Monday, January 28th, 2008

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 [...]

Monday, October 29th, 2007

This may be the most pure example of Gregory Ain’s vision left in the Mar Vista tract. Built in 1948, this 3 bedroom/ 1 bath un-remodeled home is waiting for a buyer to come along. This home last sold in 1971 for a whopping $30,500. The landscaping has degenerated, and the building looks to have [...]

Mar Vista Monday: 3512 Beethoven

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Yet another lovely home on our tour of Mar Vista, is this beauty located at 3512 Beethoven. Because Beethoven is a “cut-through” street, these models have concrete block walls to maintain privacy and reduce street noise. The walls also make photographing them difficult! Anyhow, this home was built by Gregory Ain in 1948, and has [...]

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Check out this great new listing in the Mar Vista tract. Designed by Gregory Ain, the 4 bedroom/ 1.5 bath home is listed at $1,350,000. I really like these houses, and they don’t come on the market often. Someone should snatch it up quickly. As a new feature of homes4hipsters, I am going to start [...]
