Tucked along a quiet residential street on Mar Vista Hill, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home presents an excellent opportunity to get into one of the Westside's most desirable neighborhoods and make it your own. Spanning approximately 2,600 square feet on a generously sized lot, the home features a flexible split-level layout with spacious living areas and strong underlying bones. A gated front yard framed by mature palms creates a welcoming sense of privacy. Inside, wide-plank floors, recessed lighting, and large windows bring natural light into the main living spaces. The living room with fireplace flows into a formal dining room, while the kitchen and adjacent family room open directly to the backyard through French doors, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a generous footprint with a walk-in closet, private balcony, and an ensuite bath with soaking tub and separate shower. Additional bedrooms provide flexible space for family, guests, or a home office. Originally remodeled in 2011, the home offers a great opportunity for the next owner to update and customize while enjoying a spacious floor plan in a highly sought-after neighborhood where many surrounding homes command significantly higher values. The private backyard features a large patio surrounded by mature landscaping, ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sunshine. A detached two-car garage and driveway provide ample off-street parking. Conveniently located near the shops and restaurants of Mar Vista and just minutes from Venice, Santa Monica, and Culver City, this property offers the chance to create something special in one of the Westside's most established residential neighborhoods.
