My staging company, The Eastside Staging Company, headed west – about as far west as we can go in U-Haul truck, and staged this 3 bedroom Spanish-style beauty in Venice Beach, just a few blocks to the ocean, and just steps to both Abbot Kinney Boulevard and the great Broadway Elementary School.
The first thing you will notice about this amazing property is that it’s totally hidden from the street behind tall hedges with a secure entry gate. So, you are offered an excellent sense of privacy right from the jump.
The front yard is nicely landscaped with drought tolerant plants and trees. You’ll love this wonderful front porch with its stylish pergola and Spanish tiles. It’s a great spot for enjoying the evening’s ocean breezes.
Inside, you’ll find an open layout with a lovely living room that has a beautiful fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and original oak floors throughout.
There’s a great and easy flow to the dining room and the kitchen. Via a pair of French doors the dining room opens seamlessly to a large entertaining deck.
The kitchen also opens to the deck creating an easy and effortless sense of indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen has an eat-in center island and handsome cabinetry.
The first of three bedrooms is rather spacious. It has really great light and nice views of the garden.
Both the first and second bedroom share this large hall bath. The room has both a bath tub and a walk-in shower.
The primary suite opens up the backyard deck via a third pair of French doors. The suite has an imported Thai wood door that adds a Boho vibe we tried to emulate with our staging, our mix of materials and patterns.
The suite includes laundry, ample closet space, and a full bath.
And now onto this amazing deck I’ve been telling you about.
The shaded deck has built-in seating making it an incredible and relaxing spot for outdoor entertaining. Again, it’s just off the kitchen so food and drink transportation is easy.
The landscaped backyard has a fire pit and a grassy area great for picnics and for dogs.
There’s also a finished 2-car garage that has recently been used as a home office. It would make a great writers or yoga studio, and definitely has some ADU potential.
It was an absolute pleasure to try out east side ethos on this west side charmer. Of course, the timeless Spanish-style elements and the Venice vibe of 745 Brooks Avenue made it exceptionally inspiring.
I would love to give you a private tour of this Venice Beach home. Call me today at (937) 243-2349 or email me at tatiana.tensen@sothebyshomes.com to schedule a visit.
