Multiple offers received and highest bidder did not perform - now 's your chance to snap it up for less than the previously accepted offer! One of the largest lots currently available in 90066! Step back in time to a simpler world when Mar Vista was not as prestigious as… Read More Brentwood or Santa Monica and where a scholarly engineer and special education teacher specifically selected this sensational spot due to it's unusually large lot (9,336 per tax assessor) bordered by 3 sleepy streets (and featuring dual site addresses 11359 Biona and 11358 McCune) allowing them to customize this sprawling storybook traditional to their uniquely beautiful taste. Brick hardscape, perfectly patinaed wrought iron gates, and mature specimen trees frame the gracious curb appeal and add intrigue to the unassuming residence superbly situated above street level for maximum privacy. Open the handcrafted front door and enter the sizable living room anchored by a sandstone fireplace and punctuated by open truss ceilings, warm wood floors and large picture windows bathing the interiors with natural light, while the adjacent formal dining room with a built-in china cabinet is truly the heart of the home. Magnificent mauve and flamingo metal cabinetry highlights the avant garde kitchen that is retro chic along with period wallpaper and a stainless Sub Zero refrigerator, Kitchen Aid convection oven, built-in wok, warming drawer, commercial exhaust hood, and dishwasher round out the appliance package. Breathtakingly beautiful, the surreal solarium will surround your senses with sunshine and serenity year-round making it a stylish and sophisticated space for a gym, greenhouse, playroom, creative studio, etc., and opens to the wood-paneled family room lined with a row of bookcases, snazzy chandelier and featuring a private courtyard patio presenting with a plethora of plants and citrus trees. 3 spacious bedrooms with substantial closets are scattered throughout the swanky floorplan and supplement the superior square footage, while the caretaker's wing features a service porch, laundry area, surprisingly large pantry, and maid's room. Out back, the sagacious owners selected the skillful Ko Endo Landscape team to create a soulful Japanese silhouette of the sweeping grounds by sourcing organic materials like stunning stones and special shrubs like Black Pine bonsai and towering bamboo to complement the inground spa and soothing koi pond with waterfall. An extra-large accessory structure that is currently being used as a 2-car garage with separate storage room is an excellent footprint for an ADU and adds to the splendor. Strictly sold "as-is" without credit or repairs, the serious sellers suspect that smart buyers might want to reconfigure and salvage a significant chunk of their storied compound but are also not shy about the fact that shrewd builders might want smash it to smithereens and use SB9 or SB1123 to subdivide the parcel and construct several units. Potential southern facing city views from a second story, too. If you're into the philosophy of "Wabi Sabi," make sure to sus this one out by saving this on your smartphone and sending your sales agent an SMS -or- see it for before it sells quickly! Simply irresistible and a savory treat for those with a savvy vision. Read Less
