About 3134 Granville Avenue
Welcome to a modern architectural gem nestled at the entrance of a quiet Mar Vista cul-de-sac offering a rare blend of bold design, everyday comfort, and exceptional neighborhood connection. Fully renovated down to the studs in 2018, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home captures the essence of refined Westside living, where clean-lined style meets laid-back sophistication and indoor-outdoor flow is second nature. Located within the highly regarded Mar Vista Elementary School boundary, the home sits in a warm, community-driven neighborhood known for its walkability and welcoming spirit. Just blocks away, you'll find local favorites like The Hive, NY Bagel Deli, Pet Express, Chipotle, salons, and everyday conveniences all within a quarter mile. Venice Boulevard's vibrant shops, farmers market, and restaurants are just over a mile away, with Santa Monica College and the Mar Vista Rec Center nearby for arts, events, and year-round recreational programs for all ages. Set on a coveted corner lot, the home welcomes you with a smooth stucco exterior wrapped in mature greenery. A dramatic double-height foyer makes a lasting impression with soaring ceilings, skylights, and gallery-style energy. Sunlight pours through newer windows and sliders, dancing off hardwood floors and recessed lighting throughout. The living room anchors the front of the home with a sleek decorative fireplace and two-story wood mantle, while French doors open to a fenced-in, grassy front yard with eco-friendly turf perfect for lounging, play, or a spontaneous game of catch. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen pairs beauty with utility featuring a Viking 6-burner range, double farmhouse sink, pot filler, and an expansive L-shaped island with bar seating. A brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher round out the stainless steel suite, while all systems including HVAC, gas, and electrical were updated in 2018. A dedicated dining area connects the kitchen to the adjacent family room, where stacked sliders open wide to a serene, resort-style backyard. Electric roller shades offer both light control and privacy while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. One bedroom and full bath on the main level offer flexibility for guests or a private home office. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms include a bright, tranquil primary suite with walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite featuring a freestanding soaking tub and oversized shower. A private secondary staircase leads to a large guest suite, perfect for an office, lounge, creative studio, or multi-generational living. A dedicated laundry room adds practical convenience to the upper level. The backyard is designed for connection and ease. A deep 8.5-foot pool and spa are framed by low-maintenance hardscaping and a generous lounge area ideal for weekend hangouts, impromptu happy hours, or relaxed evenings under the string lights. Mature landscaping and thoughtfully placed trees create a private, peaceful escape. Whether hosting friends or simply unwinding, the seamless indoor-outdoor flow expands the home's usable footprint in all the best ways. The finished two-car garage adds extra versatility with epoxy flake flooring and plenty of storage. With its flexible floor plan, stylish design, and vibrant neighborhood setting, this is a home crafted for connection, comfort, and everyday ease. It's not just a place to live it's where life opens up.
