About this home

Adorable duplex situated in the coveted north of Rose (NoRo) Venice neighborhood and moments away from incredible restaurants, shopping, Santa Monica's Main Street, Abbot Kinney, and the beach. Originally built in 1941 and lovingly restored throughout the years, each unit features its own private entrance, gorgeous original oak flooring, spacious living room, dine-in kitchen, sunlit bedroom, updated bath, and laundry. The front unit receives the most beautiful natural light and has a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow with a private deck off the living room. The back unit has raised ceilings with skylights, clerestory windows, and a generous backyard that's perfect for entertaining. The garage has been converted to a dreamy bonus room and has already been plumbed- it only requires permitting to make it a great ADU. There's a ton of potential here: live in one and rent out the other unit, or use both as income producing (previous income, not incl. the garage/ADU area, was just under 10k per month), or build your dream home as many are doing in this prime location just minutes away from the sand.
