Quiet, Mid-Century Modern Townhome in Los Angeles near Pacific and UCLA

Description

Enjoy an academic retreat in the City of Angels in this wonderful, two-story Mid-century Modern townhome, with newly remodeled kitchen, sunlit patio (with private entrance to dedicated covered carport), original exposed ceiling beams, pool + hot tub, in-unit washer and dryer, ample closet space, and office with view of palm trees (office can also double as second bedroom). Located in Mar Vista, nestled between Venice and Culver City, this condo is in a private, gated community, two blocks from the famous Sunday Mar Vista Farmers' Market, and walking distance to some of the most popular restaurants and markets on the Westside. Bus or drive to UCLA or the Getty Center in under half an hour; bike to the ocean in twenty minutes. (Location is also convenient to Loyola Marymount, the Getty Villa, LAX, and USC, via the 10 freeway). This townhome is ideal for a solo academic traveler, a couple, or a couple with a child. The community is safe, quiet, and charming, with ample foliage (the condo complex is a former Japanese plant nursery). Convenience, comfort, style, and charm—this is an ideal Los Angeles location. More info: This airy, elegant 841 sq ft townhome offers a quiet sanctuary on the Westside of Los Angeles, in the walkable and friendly neighborhood of Mar Vista. Morning light streams onto the patio and softens throughout the day. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and is perfect for the curious cook. The condo is quiet and ideal for writing, reading, an evening spin of the record player, a lazy loll by the pool, or just a night of good rest. The first floor opens on to the living room, with mid-century exposed beams on the ceiling, a kitchen-adjacent dining area that can seat up to four, all of which open onto the modern kitchen, which itself flows toward the patio (where we do most of our dining, given the wonderful weather). The oven and fridge are state-of-the-art; there is also a rice cooker, a tap-on/tap-off sink, and more than enough counter space to pursue an ambitious recipe. Off the living room you will also find a small closet. Upstairs the master bedroom features a queen-size bed and a large closet. Flexible built-in shutters allow you to block out the light at night and adjust to your preference during the day. Afternoon light in the bedroom is especially gorgeous. My home office faces east and receives the sunrise. It has two desks and a fold-out bed; the second desk can be removed and a larger fold-out installed, if you wish. The office also has a capacious closet. Upstairs also you will find a full bathroom; downstairs has a half-bath, next to the washer and dryer. The complex is protected by an electronic gate on all sides. My condo is one of the few in the complex with a private carport parking space that leads directly onto the patio. The pool and hot tub offer a sense of California fun, and the foliage is splendid. Mar Vista has excellent coffee shops (Menotti’s, Sachi LA, Alana’s), great restaurants (Little Fatty, Lodge Bread, Rasselbock Beer Garden, Taverna Greek, SOBAR noodles) and local markets (Fatty Mart, Rainbow Acres), not to mention the famous Sunday Farmers Market, which draws people from all over LA County . The neighborhood is walkable, safe, and people you pass actually say hi.
