Enjoy this magical retreat just a few minutes walk from the beach. This is a very special house -- wonderfully open, bright, and serene, recalling New England beach cottages. Originally built in 1926, it has been imaginatively restored, as featured in numerous magazines, with modern touches throughout. Hear the surf at night yet enjoy canyon living in one of the prettiest, most tranquil—and exclusive—neighborhoods in Los Angeles. A variety of restaurants, upscale and casual, are a short walk away while the hip attractions and shopping of Montana Avenue, Venice, and Pacific Palisades are only a few minutes drive.
Through a gated entry, a stone pathway leads past cascading ponds with resident turtles (please feed!) to a trellised flagstone porch overlooking a lovely garden. Inside, there’s a seamless blend of the classic and modern. It’s a beautifully scaled cottage, with an airy, loft-like openness, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Each of the bedrooms enjoys complete privacy. Floors are of douglas fir. Vaulted beamed cedar ceilings (ranging from 15 to 20 feet) give a sense of enormous space. Direct sunlight floods through huge windows and skylights. In every room, French doors open to tropical gardens, drawing the outdoors in. Ocean breezes keep the house cool, day and night. Finishes and details are of the highest quality: among the house’s many special features are an open commercial kitchen (Wolf, Sub-zero, Bosch) with marble counter, a river rock and limestone fireplace, and baths of French limestone and beautiful tile.
To the rear, there is a generous fieldstone patio featuring Weathervane furniture and a Viking grill. An open lawn leads past tall palms to a charming Guest House with sky lighted bath and kitchenette. Giant birds of paradise flank a winding path to an outdoor shower. Massive bamboo and landscaping ensure total privacy for the house.
