Mar Vista Monday: 3544 Beethoven– Mid-Century Modern Tropical Paradise
Somewhere behind all this lush tropical foliage is a very original version of a 1948 Gregory Ain mid-century classic. This home is 3 bedrooms, and 1 bath in 1,210 square feet. This home has some very unique features that are not common in the Mar Vista tract, including the “flared” clerestory windows which create the unusual roofline. There is also a center “bubble” skylight of acrylic. This home has elements that make me think of a greenhouse. Also, the front yard looks like the jungle garden at Huntington Gardens. What a great way to create private space between the sidewalk and your front door. This home sits on a 6,490 square foot lot, and last sold in November 1970 for $31,500. As of January 28th, there are no homes currently for sale in the Mar Vista tract. Give me a call, and we can discuss a strategy for finding a mid-century modern home in Mar Vista.
