Situated high above the street in Whittier’s desirable Mar Vista Heights, this mid-century home offers a rare sense of privacy and peaceful hillside living. Built in 1963, the residence features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious 2,053-square-foot open floorplan designed for comfort and flow. Inside, natural light pours into the expansive living and dining area through a full wall of windows that frame peek-a-boo city light views. A stunning stone fireplace with a terrazzo hearth adds warmth and architectural character to the space. The large primary suite is set apart from the other bedrooms, offering a private retreat complete with an ensuite bathroom. The kitchen opens to a cozy family room anchored by a classic corner brick fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere for everyday living or entertaining. Outside, the generous backyard offers endless potential—whether you envision a pool, garden retreat, or possible ADU. Additional highlights include a gated breezeway connecting the home to a three-car garage, mature landscaping with established trees and shrubs, and system upgrades such as copper repiping, an updated electrical panel, newer HVAC system and ductwork, dual pane windows and a 40-year roof. This is a rare opportunity to own a timeless home in one of Whittier’s most coveted neighborhoods, offering space, charm, and incredible potential.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
