In Venice’s Golden Triangle, behind a walled lush floral courtyard, lies a reimagined & serene storybook Spanish compound wrapped in cascading 100 y.o. bougainvillea. Charming at first glance, & far more expansive than one would expect with a large detached guest retreat & its own entrance, parking & outdoor living.Step through the entry gate & into your city escape—it is all at once inviting, tranquil, private, welcoming. One would never know you were mere steps from the bustle of Abbot Kinney. Inside, the main residence opens in an altogether unanticipated way—high barrel-vaulted ceilings, a dramatic 10’ arched picture window & hand-hewn doors spanning the entire length of the home—enhancing the already open floorplan by creating easy outdoor flow from every angle & an unusually bright, breezy & wide open villa.
The residence has been completely reimagined by a renowned designer, re-establishing & preserving its authentic Spanish character, while elevating every detail—imported tile, hand-blown glass fixtures, rich espresso hardwood floors, oil rubbed bronze finishes, a sublime chef’s kitchen & spa-inspired baths with walk-in rain showers & deep soaker tub.
The over 4,000 sq. ft. lot continues to deliver when encountering a surprising series of outdoor environments—a romantic dining pavilion framed by billowing sheer curtains, a zen courtyard with fountain, firepit, & twinkle-lit ambiance, versatile turf lawn for putting & its west facing views of cotton candy hues at sunset. At the rear, the detached studio with private entrance & parking offers a striking extension of the property, designed as a fully independent creative environment, guest retreat or entertainer's hub. Featuring soaring 2-story ceilings, a sleeping mezzanine, fireplace, kitchen, & bath, the space is both architecturally compelling & highly functional.
At dusk, the property transforms into a softly illuminated Spanish retreat, where glowing architectural windows, layered landscape lighting, & fire feature create a cinematic evening atmosphere throughout.
Set within one of Venice’s unexpectedly quiet & walkable pockets with larger lots & easier parking. Just one block from Abbot Kinney, Washington’s restaurant row, & a quick pedal to the beach, marina, farmer’s market & all that this community centric neighborhood has to offer. Conveniently located near LAX & the Campus at Playa Vista.
Stanford draws you in with its charm & flexibility…Once you’re here, it’s hard to leave!
