Property Description

The bohemian spirit of historic Venice lives on in this charming Venice compound, consisting of a sun-filled 2 BR bungalow, along with a 1 BR cottage encircled by an abundance of eclectic garden and outdoor living areas. For decades, the home has been an inspiring setting for a celebrated Venice beat poet and his family of artists. Come wander down the winding garden paths and discover a large sun deck that opens to the main house. The home is warm and inviting, with sun-drenched interiors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, bay windows, and views of lush vegetation everywhere you look. Rounding out the plan are 2 comfortable bedrooms and a den/office with doors leading to another large deck that overlooks a bohemian garden oasis, with flowers, vegetables, and a variety of sitting areas. In the back of the lot is an adorable cottage that features one bedroom, and a sunny kitchen with a vintage O'Keefe and Merrit stove. There are 2 secure parking spaces, accessible from the alley behind the cottage. Great location is close to Abbot Kinney restaurants and shops, the park and Venice Beach. If you're looking for a creative compound, great rental income, or a development opportunity, you're in luck. The property's zoning and large lot size may lend itself to building up to 2 additional dwelling units, or a future subdivision. There are so many possibilities ..... and this place has heart too!
