    What's special

    Welcome to your own private and secure compound in the heart of Venice. Set on a 4,400 square foot corner lot, this fully gated property features a beautifully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom main home plus a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom modern back house with its own private entrance, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, a home office, or additional living space. Or get creative and consider the potential upside for an owner-user or investor opportunity, subject to buyer due diligence. Upon entering the front gate, you'll be transported to a tranquil secret garden before continuing to the main home. Enjoy the soothing sound of a fountain trickling into the pond as you take in the thoughtfully designed landscaping. A stone pathway leads to a spacious deck, creating the perfect spot to lounge and enjoy the fresh coastal breeze. Automated landscape lighting brings the lush outdoor space to life at night, creating an inviting setting for entertaining. Inside the main home, you'll find a warm and inviting floor plan with hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a cozy brick gas fireplace, and central A/C. The kitchen features stainless steel counters and sink, a custom tile backsplash, and ample cabinet storage. Both bedrooms are filled with natural light. Modern upgraded appliances throughout. Laundry units in both main and back houses. Abundant storage throughout the property. The detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom back house offers an additional private retreat with its own separate entrance. An automatic sliding gate provides secure, dedicated parking with EV charging, while the covered outdoor patio, with built-in seating and storage, creates an additional versatile outdoor living area. There is also a 2 car enclosed garage, also with an EV charger. Just a short bike ride to the beach and within easy reach of Abbot Kinney, Washington Boulevard, and Lincoln Boulevard, this unique Venice property combines privacy, flexibility, indoor-outdoor living, and an unbeatable location.
