Welcome home to this enchanted house with garden cottage, in the heart of Mar Vista! Truly the most whimsical property, offering a lush and peaceful setting to own your dream home on the West Side. This dwelling offers versatility to suit your unique lifestyle. The new owner could simultaneously dwell in, and earn passive rental income from, this lightly subdivided home - and possibly create a 3 unit property. (Buyer to verify with the city). Currently, 2 sealed doors divide the 1930's classic single family bungalow from the addition built in the mid 80's into 2 fully separate front and rear1 BR/1BA apartments. The prior 'Spa' area was converted to the rear unit's kitchen space opening to a lovely deck, perfect for dining al fresco in your abundant backyard with fruit trees and garden beds galore! Or recreate the original vision of a 3 BR/2BA home with an oversized master bedroom ensuite retreat with vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, walk-in closet and enclosed spa bath. The garage/ADU cottage conversion is a potential 1BR/1BA private unit, home office, or detached guest bedroom. The possibilities are truly endless and remarkable in this lovely home just walking distance to the local farmers market, restaurants, shops and award winning schools. Being sold "as is".
