Built and designed by an aeronautical engineer for himself, this retreat reflects the visionary optimism and design innovation of the post war aerospace industry. As classic, post & beam construction, the main living space opens visually and physically through wide glass walls to a covered landscaped courtyard for dining and lounging. The adjacent dining area joins the kitchen for culinary as well as social conversations amidst fine cabinetry and appliances. The primary bedroom, with its recently renovated bath, opens to the terrace and infrared sauna. Two guest bedrooms are served by another renovated bathroom. Outside is a generous studio/work room sitting in a marvelously curated garden consisting of a fountain; vegetable planters; mulberry, lemon, magnolia and Japanese maple trees; roses, azaleas, camellias and Brazilian lilies. Ceramic flooring, high ceilings, and 2 car carport. A place of home as well as repose in an unbeatable location: moments to the highly coveted Mar Vista Elementary, parks & recreation center, local restaurants & cafes, Whole Foods, and Mar Vista farmers’ market.
