Property Description

Nestled within the vibrant and eclectic neighborhood of Venice Beach, discover a unique gem that stands as one of the most captivating and expansive properties in the Silver Triangle. As you step onto the property, you are welcomed into a sprawling double-lot retreat, a secret garden that has been artfully co-designed by world-renowned rosarians, Stephen Scanniello and Tom Carruth. Scaniello celebrated for his work transforming the Cranford Rose Garden and Carruth, The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in Pasadena. Both rosarians have collaborated to curate a botanical paradise of unparalleled beauty. Hidden behind newly constructed stucco, steel, and Ipe privacy walls, flanked by majestic mature pine trees and a soaring Bay Laurel hedge, you'll find over 25 rare and heritage rose varieties, including the breathtaking Perfume Breeze with four columns thoughtfully positioned around a fully renovated hot tub. The garden also boasts graceful Malelucas, providing a private oasis within this corner lot, along with a grand Eucalyptus tree that shades the outdoor kitchen. Privacy is further enhanced by a statuesque Ficus in the rear garden, and numerous mature citrus trees bearing lemons, limes, and tangelos. The interior of this home is equally captivating, with an open and airy floor plan featuring soaring ceilings and skylights. The accordion glass doors spanning the entire length of the house seamlessly connect the indoors to the outdoor patio. The large chef's kitchen is a dream for entertainers, showcasing brand-new, high-end appliances and custom tile work meticulously crafted adds a unique touch. Upstairs, the transformation continues with an all-new floor plan that offers three en-suite bedrooms, each with its own bathtub.
