LOCALLA

A Craftsman Restored With Reverence Just Off Abbot Kinney. Set on one of Venice's most coveted streets, steps from the boutiques, bistros, and coffee bars of Abbot Kinney Boulevard, this two-story 1921 Craftsman has been meticulously restored to honor its early-century soul while quietly meeting the standards of modern coastal living. The palm-shaded front porch which once looked out over one of Venice's original canals remains the home's signature, an unhurried perch for morning coffee, ocean breezes, and the easy choreography of the neighborhood passing by .Inside, the home tells its story through craftsmanship: rich hardwood floors, a vinyl bar, original doors, window sashes, and built-ins, all preserved with the kind of patina that can't be manufactured. The kitchen touts, Viking and Jenn-Air appliances, polished nickel fittings that opens seamlessly to a redwood deck and stone patio designed for al fresco dinners under the California sky or a Sauna/Cold Plunge session with friends. Upstairs, the primary suite is a quiet retreat: vaulted ceiling, dedicated dressing room, and a spa-caliber bath with separate shower and a freestanding claw-foot tub. Polished nickel finishes carry through, tying the home's design language together with restraint and intention. A one-car garage plus an additional off-street parking space a rare and meaningful detail this close to Abbot Kinney. This is Venice as it was always meant to be lived: historic bones, modern comforts, and a front porch built for the ocean breeze.
