This original mid-century modern Venice compound was designed circa 1947 by "Construction Man of the Year" Ray A. Myers of the Myers Bros., the renowned early 20th-century architectural firm heralded by the Los Angeles Times as the "Builders of the West." The oversized (5,858 sq. ft.) lot is located in the trendy, yet peaceful East of Lincoln neighborhood of Venice, just blocks to hip & happening Abbot Kinney Blvd. Gated for privacy, this beachy retreat is drenched in lovely, natural light and features a living room with a chic decorative fireplace, formal dining room, charming vintage kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and three spacious bedrooms including a tranquil primary with easy outdoor access through a pair of custom sliders. Refinished hardwood floors throughout, laundry room, central air and heat, plus a large updated full bath with stylish Philippe Starck fixtures, and much more. A versatile bonus space has been converted to a wonderful artist's studio with a gorgeous open beam ceiling. Multiple French doors open to the beautifully landscaped, drought-tolerant backyard. It's an absolute outdoor oasis and entertainers dream that includes a great pergola, an orange Preway outdoor fireplace, an enclosed open-air shower, and organic whiskey barrel planting beds perfect for growing your favorite veggies.
