Amazing opportunity to acquire an iconic bauhaus style home just two blocks from the sand. Perfect for the avid art collector and/or artist looking to decorate the double-height walls of the gallery-esque compound with extraordinary interior illumination provided by a mixed glass facade, an investor looking to park their money in a trophy location, the car buff who will appreciate the 3-car garage, or even the owner-user looking to utilize the second unit as studio/office space or off-set mortgage payments with rents while drawing inspiration from the buzzing cultural mecca of Venice. Behind the iron gate are two homes: the main house is on Windward, and the back house can be accessed from the Granada Ct alley or bridge from the main house. The main home features glass block sculptural curves, a custom built-in library, bamboo flooring throughout, stainless steel kitchen with Brazilian zebra wood counter accent, a mezzanine that takes you to the rooftop office or the primary ensuite complete with a spacious walk-in closet and a special room to showcase most prized art pieces or serve as a personal gym. Cross the bridge overlooking the enclosed courtyard to the back two-story dwelling where its current function is somewhat vague, and awaits the new owner to either rent it out, use it as an office, gallery, hobby room, etc. Just a stone's throw to Hume, the post office, boardwalk, Abbot Kinney, Rose Corridor, Main St, and so much more this Venice gem has a view of the ocean and the Venice sign from its rooftop office. Enjoy easy access to Marina del Rey, Santa Monica, Malibu, and everything westside via nearby Highway 1, 10 and 405 freeways, and the rest of the world via nearby LAX Airport.

The property was built in 1939. While the description mentions a stainless steel kitchen with Brazilian zebra wood accents and bamboo flooring, the images show a kitchen and bathrooms that, while functional, appear dated and not recently renovated. The overall style is unique but not necessarily modern. Therefore, it requires minor updates or repairs.
