Description
232 Howland Canal is a beautifully updated and recently remodeled Venice Canal retreat offering a rare blend of timeless character, modern comfort, and exceptional versatility in one of Los Angeles' most coveted waterfront neighborhoods. Tucked along a quiet stretch of the iconic Venice Canals with virtually no through traffic, the property enjoys remarkable privacy and a peaceful setting that feels like a world of its own, while remaining just moments from Abbot Kinney, the beach, and Venice's renowned restaurants, boutiques, and vibrant coastal lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed, the property features a detached guest studio separated from the main residence by a beautifully landscaped private patio, creating an intimate outdoor retreat while offering an ideal balance of connection and independence. Whether used for guests, a private office, creative pursuits, or income potential, the detached space adds exceptional flexibility to an already unique offering. Designed to embrace effortless indoor-outdoor living, tranquil outdoor spaces and picturesque canal views create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and inspiring, making it an ideal full-time residence, weekend retreat, or investment opportunity. Delivered vacant and not subject to historic restrictions, this is a rare opportunity for end-users, investors, or developers to own a truly special property in one of the most desirable and iconic waterfront communities in Southern California.
