544 Grand Blvd, Venice, CA 90291

Hello, I'm 544 and 546 Grand Blvd, a 1947 Venice duplex bungalow BACK ON MARKET with the kind of charm that gets complimented at brunch. Classic exterior, confident interior, and just enough personality to keep things interesting. Think: "I'm adorable," but with income. Stats, because I know you're going to ask: attached duplex-style bungalow with two units 2 x 1 bed / 1 bath. Please note: 544 is not like the floor plan showing 2 bedrooms. The property totals 1,473 sq ft on a 4,500 sq ft lot. Detached 2-car garage, with one unit used by 546 and the other used by the owner. In-unit washer/dryer, because Venice laundry missions are not a lifestyle. 546 owns and maintains their own appliances. Inside? Livable, functional, not fully updated 544 was renovated in 2019; 546 was not. I'm not "fresh off a design show." I'm the honest, slightly scruffy, wildly promising type, with room to improve and upside to unlock. Location? Quiet, walkable Venice pocket near Abbot Kinney and Windward Circle. Close to The Butcher's Daughter, Great White, Erewhon, Venice Farmers Market, Costco, and caffeine lifelines like Blue Bottle, Intelligentsia, and Levain. Beach, bike paths, parks? Yes. Sunshine? Included. Important Notes Timing and market conditions are creating an opportunity for the right buyer. Sorry, no tours available; drive-by only at this stage. No interior showings until offer accepted, subject to inspection. Photos are honest, and again, please note: unit 544 is 1 bedroom, not 2. Upside? ADU plans may be possible. Owner was previously working with an architect on plans for an ADU above the garage; however, no documents are available to share. Buyers should factor this in and complete their own due diligence. Seller Terms / Pricing Update: Previously in multiple offers. Fell out of escrow. Now first-come, first-served. Owner previously tried to Ellis Act the property, which may be possible for a new owner but was not for them. Price reflects prior offer activity, demand, short sale positioning, and ADU/architectural potential. We have twice been in or near escrow well over this asking price. If accepted at or near this price, buyer should be prepared for a longer escrow timeline due to the U.S. Bank short sale approval process. If you can recognize a rare Venice opportunity hiding in plain sight, this is your moment. Bring your vision, bring your patience, bring your offer, and come claim a duplex bungalow that is equal parts charm, location, and upside before someone else realizes what you just realized.
