About this home

Situated directly on Ocean Front Walk, this iconic Venice Beach property offers a rare combination of beachfront living, income potential, and commercial flexibility. The 2,641-square-foot Spanish-style building, rich with over a century of character, features 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and is currently configured as a luxury short-term rental. As a beach home, the residence delivers authentic coastal living with ocean and Boardwalk views, a rooftop deck, original architectural details blended with thoughtful updates, handcrafted tile work, and resort-style amenities including a 10-person sauna. A gated and private courtyard provides parking for approximately 4 to 6 vehicles, an exceptional offering on the Boardwalk. As a high-income rental opportunity, the property benefits from commercial zoning and approximately 44 feet of Ocean Front Walk frontage. A separate one-bedroom condominium with its own private garage adds flexibility for owner use, guest accommodation, or additional income. As a retail or office opportunity, the site sits along one of the most heavily trafficked pedestrian corridors in Southern California, with millions of annual visitors passing directly in front of the property. The visibility, frontage, and zoning create a compelling platform for a flagship retail, creative office, or experiential concept in one of Los Angeles' most recognizable beachfront locations. Positioned behind the Venice pickleball courts and at the heart of the Boardwalk, this property offers a rare chance to own a true Venice landmark, equally compelling as a personal residence, income-producing asset, or high-exposure commercial presence.
