Luxury Live Auction! Bidding to start from $1,999,000! Don't miss out on this incredible and rare opportunity! This vintage charmer, located in the coveted "Oval" district of Mar Vista (aka "Marcasel Estates"), is close to everything Los Angeles has to offer and could be a welcome retreat, a chance to create a family compound or the perfect spot to build the home of your dreams. This beautiful neighborhood has a long and rich history dating back to the late 1800's and features wide, quiet streets, unusually large lots and is centrally located - close to Marina del Rey , Santa Monica, LAX and beautiful beaches up and down the coast. It also allows for easy access to the San Fernando Valley, mid-city, Downtown LA and beyond. The home is a sophisticated blend of traditional warmth and modern vibes and is enveloped by an expansive lot featuring native and drought tolerant landscaping, a large, relaxing pool and a cozy cabana hang out area with a wood burning fireplace. Palm trees, giant birds of paradise, banana trees, fruit-bearing apple trees, crepe myrtle trees and a beautiful and mature magnolia tree provide cover, shade, privacy and protection from the city around you - in day or night it's easy to feel you've been transported to a tropical paradise. The rear of the property has a huge open space with alley access, RV parking and all the lemons, tangerines and avocados you can eat. The home offers original hardwood floors and upgrades throughout, including a new electrical panel, EV charger, newer forced air heating system and ceiling fans in nearly every room to push the ocean breeze around when summer comes calling. The original woodburning fireplace has been converted to gas with ceramic logs that makes a cozy fire in the living room an everyday occurrence and there's even a custom-built, outdoor, everyday-use IPE wood shower and deck just off the primary bedroom. In addition, this property may have a value-add opportunity under SB 9 The California Home Act (buyer to investigate). So much space, so much versatility, so much charm!
