Property Description

This is what you have been looking and waiting for. Here you will find an updated and private Mid-Century Beach Bungalow duplex on a street-to-street lot, delivered completely vacant. Sit back and relax in the Adirondack chairs and feel the ocean breeze as you plan your next outing. Catch the surf or sand of Venice Beach, or dine and shop on Abbot Kinney. Whatever your vibe, this property has it. Each unit features 1 bedroom and 1 bath, and both are bathed in natural light. This property is perfect to completely owner-occupy while you decide on future development plans, or live in one unit and collect income from the other unit, or rent out both units. Perhaps envision converting the duplex into a single-family home (buyer to investigate). Sound interesting? Another idea to meditate on is adding a second story to the home/duplex, which other nearby properties have done to create even more space. The possibilities are endless with this superior offering in the heart of Venice Beach. Wake up each morning and stroll over to Gjusta for coffee or breakfast. Summer weekends are packed with the Venice Art Crawl and, at the end of summer, the Abbot Kinney Festival.
