About the Space

Welcome to our handsomely renovated 1920's Craftsman bungalow located in the residential neighborhood of Ocean Park. We are less than one mile from Santa Monica Beach, OP 26, and the strand, also known as the bike path. The location is easily walkable, or bikeable, to Main Street, the Santa monica pier, and Santa Monica High School. Jocelyn park and a large dog park are steps from the home. Our neighborhood is adjacent to Sunset Park, Venice, and downtown Santa Monica. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a garden oasis with privacy hedge, mature strawberry, lemon, and orange trees, as well as a nod to Northwest landscaping. The porch is surrounded by overgrown ferns, hydrangea, flowering hedges, as well as wandering and blooming vines. Through a classic craftsman door, you will enter to appreciate a 3 bedroom, 4 bath home with an open floor plan entryway. To the left is a casual sitting area, and to the right a fireplace with built in bookshelves. There are two childrens rooms in the home. The first belongs to an elementary student, and has a queen murphy bed, walk in closet, and renovated en suite bathroom with tub, herringbone tile, and updated vanity.
