About This Home

As of November 2021

Spectacular views. This recently remodeled Spanish Mediterranean style home was intricately built atop one of the highest points in the lovely Mar Vista Heights neighborhood. Showcasing breathtaking panoramic views of both the LA and OC skylines, this exquisite home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms throughout the 1,981 square feet of warm living space. With a lavish curb appeal, the front facade and courtyard are layered with Jasmine. Walk into the open floor plan of the spacious living room that extends to the remodeled deck to unveil the scenic 180-degree view where you can relax and watch the sunset. The kitchen, which has white marble countertops, boasts a large island with a cooktop. All of the appliances are Electrolux Icon Series: the cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, oven, and built-in refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen, gaze into the family room where you will find a cozy fireplace and more views. From the foyer, enter into the gorgeous master bedroom which has access to amazing views from the very same deck. The master bathroom has been remodeled to include a walk-in closet. Head downstairs to find the two bedrooms and an updated bathroom. Host your elegant outdoor dinners in the quaint Saltillo covered courtyard that includes an outdoor built-in grill and sink. The remodeled yard has been completely redone with beautiful hardscape and landscaping. And just when you thought it could not get any better, this home introduces itself with a bonus office secluded by French doors that overlook Los Angeles city lights. To note, other amenities include a laundry room, a 2 car garage with custom built stained wooden doors, as well as a new A/C unit. You are only minutes away from the entertainment, shopping, and dining in uptown Whittier.
