About This Home
As of May 2012REDUCED!! A stone's throw from the ocean and situated on Main St, this open, airy and gorgeous condo is the best Venice has to offer and will impress the most discriminating of clients. In one of the most sought after buildings in the area, this almost 1,400 sf unit has 2 bedrooms, 2 TOTALLY REDONE bathrooms, an additional open upstairs loft and 3 patios with ocean views. Do we have your attention? The totally updated kitchen opens up into a dining area and living room with hardwood floors, high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. If the short 2 blocks to the ocean is too far, take a dip in the pool or chill out in the hot tub. If you get hungry you're close to some great eating places including the Rose Cafe or Chaya Venice. Abbot Kinney is only a couple streets away. Why bother looking any further. This is Venice living at its best!
