This 1923 Spanish bungalow with a detached guest house packs the charm, Venice-style. First time on the market in nearly 30 years, this sweet 2 bedroom/1 bath bungalow with a detached guest house in a quiet pocket of Venice has been lovingly and meticulously maintained while still retaining the original character with built-in dining room, hallway and kitchen cabinetry and casement windows that flank the wood-burning fireplace (see remarks) which open out to the garden, allowing the alluring tropical scents of Venice to waft in. The fully gated, low-maintenance front yard has three orange trees and plenty of room to carve out lounge and entertaining areas, plus a spacious shaded front porch. Original built-ins throughout provide sought-after storage. The spacious kitchen and back bedroom share a wood deck that steps out to the private backyard with a lemon, fig and pink orchid tree with room to create another entertaining area, your dream garden or whatever your heart desires. In addition, there is a studio guest house, complete with a kitchenette and a 3/4 bath that was previously rented out on Airbnb. The long driveway/carport can park three smaller cars or 2 1/2 big cars. There are splits in the living room and one bedroom of the main house which effectively cool the whole house on the hottest days. The roomy kitchen comes with a refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, and beyond that, a washer and dryer. The sewer line was replaced from house to street connection. Copper plumbing in main house. Main house roof, mini-splits and water heater are approx. two years old. Foundation has been bolted. Move in and live comfortably as-is, remodel, or investigate the development potential. Whatever your needs, this could be the one! Walk to Superba and Zinque on Lincoln, or, with summer around the corner, hop on your bike and head toward the beach. Your Venice lifestyle begins at 2031 Penmar Avenue! Property sold as-is.
