Westside Architectural Home; Mar Vista

Having recently sold an architectural home in Mar Vista, I know that this is an area that appreciates modern architecture. Here is the newest opportunity to own one in this coveted westside location. Built in 2006 by Bill Tsui, Architect, this is in a desirable location just minutes to the beach. Mar Vista is nice, as one gets a lot more for their money, then in say neighboring Venice, but is in a very close proximity. This is in one of the better parts of Mar Vista as well, and offers a great indoor/outdoor flow to soak in the westside breeze. This property features bamboo wood flooring throughout, a sparkling pool, large windows, and a gourmet kitchen with caeserstone counters and high end appliances. In addition to the wonderful outdoor space, the home also boasts multiple large decks to relax on and smell the clean ocean air. It also has a permitted one bedroom loft style guest apartment in the back, which could be great as an office, when family stays, or even a rental as it has a full kitchen and bath. There are just a handful of modern architectural homes in the area, so when a good one comes up, the buyer's pounce. This just may be that one.

Spanish Compound on Huge Lot Near The Beach

Behind private gates on a arguably the best Mar Vista street is this stunning Spanish Compound on a massive park like lot. The size of the lot in this location is extremely rare, and thus represents a great opportunity to own a ton of land just a mile or so to the ocean. This upgraded home with views wraps around the 19,000 sq. ft lot with a soccer field of flat yard space, a sparkling pool and private spa. The 6,000 square foot home itself appears to be nicely upgraded throughout with a 5 bed/5 bath main house and an additional 1 bed/1 bath guest house, each with it's own kitchen. Loads of character and charm in this 1928 Spanish style home with all of today's modern amenities spread out over a sensational parcel of real estate. Imagine all you and your family could do with all of that outdoor space...

Rare Mid-Century Modern in Mar Vista

I have a listing right down the street from this one, so know this area very well. The "view" streets (ie Mountain View, Ocean View, & Grand View) are arguably the most desirable streets in Mar Vista, and this one lies on my favorite one, Mountain View. It is a custom built mid-century home that has been updated to accommodate modern living. The property has great curb appeal from the front, as it is set up the street courtesy of a inclined driveway. All the walls of glass have French double doors and lead out to relaxing open spaces, and in the front one gets views of the Mountains and city. I recently visited this property, which has been very well maintained, and shows nicely. The floor plan is somewhat choppy if you like wide open spaces is the only slight drawback. This is certainly a fine house in a fine location that is priced pretty well.
