Nestled in Mar Vista, this meticulously designed single-story home was reimagined by Galerie Design + Build. The European contemporary home blends designer finishes with modern functionality, offering an unparalleled sense of tranquility and timeless luxury. The design duo set out to craft a home using natural materials; think plaster walls, marble tile, quartzite countertops, white oak cabinetry, white oak floors, unlacquered brass lighting, and French limestone clad the exterior. These textured neutral surfaces provide a backdrop for statement furniture, designer lighting and artwork. Situated on a gated 9,006 sf lot, the landscaping designer spared no expense creating a private, lush outdoor retreat with a dining deck, sparkling pool and spa, and expansive lawn. Thoughtfully placed greenery, mature trees, a limestone fountain and stone pathways provide a blend of nature meets European refinement. The home boasts 4 oversized bedrooms each with ensuite bath plus an office. Skylights flood the space with natural light while open concept living creates flow between entertaining spaces and the outdoors. The gourmet chef's kitchen features custom solid oak cabinets, polished nickel hardware, Bosch stainless steel range with a panel-ready dishwasher and refrigerator, quartzite countertops, plaster walls, an appliance garage, pantry and spacious island for all your entertaining needs. The impressive primary suite features vaulted ceilings and direct backyard access. The spa-like primary bathroom boasts plaster walls, dual integrated stone sinks, large shower, soaking tub and generous walk-in closet with custom wood built-ins. Comfort is enhanced by dual zoned A/C with smart Nest controls, Sonos indoor and outdoor speakers, laundry room, powder bath, finished garage and the home has been prewired for security cameras. Conveniently located on the Westside with close proximity to parks, restaurants, Mar Vista Farmer's Market, Whole Foods, and within the top-rated Mar Vista Elementary School district.
