Set along the tranquil canals of Marina del Rey, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 5-bath residence offers a rare blend of old-world villa charm and modern coastal sophistication. Tucked into a private alcove, the home provides a true sense of retreat peaceful and secluded while remaining just moments from the area's best restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and nightlife, all easily accessible on foot yet shielded from thoroughfare traffic. The interior is defined by an expansive open floor plan anchored by a large, light-filled main living space. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout, enhancing the home's warm, refined aesthetic. Architectural details and contemporary finishes come together seamlessly, creating an elegant yet relaxed environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Outdoor living is a highlight of the property. A generous patio overlooks the canals, offering a setting that feels reminiscent of Italy perfect for morning coffee, sunset dining, or hosting guests against the backdrop of shimmering water. In addition to its current appeal, the property offers significant upside: approved Coastal Commission plans are already in place for additions, allowing a future owner to expand and further customize the residence if desired.
