About This Home
As of November 2024Live the quintessential SoCal dream in this west of Lincoln contemporary luxury oasis in the heart of Venice Beach. With over 5,000 sq ft of living space, this stunning 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home boasts clean, minimalist design details. Its unique layout offers a south-facing unobstructed backyard providing sun all day, making the pool an all year event. A basement with endless possibilities, and rare curb cut garage parking (not in the alley). Upon entering the private and secure gated entryway, you are greeted by Swedish cement tile, large Agaves, and thoughtful drought-tolerant landscaping. Throughout the home, hardwood flooring and arched doorways offer a seamless flow suitable for both entertaining and privacy, while the picture windows offer natural light and artfully frame the surrounding beauty. The chef's kitchen includes an island with seating and Michael Anastassiades Flos lighting. The primary bedroom features a fireplace and built-in seating area. Its en-suite bathroom offers a spa-like Zen experience with a steam shower, two shower heads (including one waterfall), a deep soaking tub, and a roomy walk-in primary closet. Three additional bedrooms offer sun-filled spaces, full bathrooms, and recessed lighting. Boundless possibilities await in the expansive basement, providing flexible space for entertaining, a screening room, home office, fitness, yoga, and/or art studio, as well as room for additional guest rooms and a skate park! Offering Venice Beach vibes, the south-facing backyard is an entertainer's dream with a heated pool, spa, gas fire pit, BBQ, playhouse, swing set, sand pit, and slide surrounded by large cacti. The pool has a built-in electric kid-proof industrial cover when not in use. The rooftop deck offers views galore (including the Hollywood sign) and features a fireplace and plenty of seating. Fully furnished with a natural, chic aesthetic, this home comes equipped with Apple TVs, multiple fireplaces, an attached curb cut two-car garage, and ample free street parking right outside the gate. Conveniently located on one of Venice's most sought after streets, a stone's throw from both Rose Ave and Abbot Kinney Blvd, where you'll find some of L.A.'s finest restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops, yet away from the hustle and bustle. With its tasteful and elegant design, this warm and inviting residence offers a serene indoor-outdoor experience that will enchant its owner for a lifetime.
