Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Cathedral ceilings and a kitchen that opens straight onto a palm-lined patio make this Venice house feel built for California living at its most relaxed – evenings here tend to drift between the fire pit, the barbecue, and the string-lit courtyard. The two separate dwellings give larger groups real flexibility without sacrificing that close-together feel. Cruiser bikes are on hand for coasting down to the boardwalk, and Abbot Kinney's boutiques and the Venice Canals are both within easy reach on foot.
