EXTRAORDINARILY RARE 1910 CRAFTSMAN ONE HOUSE TO THE BEACH! IN ESCROW BUT STILL ACCEPTING STRONG BACKUP OFFERS!
Set on historic 30th Avenue walk street, this stunning 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 which has just undergone a thoughtful refresh including new cabinetry, quartz countertops, a new range, sink, and new floors, further enhancing functionality and long-term value. Wide-plank 1/2-inch-thick oak floors installed about 5 years ago reflect significant recent investment and provide exceptional durability and quiet performance throughout the home. 3 bedrooms & 3 baths complete the original Craftsman portion of the home before transitioning to the permitted 1991 expansion. A gated front patio offers peaceful outdoor living with effortless access to the walk street’s coastal vibrancy, and a second-floor balcony captures an 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.
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 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 thoughtful 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 offering remarkable scale, history, and meaningful long-term potential.
