Life here in the Venice Canals is simply better! Just walking along the mile and a half of waterways, the feeling of tranquility is immediately palpable. Now, imagine actually living here! In one of the most iconic of all Southern California beach cities, this incredible and historic oasis of 3 islands (!) hosts only 350 homes surrounded by 6 navigable canals and offers an amazing cocoon of calm in the midst of the city and the heart of Silicon Beach. This duplex features a 3 bedroom, 2 bath lower unit with a gracious hedged terrace overlooking the water and a floating conversation deck. Upstairs a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom upper unit with a fabulous rooftop deck affording explosive 360 degree views perfect for entertaining and sunset (or sunrise…) watching. Both units feature large canal facing, open public areas anchored by the warmth of cozy fireplaces. Upstairs a wall of glass looking out to the Santa Monica Mountains, opens to the ocean breeze and a balcony that spans the entire width of the building. An open kitchen is highlighted by natural wood cabinetry, professional quality stainless appliances and granite counters. Down the skylit hallway to the bedrooms, exposed beams and ducting reinforce the open and loft-like feeling of the unit while a sumptuous travertine en-suite primary bath with oversized soaking tub and double vanity pampers you in spa-like comfort. Garage parking for 4 cars with space for 1 more in the driveway. Just 2 blocks from the Venice Boardwalk and the Pacific Ocean, 3 blocks to all of the hip shops, restaurants and energy of Abbot Kinney. Don’t miss this!
