Make yourself at home in this serene, 4-bedroom house in laid-back Mar Vista – just a five-minute drive from Santa Monica Airport. This desirable neighbourhood is packed with cafés and shops down the tree-lined streets and is one of the more tranquil of LA’s suburbs – ideal for families. Recently built, the home itself features Scandi-chic contemporary design and plenty of modern comforts. Open the sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors and let the outdoor terrace and indoor living room become one space. Kids can frolic in their own playroom, with its library of picture books, or jump on the trampoline or splash in the pool in the yard. Enjoy grilling on the barbecue and gathering the whole family around the fire pit for a cosy dinner. At the end of the day you can relax and arrange a massage in the comfort of your own bedroom, while a private chef prepares a meal for you in the sleek kitchen. The bustling boardwalk and sweeping sands of Venice Beach is just a short bike or scooter ride away.

About Mar Vista
Wedged between Venice and Culver City, Mar Vista has previously been a relatively sleepy neighbourhood that many Angelinos would have had a hard time placing without a map, but that’s all changing and fast.
