How many people do you know who live in Venice and have a pool? We'll wait. Still thinking? Well, this chic oasis in the heart of Venice Beach has one. There's even an ADU (with the home's third bed/bath) for the overbearing in-laws visiting from New York, that annoying roommate you just need a little bit of extra space from, or even *cha-ching* additional income! And yes, we are just getting started with this one. Secluded behind a privacy wall of rich warm wood contrasting with a dark charcoal gate, this beautifully reimagined contemporary retreat is textbook Venice aspiration. The sleek, front stoop is not only an environmentally responsible setting for drought-tolerant flora, but has a quintessential lounging deck for creative pondering and dining al-fresco under the soothing California skies. Inside, an oversized skylight washes the living room in natural light, with its textured stone fireplace and plush window bay nook. The kitchen displays an expert use of mixed material and tone, with open shelving, center island, L-shaped breakfast bar with waterfall edge, wine refrigerator, and butcher-block center island adorned in decorative tile. Bedrooms optimize space with barn doors, and bathrooms are dressed in large glossy statement tile for added pop. Sliding glass doors lead to the enchanting backyard, every inch curated for entertaining with a covered outdoor dining room, plenty of space to relax, and newly installed soaking pool and spa. Lush green vines climb the ADU, equipped with mini kitchenette, third bedroom, and three-quarter bath. This is it. Stop that seemingly endless search for the perfect house. You found it. Walking distance to Abbot Kinney and all of the shops and restaurants. Personally, I'm more of an impulse-buy-at-Buck Mason and saunter-into-Felix-for-an-early-walk-in-dinner kind of person. Who will you be? Welcome to Venice. The neighborhood is your oyster!
