Description
Location, Location, Location! A Dreamy Venice Beach Retreat. 2BD/1BA + 324 sq ft. 1 BD/1BA guest house (unpermitted), fully renovated. Just a sun-warmed stroll from the sands of Venice Beach, Erewhon, Gjelina, Abbot Kinney, and the Venice Canals. This completely reimagined 1940s bungalow is the kind of place that makes you want to stay forever. Tucked away off Oakwood Park in one of LA's most beloved neighborhoods and friendliest family-focused communities, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom gem plus a charming detached guest house is equal parts laid-back California cool and thoughtfully curated home. Step onto the covered front porch and feel the day slow down. Whether you're sipping morning coffee as the marine layer rolls in or watching the neighborhood come alive in the golden hour, the ideal spot to enjoy the stunning sunsets. This porch sets the tone for everything this home offers. Out front, a cozy seating area invites lingering conversations under the stars, the kind of nights Venice was made for. Stepping inside, a full 2022 renovation brought everything fresh and bright with a modern Scandinavian aesthetic - brand new custom-designed oak kitchen, custom quartz countertops, premium Samsung appliances, white oak floors throughout, new bathroom with Kohler rain shower, deep Hydrospa soaking tub, and Japanese porcelain tiles. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area flows together beautifully at the front of the home, filled with natural light and designed for easy living and effortless entertaining. Behind it, both bedrooms and the full bath are tucked quietly away, giving you a lovely sense of retreat and privacy. Step out back, and you'll find your personal paradise: a generous, freshly landscaped, lush backyard, designed by Jay Griffith, is shaded by swaying palms and eucalyptus trees, where a bubbling hot tub waits to melt away the day. The expansive backyard is fully fenced and secured (with no back alley), providing a peaceful escape and retreat-like feel. There is a huge opportunity and ample room for a substantial expansion of the primary residence. The large detached guest house adds endless possibilities, think visiting family, a creative studio, rental income, or your own private escape. This structure is perfectly poised and suited for a high-value ADU conversion offering potential for additional rental income in a high-demand area. This is Venice Beach living at its most romantic, walkable, welcoming, and wonderfully alive. Homes like this don't last long.
