dedicated laundry room. The entire second floor encompasses a spacious, private primary suite with high beamed ceilings, plantation shutters, dual-pane windows, and a deep walk-in closet, alongside a spa-quality bath with dual vanities, polished porcelain counters, a smart steam shower with sound system, and radiant-heated slate floors. Built-in bookshelves, storage drawers, and cozy bench seating surround the wood/gas-burning fireplace, adding warmth and charm to this thoughtfully designed space. The approx. 600 sq. ft. detached flex structure (unpermitted; excluded from assessor sq. ft.) is currently used as an office, with a generous layout offering flexibility for multigenerational living, guest quarters, an artist's retreat, playroom, or other creative possibilities. Dedicated HVAC and ample attic storage add to its versatility and functionality. Step outside to a backyard oasis perfect for entertaining, highlighted by a sizable, fully plumbed outdoor kitchen with built-in DCS grill/smoker. Gather at the pergola-covered dining table, relax around the fire pit, or simply unwind amid an orchard garden of flowers, herbs, and fruit-bearing fig, apple, cherry, apricot, and citrus trees. A finished, enclosed 1-car garage with epoxy floors, an EV-ready outlet and smart door control, additional private driveway parking, dual smart HVAC systems, full security and surveillance, and a beautifully landscaped front yard add to the home's extensive list of features. Nestled on a quiet street close to Mar Vista's popular shops and restaurants, with downtown Venice, Santa Monica, and Culver City also nearby, this exceptional home blends privacy, versatility, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
