Always the contrast of color is more or less lively, and for this reason we must color wholly or in

part every architectural element. - Antoni Gaudi

Sited within a private cul-de-sac in one of the best areas of Mar Vista, this 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom renovated residence blends seamlessly with the eclectic architectural styles of the neighborhood. The open floor plan, with an abundance of natural light and an indoor/outdoor flow, provides the perfect setting for entertaining. The transition between the interiors and the front and rear yards are further complimented by the drought resistant landscaping and water features. Other notable details include: recessed lighting, hardwood flooring, updated plumbing and electrical, fireplace, French doors, double-pane windows and plantation shutters, custom kitchen cabinetry with granite counters, renovated bathrooms with custom cabinetry and natural stone and tile, smooth exterior stucco, electric driveway privacy gate, two car detached garage and an automated drip landscape watering system. 12307 Dewey, and this dynamic area of Mar Vista, represents the best of the Westside.

the gardens maintain their look and function year round.


“ Playfulness and whimsy is clearly represented in the landscape design of 12307 Dewey Street. “The secret to any water-smart garden,” says Margie Grace, “is playfulness. Play with plant textures and beautiful mulches. And keep the plantings undemanding.”

ear Angelenos: Meet Mar Vista: She's Cultured, Creative, and Boasts Buckets of This Little Thing Called Community – excerpts from the Huffington Post by Stacie Krajchir

Mar Vista is a place that’s proud to stand out. The progressive spirit and creativity of the people who live, work and play here has put Mar Vista at the leading edge of culture, entertainment and design. When you mention Los Angeles to people in any other country in the world, immediate references are made to Disneyland, Baywatch, and of course, Hollywood. None of which of really paint an accurate portrait to those of us who actually reside here. I haven't been to see Mickey for over 20 years, Baywatch was never really my thing and I might see the Hollywood sign every now and then on a spectacular Santa Ana condition day from the freeway. Other than that, none of that is my LA. Los Angeles is filled with so many unexplored surprises, and most of these are nestled in what I call pocket neighborhoods here in Los Angeles. Neighborhoods most people have never heard of, because, let's face it, they haven't been named after an Aaron Spelling TV show. When I left the streets of San Francisco behind ten years ago for Lady Los Angeles, I knew I wanted to find that same small town feel San Francisco offered. After a little hood hopping, I landed in a small frontier called Mar Vista. Ironically, I'm always conflicted whether it's a good thing or a disappointing fact when I tell people where I live, and they have that blank stare. No one really knows where Mar Vista is located; apparently, there's not an "App" for that. Here's the lowdown: It snuggles up to the corners of three local towns you might have heard of, Santa Monica (At the Santa Monica Airport), read more
