Modern Coastal Cottage on the Canal with Two Private Living Spaces. Ideally positioned on a prime interior lot within the iconic Venice Canals, this thoughtfully designed residence blends lifestyle, flexibility, and timeless coastal design in the heart of Venice Beach and Silicon Beach. A private courtyard entry sets the tone, while the attached two-car garage offers a rare level of convenience for canal living. The primary residence is anchored by a light-filled great room with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, featuring bifold doors that open to a private canal-front deck capturing serene water views, natural light, and a sense of openness and tranquility. The layout includes 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with two ensuite bedrooms and a guest powder room, and a kitchen appointed with premium Sub-Zero, Viking, and Bosch appliances. The secondary residence offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, indoor laundry, vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and efficient three-zone mini-split systems, creating a comfortable and fully independent living space. Extensively upgraded over a three-year period, the property features new water heaters, electrical, plumbing, structural components, roofing, and windows, along with a 200-amp panel upgrade to be completed prior to close of escrow—delivering the feel and performance of virtually new construction. Rarely does a property combine this level of charm, quality, and versatility—equally suited as a primary residence, multigenerational compound, refined coastal retreat, or high-demand investment with income potential, all just moments from the beach, Abbot Kinney, and the best of Venice living.
