805 Crestmoore PlaceVenice, CA 90291

Description

A rare Venice compound on a 4,200 sq ft LAR2 lot: a light-filled 1922 bungalow (808 sq ft per assessor) plus a separate two-story, ~1,556 sq ft structure built in 1984 with permits as a recreation room and carport roughly 2,360 sq ft under roof in total. This is one of those classic beach cottages where everything feels possible. Tucked behind high hedges on one of Venice's most charming streets, the Crestmoore Cottage is private, bright, and inviting. This two-bedroom, one-bath home is only blocks from Abbot Kinney and a quick bike ride to the beach, and this one comes with an extraordinary bonus. You'll first encounter a beautiful front garden, perfect for outdoor living and dining (and even napping in the swinging hammock). Inside, gorgeous hardwood floors, a built-in glass-doored breakfront, and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the living/dining room overlooking the garden. The spacious kitchen features the original O'Keefe & Merritt stove alongside a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and butcher block countertop. A stacked washer/dryer adds everyday convenience, and both bedrooms stay cool with new ceiling fans. Behind the main cottage sits that second structure: a separate, two-story ~1,556 sq ft building permitted as a recreation room and carport, currently improved as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath living space (dwelling conversion unpermitted; not included in listed square footage; buyer to verify). Tenant-occupied. Whether you envision a private studio and office compound, creative space, or pursuing a permitted change of use / ADU conversion, this second structure gives 805 Crestmoore Place flexibility that almost never comes to market in Venice. Vintage charm out front, real possibility out back. This is Venice living, reimagined.
