Welcome to your own private and secure compound in the heart of Venice. This fully gated 2 bed / 2 bath home sits on a corner lot just a short bike ride to the beach and a quick walk to Abbot Kinney, Washington Blvd, and Lincoln shops. Upon entering the gate you’ll be transported to a tranquil secret garden before entering the home. Enjoy the sound of a fountain trickling into the pond as you soak in the thoughtfully designed landscaping (that requires little to no maintenance). As you walk along the stone path you’ll be tempted to lounge on the deck and take in the fresh breeze before stepping into the house itself. Automated landscape lighting brings the space to life at night, perfect for entertaining. Inside, 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, custom tile backsplash, and ample cabinet storage. Both bedrooms are spacious and filled with natural light. Enjoy modern, upgraded appliances. In-unit laundry included (washer dryer are brand new).
