128 Park Place | Venice
Quintessential Venice walk-street jewel box filled with warmth, character and charm at every turn. Tucked behind lush landscaping and hedges by famed landscape designer Jay Griffith, this special Craftsman is just moments from the beach and Abbot Kinney. A private, gated front garden creates a wonderful sense of arrival and an inviting outdoor space for lounging and entertaining. Upon entering, an enclosed front porch lined with windows offers a flexible space for an office, reading room or additional sitting area. Inside, the light-filled 2-bedroom home retains beautiful period details throughout, including hardwood floors, millwork and wainscoting, coffered ceilings, built-ins and a charming brick fireplace. The open kitchen and dining area features soapstone countertops, a farmhouse sink, leaded-glass cabinetry and an upgraded refrigerator and dishwasher, and flows easily into the main living spaces. Two comfortable bedrooms are complemented by a lovely bath with newly updated flooring. A rear deck built by the current owner provides another wonderful spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. Thoughtfully updated while preserving the character that makes these original Venice bungalows so special, all in an incredible walk-street location close to the beach, Abbot Kinney, Main Street and the best of Venice.
