1121 Abbot Kinney Designed by Architect Michael Sant of Sant Architects

Located on the quiet end of the Boulevard, near Main Street, in the vibrant heart of Venice’s main thoroughfare, the building is just a quick walk from the beach. It’s also within yards of some of the area’s most lauded eateries, among them is Gjusta, The Rose Cafe and Gjelina.

Montana Avenue Hidden Gem by PHS

If you aren’t looking for this property, you might walk right by it. The house, set back from the street, is hidden from view by a hedge. A white gate is the sole indication that there is, in fact, a house burrowed behind the thicket of polished green leaves. Step into the front yard and the surprises continue: this home astounds with its generous size, a floor plan that balances private and public spaces with elegance and ease, and attention to exquisite details, like chair rails and crown moldings, sturdy hardware and beautifully appointed closets, all of which elevate the place from pretty to sublime.
