Description
Life feels a little different on the Venice Canals. Set directly on the water, this south-facing 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers more than 2,400 square feet of living space and a rare opportunity to experience one of Los Angeles' most distinctive neighborhoods from your own front door. The canal is the backdrop to everyday life here. French doors open from the living room to a generous waterfront patio with room to dine, entertain, or settle in beside the water as boats pass by. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light, while arched openings, wood floors, fireplaces, and architectural details give the interiors a warmth and character that feel right at home in this historic setting. Upstairs, the primary suite takes full advantage of the location, with a fireplace, canal views and French doors opening to a private balcony overlooking the water. Two additional bedrooms offer space for guests, family or a home office, while a rooftop deck provides another outdoor retreat with views across Venice. And for all the romance of living on the canals, the house is remarkably practical. A private two-car garage with direct entry makes coming and going easy, while Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach, Marina del Rey and the restaurants, shops and cafs of Venice are all close by. Outside, the landscaped canal paths, iconic footbridges and water create a setting unlike almost anywhere else in Los Angeles. Morning coffee by the canal, dinner on the patio, sunsets from the rooftopat 409 Howland Canal, the best part of Venice isn't somewhere you go. It's home.
