Fully furnished and available for short term (2 to 6 months). Located very close to the ocean and offering all the charm you’d expect from its history and location, this rare 1908 Craftsman compound exudes a truly transcendent, magical air. Nestled a mere half block from the beach on a beautiful tree-lined street, it offers a meticulously restored 4 bed/3.5 bath main house (single and guest unit not a part of this lease). As you enter through a gate into the landscaped front yard featuring flowering hibiscus and lemon trees, you’re welcomed by an inviting porch and grand foyer. The generous living room opens to a sunroom and deck overlooking the yard, perfect for enjoying California weather while dining al fresco. Original fixtures and finishes throughout the home include Douglas fir and red oak flooring, stained glass cabinetry, vintage lighting elements, wainscoting, and a white brick fireplace. The kitchen features stainless appliances, updated plumbing and electrical systems, a newer roof, and restored vintage windows, doors, and fixtures. This spectacular property also offers a formal dining room, front deck, and yard with an ornamental pond and flagstone patio. A true gem from the early days of Venice, the home has been beautifully restored for the lover of classic and elegant coastal living, embodying the iconic Venice lifestyle just moments from Abbot Kinney.
