Incredible architectural by award-winning Robert Thibodeau of DU Architects, this modern "green" home and guesthouse effortlessly blends the natural landscape with the home itself. Infused in natural light this private and secure home sits amongst mature trees and beautiful outdoor spaces, perfected by top landscape designer, Stefan Hammerschmidt. The main house features an open floor plan highlighted by redwood-paneled ceilings and polished concrete floors creating a natural flow between the living, dining and gourmet kitchen areas. Upstairs 3 generous size bedrooms with white oak hardwood floors create a quiet and private sanctuary in each space. Across from the main house is a complete ADU with living, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom areas, creating the perfect flex space with potential to be a rental, office, guesthouse, or gym. This serene separate space also features wood-paneled high ceilings, white oak floors, HVAC, washer/dryer and top of the line appliances. Other highlights include an outdoor lounge area complete with a firepit, and solar panels for both the main house and ADU. Located on one of the best streets in Venice, along the Rose Avenue Corridor, and a short stroll to the beach and Abbot Kinney, this one-of-a-kind private oasis in the City, will leave you speechless.

About North of
Rose
North of Rose, located between Rose Avenue and Montana Avenue, is a coastal and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with leafy blocks and a low-slung, beach-town streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Montana Avenue near 7th Street, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and small studios keep the street scene in motion. Community pillars include Aero Theatre, Huckleberry Bakery & Cafe, and the Santa Monica Farmers Market. Spanish Revival cottages and mid-century apartments sit beside newer, clean-lined builds, giving the blocks a layered look. Palisades Park’s blufftop paths and Ocean Avenue viewpoints frame daily routines with ocean air. The pace stays calm on side streets, while Montana’s storefronts keep errands and coffee runs close at hand.
