hallmarks include clean lines, clerestory windows, and walls of glass. Built-ins, cabinet pulls, windows, and other original features of the three-bedroom, two-bath home have been preserved alongside updates that include quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen and bamboo floors throughout. The galley kitchen, just inside the front door, is open to the living room over a built-in dining table.
The L-shaped backyard is an organized collection of concrete patios for relaxing and dining and a rectangular stretch of turf flanked by expanses of pea gravel. It is shaded by mature trees, including a large redwood, and enclosed by bamboo and olive trees.
It’s not often that one of Ain’s “modernique” homes comes up for sale, and they tend to get snatched up quickly. Indeed, only four of the Ain-designed homes in the Mar Vista tract have changed hands over the last three years, most recently this summer when one of them traded for almost $2.5 million.
And, indeed, records show that this house, listed with Brian Linder of Compass, already has a contingent offer less than two weeks after it was first listed.
