Ten steps to the sand on the Marina del Rey Peninsula, with an oversized private two-car garage and a large ocean-view deck: this is the version of beach living most people never get to buy. Set in a quiet three-unit building with ground-level entry and no steps from the street, this remodeled townhome offers 1,563 square feet across a layout designed around light. The two-story great room takes sun from multiple directions, with the loft perched above and the living, dining and kitchen spaces flowing together. The kitchen anchors the room: stone counters, stainless Viking appliances, custom wood cabinetry and a large seated bar. Bamboo and hardwood floors throughout, a fireplace in the living room, and a private patio just off it. Both bedrooms are en suite. The primary is a retreat with exceptional light, ample closets and an all-white remodeled bath with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a tub-shower combination and generous closet space of its own. Upstairs, the loft serves as a home office or guest space, with a bath beside it and a private balcony with canal views: a good spot to steal away for coffee or for work. The garage is the piece buyers on the Peninsula almost never find: private, secured, side-by-side parking for two, with room left for boards, bikes and beach gear, plus laundry and storage. Walk directly from the garage into the house. The building's shared ocean-view deck is a perfect place to enjoy dinner with friends, enjoying the sunset views over the water. Direct beach access at the end of the block, Mother's Beach and the main channel minutes away, and Washington Boulevard dining, the Venice canals and Abbot Kinney a short walk or ride. LAX in about fifteen minutes.
