Venice, CA 90292 34 Anchorage Street

This one is all about living the actual dream. On a beach walk-street, just steps to the sand sits this gated architectural duplex where all you really need is your toothbrush and maybe a surfboard. The stunning front unit has two bedrooms (the 2nd bedroom is currently used as an office/extension of the primary, with its own balcony), two and a half baths, and a fantastic floor with a free-flowing kitchen/living/dining room that opens onto the spacious and gracious patio, with room for more cooking, eating, and living. The upstairs back unit, with 2 bedrooms of its own, could be used as an extension of the home, a sort of built-in guest house, or as an income producer. And this location! You're in the middle of it all, but it still feels like a vacation. If you're exhausted from all of the entertaining you'll do because you've become the hub of your social circle with this swank pad, just pop around the corner and grab a bite at any of the fantastic restaurants on Washington Boulevard. You're close enough to stroll the Venice Canals and do some world-class shopping on Abbot Kinney. And the beach! You can catch the sunset every single evening. This one is more than a home, it's a lifestyle.
