An Architectural Hideaway in Mar Vista, Reimagined with Modern Soul

Tucked away on a serene, tree-lined street in Mar Vista, 12548 Everglade is a rare architectural find that reimagines classic Los Angeles living through a lens of minimalist design and soulful functionality. The residence, composed of a renovated 1940s main house and a striking two-story ADU completed in 2023, offers a seamless balance of elegance, privacy, and innovative indoor-outdoor living.

Set behind tall hedges and a secure gate, the one-story main house embraces a pared-down aesthetic rooted in natural materials and warm simplicity. Douglas Fir–trimmed windows and doors punctuate white plaster walls, filtering sunlight and creating a tranquil rhythm throughout the home. Every detail is considered, from the custom finishes to the layered textures that bring a subtle richness to the interior experience.

The story of this property expands dramatically with its newly constructed ADU, a statement-making two-story structure that’s as thoughtful as it is functional. Designed for entertaining and relaxation, the lower level opens completely to the pool and spa via floor-to-ceiling glass pocket doors, transforming the space into a breezy indoor-outdoor lounge with a full kitchen, cedar sauna, and bath. Upstairs, a private bedroom suite with walk-in closet and full bath serves as a quiet retreat with views over the lush garden and stone pathways below.

Recognized by Architectural Digest Italia for its design-forward approach, this home offers an immersive experience—where architecture, landscape, and light come together to create a calming, connected environment. Whether hosting under the stars by the firepit or unwinding in the cedar sauna after a swim, 12548 Everglade invites residents to slow down and settle into their own perfect setting.

With its intimate feel and refined sensibility, this Mar Vista haven stands out not only as a beautifully crafted residence but as a study in how design can elevate the everyday.

12548 Everglade St. is offered at $2,895,000.
