Casa Amor De La Vida: OceanView Estate with Ample Privacy in Gated Community

Welcome home to Casa Amor de La Vida, one of the best ocean view properties in the Miramar neighborhood of the prestigious gated community of Mar Vista! Located on 1 1/4 acres, this amazing ocean-view compound features a main house with four bedrooms and large flex room, a stand-alone studio casita, abundant outdoor covered space, and lush gardens that seem to go on forever. Fully remodeled in 2023, this home not only has the best layout of all the homes in the neighborhood, but it also has some of prettiest views of the ocean (uniquely framed by mature gardens) and has the most privacy of any home in the area.

Casa Amor makes an amazing first impression as its guests are greeted by a custom-made wrought iron automatic entry gate; a pavered driveway that leads to a steel archway with color-controlled exterior lighting; and a windowed main entry door that allows visitors to see the stunning ocean views before they even walk into the home! Upon entry, you are immediately met with jaw dropping views of the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful Loros Island, and the white sands of Conchal Beach. What’s more, you can see no other neighborhood homes from this property, giving the feeling that you are truly immersed with nature.

The main living area features professional decor and soaring vaulted ceilings with white-washed teak wooden beams. This dramatic space opens beautifully to the dining area and, in turn, to the large chef’s kitchen. This chef’s dream comes complete with an oversized island with breakfast bar for four; a large pantry; striking quartz countertops; two-toned cabinets; a backsplash made from pristine white subway tile with floating shelves; a gas stove with an old-world charm vent; and brand-new VIKING brand appliances throughout. Simply put, there is nothing but the best in this home.

This space also opens via sliding glass doors to a covered outdoor entertaining area with additional dining for 6, grand teak lounge furniture, tremendous ocean views, and an oversized 60-foot, tri-level infinity edge pool with hints of striking reflective tiles that seek to mimic the stars at night.

The principal bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and features ocean views, sliding glass doors to the pool and outdoor lounge area, and an en-suite bathroom with his-and-her rain showers, dual vanities, and a custom teak bench that all combine to give a spa-like experience every day. The second bedroom features sliding doors to the pool and garden, ocean views, and an en-suite bathroom with oversized shower.

The second level of this home is a showstopper! Featuring a large flex space with outstanding ocean views, covered terraces, a half bathroom and the potential for a full kitchenette, this space is perfect for a playroom, separate family room, home office, or workout space. This space is connected by a gorgeous glass enclosure that leads to two extra-large bedrooms, each having their own private balconies and oversized windows with ocean and/or nature views, and which are connected by a smart jack-and-jill design bathroom.

There is also a very private guest house on this property immersed in the gardens, which comes complete with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows, bamboo floors, a workout space, a living/movie room with an 85-inch flat screen TV, a custom made writing desk in front of a large picture window, a full kitchenette with fashionable emerald green cabinets, and an en-suite bathroom featuring a rain shower with a large window enveloped in a lovely mango tree. The space also has its own covered outdoor space with hanging chairs and lounge furniture, giving yet another amazing space to entertain guests.

Other attributes of the home include a two-car carport, outside storage units, a state-of-the-art water filtration system with UV filters, reverse osmosis and water softener, a fully fenced in property, an 8-zone application-controlled irrigation system, and mature gardens that were painstakingly planted and cared for for years for the new owner to enjoy.
