Built in 1910 (116 years old).
Condition: Built in 1910 with a significant expansion in 1991 (33 years ago), this property is well-maintained but shows signs of its age and the era of its last major renovation. The kitchen features high-end appliances like a Wolf range but the cabinetry and overall style, along with some bathroom elements (e.g., glass block, jetted tub), appear dated. While functional and livable, it requires minor updates to bring it to current aesthetic standards.

About this home

EXTRAORDINARILY RARE 1910 CRAFTSMAN ONE HOUSE TO THE BEACH! Set on historic 30th Avenue walk street, this stunning, beautifully preserved and expanded 1910 Craftsman offers a scale and flexibility rarely available in Venice. The home provides approximately 4,696 sq ft of documented living space per Coastal Commission Administrative Permit and Certificate of Occupancy (Assessor records show 3,396 sq ft; buyer to verify). The original home features an airy, sun-filled open-plan great room with brick fireplace, dining area, and a spacious kitchen equipped with a Wolf range and a vintage commercial-style stock-pot burner—a distinctive culinary centerpiece echoing the home's eclectic heritage. Three bedrooms and three baths complete the original Craftsman portion of the home, before transitioning to the permitted 1991 expansions. A gated front patio offers peaceful outdoor living with effortless access to the walk street’s coastal vibrancy, and a second-floor balcony captures a natural ocean-view corridor. Per seller, the home includes multi-zone climate systems serving different areas of the residence; buyer to verify all cooling and heating details independently. In 1991, the property was expanded through permitted work, adding two additional bedroom/bathroom suites and a spectacular roof deck with sweeping views of Washington Square, the ocean, and the surrounding mountains—grandfathered in at an elevation no longer achievable under current Coastal height limits. These upper-level spaces offer exceptional flexibility for guests, creative work, extended-stay family, or future ADU/JADU exploration under current City regulations. The complete Coastal Commission documentation package—available for buyer review—includes the Administrative Permit, Certificate of Occupancy, 2024 CDP application, adopted Special Conditions, and full staff report, offering uncommon clarity and opportunity for those considering future design or remodels within Venice’s dual-permit jurisdiction coastal zone. Nearly next to Venice Beach, the pier, Washington Square, Abbot Kinney, and the best of coastal living, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a true walk-street classic—one with remarkable scale, history, and future potential.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2401, other record lot size in square feet = 2650. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4696, other record living area = 3396.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2401, living area = 4696.
Square Footage Discrepancy: A notable difference exists between the documented 4,696 sq ft and the Assessor's record of 3,396 sq ft, requiring buyer verification and potentially impacting valuation or financing.
Potential for Age-Related Maintenance: As a 1910 build, despite preservation and expansion, the property may require ongoing maintenance or updates to original systems, with specific climate control details needing buyer verification.
Coastal Zone Development Constraints: While existing permits are clear, future significant modifications or new construction will still be subject to the complex and often stringent regulations of a dual-permit jurisdiction coastal zone.
