It’s rare to find a calm sanctuary in the heart of bustling Venice, but step into this home and you’ll feel the outside world disappear. Through the sliding glass doors there is an explosion of soothing earthy tones, natural materials and endless greenery. The interior is an ode to the cool Californian air – with vast floor-to-ceiling windows, simple wooden furnishings and a sleek black fireplace feature, the outdoor to indoor transition is smooth and easy. Quirky ornaments and bookshelves also add a stylish yet homely ambience. Outside, the garden is an oasis of plants and vegetation that will make your morning coffee on the sun-kissed patio a delight. Ready to start the day? Hop on a bicycle – included in the home – and spin down to the iconic Venice beach, just a twenty-minute 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. With stylish new restaurants and cafés plus fun and quirky independent boutiques, Mar Vista offers plenty of excellent options to eat, drink, shop and explore.
