About This Property

Behind a hedge-lined perimeter and a set of handsome wooden gates, this meticulously restored 1923 Craftsman unfolds as a rare example of preservation done right. Spanning approximately 1,900 square feet, this 2 bed/1bath residence holds intact a century of character, with updates for modern day living. A stone paved garden path surrounded by lush landscaping leads to the home's striking front entry, where original details immediately take center stage. Inside, sun-filled living spaces showcase the craftsmanship of another era: warm hardwood floors, substantial millwork, coffered ceilings, built-ins, vintage light fixtures, and beautifully preserved wood doors that feel more like pieces of furniture than architectural elements. The restoration of this home was approached with a thoughtful hand, preserving distinctive original features - including period wallpaper, decorative tilework, lighting, and custom woodwork - while investing in the updates that make a meaningful difference. Original windows frame garden views, filling the interiors with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The kitchen features a highly functional layout and has been updated where it counts, with modern appliances including a stainless steel refrigerator, a laundry closet, and ample storage. A generous dining nook practically begs for a banquette to enjoy morning coffee, lingering weekend breakfasts, and dinner parties that stretch well into the evening. Outside, the grounds feel like a privat retreat. A sprawling fenced front yard, wrapped in mature hedges and lush landscaping, creates an uncommon sense of privacy while offering multiple spaces to entertain, garden, dine outdoors, or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon beneath the trees. Just moments from Abbot Kinney, residents can enjoy some of the neighborhood's favorite cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and weekly routines while still returning home to a peaceful, hedge-lined retreat. The Venice Canals, beach, and boardwalk are all nearby, making morning walks, bike rides, and sunset strolls part of one's day to day. For those who appreciate homes with soul, this beautifully preserved Craftsman is a rare find amongst rental offerings today. Come and see for yourself!
