Description:

A romantic picture of charm and tranquility, this gated two-bedroom, one-bath California bungalow demonstrates an artist’s eye for beauty and character. Surrounded by gardens fragrant with roses and lemon blossoms, it is a peaceful retreat minutes from of the art galleries, world-famous restaurants and bohemian boutiques of Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. From the welcoming front porch to the enchanting and very private back yard, every space is filled with harmonious details – huge windows, hardwood floors, wide French doors, and decorative living room fireplace. The kitchen features original details, built-in cabinetry, and wainscoting, and the bath has been redone with period tile and fixtures. Currently a picture-perfect garden hideaway, the former garage could easily serve as an artist’s studio, music room, or writer’s secret getaway. With its patio, mature plantings and fountain it's reminiscent of an English garden, the back yard also offers lovely dining areas that invite leisurely afternoons and relaxed evenings among friends. Large double gates provide access from the alley, zoned LAR2. It's a Venice jewel.
