Beautiful custom-designed bungalow in the heart of Venice by local architecture firm Evan Braun Design. Built in 2007 around two trees in the gated front courtyard, this unique 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home blends Craftsman and Japanese styles, inspired by nature's warmth and tranquility. The home boasts custom glasswork, oversized wood-framed windows, wood-paneled ceilings, and intricate tile & concrete flooring. A built-in daybed enhances the main living space, while a shoji-screened window connects to the kitchen featuring a Wolf range, green soapstone countertops, floating shelves, and a large walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the secondary suite includes a studio/office and bedroom separated by sliding shoji screens, and a hall bath with a clawfoot tub and rain shower head. The primary bedroom offers high ceilings, a balcony, and an open en-suite bathroom with a Japanese seated shower, wooden ofuro soaking tub, and ocean-inspired tile work. Enjoy sunsets and the coastal breeze from the rooftop deck. Additional features include an attached garage, an extra off-street space, and upstairs laundry. Located on a tree-lined walk street, just blocks from Abbot Kinney Blvd, Rose Ave, the Venice Canals, and the beach!
