12909 Ida Ave WELCOME TO THE JUNGALOW! First time on the market since 1997, this one-of-a-kind ZEN beachinspired compound is a rare find anywhere! Especially adjacent to Marina Del Rey, one of LA's most desirable neighborhoods. You don't come across this sense of privacy, spaciousness, community, and soulful indoor-outdoor living everyday. The home (on a southern facing corner lot) retains its original hardwood floors while blending seamlessly with thoughtful modern upgrades: sky lights, solar tubes, recessed lighting, central A/C and heating, upgraded electrical, new main gas line, newer roof (2007), tankless water heaters, and a Nest thermostat. The bathrooms have all been upgraded, including a primary bathroom with a built-in jacuzzi tub, creating a spa-like retreat. The den/play room is equipped with a sleeping loft and french doors which open to the back yard. The upgraded kitchen opens beautifully to the outdoors, while a wraparound backyard deck and eco-friendly artificial turf (green year-round and perfect for kids and pets) make entertaining and everyday living a joy.Designed in a horseshoe layout, the multiple structures maximize usable outdoor space and create an effortless flow between the home, backyard, and all additional living areas, an absolute epitome of indoor/outdoor Westside living. The outdoor spaces are nothing short of magical. A large open-air living room (with a living roof), lovingly referred to as "The Dojo", features a working fireplace, electricity, and overhead pendant lighting. Inspired by Southeast Asian pagodas and Central American palapas, it was thoughtfully built in 2004 to withstand SoCal winters and has never been affected by rain.Adding incredible flexibility are two detached structures: An outside studio with soaring ceilings, large closets and additional storage, skylight, and expansive Milgard glass windows and sliding doors, ideal for creative work, fitness, or quiet retreat. AND a full guest house/ADU complete with kitchenette, living room, spacious primary bedroom, bathroom with walk-in shower, its own tankless water heater, and wide pocket doors designed for wheelchair access and adaptive lifestyles.The lush front yard features decomposed granite, pavers, mature fruit trees and vines, and raised vegetable beds, with all-day southern-facing light, makes this a gardener's paradise. Another perk is the permit-only street parking which enhances peace of mind and guest parking.Perfectly positioned, the neighborhood is known for its wonderful neighbors, strong sense of community, schools and safety. It is moments away from parks, dining, grocery and health food stores, movie theaters, and elementary, middle, and high schools, a rare convenience for families. AND when the ocean calls, it's an easy and quick trip to the beach for sunset.This is not just a home, it's a lifestyle compound that blends a global sensibility, privacy, sustainability, and community in one of Los Angeles' most sought-after neighborhoods.
