Less than a half mile from Venice Beach, the Canals, Abbot Kinney, and Erewhon, this light-filled architectural home sits quietly on Mildred Avenue, close to everything, yet tucked away from it all. The dramatic double-height living room showcases an oversized picture window, a cozy fireplace, and great walls for art. Upstairs, the open kitchen & dining level is perfect for connection - think dinner parties, lazy Sunday mornings, or kids doing homework at the built-in banquette. Featuring two sinks, two ovens, a 6-burner range, generous counter space & storage, a powder room, and a built-in desk this area is both beautiful and multi-functional. Up to the top floor, the south-facing primary has serious wow factor boasting soaring ceilings with neighborhood views, a fireplace, and a spa-like bath complete with skylight, jetted tub, and steam shower. Two more bedrooms, one larger with built-ins and tree-top views, share a hall bath with a windowed shower. Downstairs, a large den flexes to fit your lifestyle - office, media room, guest bedroom, or all of the above. Outside, the zen garden invites you to slow down and escape the hustle of city life - your own solemn piece of nature. The home is complete with a two-car direct-entry garage off a gated driveway, plus plenty of street parking for friends or family to drop by. You can feel the soul of this home the moment you step inside - light, warmth, and that easy Venice vibe in one perfect package.
