We see a lot of mid-century-inspired homes, but few go as far as to actually source original furnishings from the era, and it's all the better for it. Enter through the garden and step into one of a trio of sitting rooms. All possess their own retro charm with a mixture of bold colours and tactile fabrics. One seating area leads straight into another as you delve further into the house and into the kitchen with its sunny yellow cabinets and refurbished ranger cooker. From here, enjoy direct access to the patio and guest house. This additional space is where you'll find a stylish third sitting room (with a comfortable daybed), a bathroom and a fabulous rooftop terrace that's perfect for alfresco dining with a view over the neighbourhood. Upstairs in the main house, there are three generously sized bedrooms. The master suite even boasts a roll-top bath beside the bed, as well as a geometric-tiled en-suite with a shower. Explore the neighbourhood and you'll find yourself sandwiched between Venice's beach and iconic canals. Both are only a hundred yards or so from your front door. Slightly further afield, you're just a fifteen-minute walk from bustling Abbot Kinney Boulevard and a few miles from Santa Monica's historic pier. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
