Living spaces

Room by room

Front door open to the Mar Vista living room and the bay beyond

01

Main lounge

The heart of the house: deep linen seating for eight, a gas fireplace and a wall of glass facing the water. The light here is the reason people book a second stay.

Bedroom study nook with desk, television and garden window

02

Study nook

A quiet desk and television set into a garden-facing corner — handy for a morning of remote work or a late film without disturbing the house.

Kitchen bench with black Smeg kettle and toaster

03

Kitchen and dining

A stone island bench, full-size appliances and enough cookware to genuinely cook. The dining table seats eight, with another four at the island.

Covered outdoor deck with long dining table and barbecue

04

The deck

Covered, north-facing and sheltered from the afternoon wind, with a long outdoor table, six-burner barbecue and lounge seating.

Private hot tub on the timber deck at dusk

05

Hot tub terrace

Screened from the neighbours and heated year round, positioned so the view stays with you from the water.
