Welcome to this one-of-a-kind home in the highly desirable Mar Vista Heights neighborhood of Whittier. Offering 2,200+ square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this beautifully upgraded residence features three spacious bedrooms, including two luxurious master suites and three full bathrooms. The open-concept floor plan is perfect for entertaining and everyday living, complemented by newer windows and sliding doors, an upgraded electrical panel and wiring, and recessed LED lighting throughout. Comfort is key with a powerful 4-ton central AC system and an additional mini-split unit in the upstairs master suite. Step outside to a true backyard retreat, highlighted by a custom-built Cantina bar—originally crafted for TruTV’s “Backyard Bar Wars” in 2021—and a stunning, remodeled pool with a pebble tech finish, upgraded spa, new piping, heater, filter, and variable speed pump —all redone within the last 6 years along with the deck and roof. Don’t miss your chance to own this truly unique and turnkey property in one of Whittier’s most sought-after communities.
