Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from November 30, 2023
Vibrant, beautifully designed architectural townhome situated in one of the most desirable pockets of Venice. A true work of art, this spacious and eco-friendly home was built in 2009 with no expense spared. Set back from the street beyond lush bamboo hedges, this celebrity-owned property offers the utmost tranquility and privacy. Step through the home's private entrance into light-filled, airy spaces with soaring ceilings, beautiful bamboo floors, and an abundance of large glass windows throughout. The 2 bedroom + 2 bathroom townhome, which feels like its own house, offers a floor plan that functions brilliantly for easy living and entertaining. The open living and dining areas flow seamlessly to an impressive kitchen that features PaperStone countertops, a breakfast bar, ample storage, and high-end appliances including a Bertazzoni range, Leibherr refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Beyond the main living spaces you'll find a lovely guest bedroom with tree-filled views, and an impeccably designed guest bathroom with a spa-like shower and extra storage. The incredible upstairs primary bedroom boasts a large lounge area, custom walk-in closet, and a sumptuous en-suite bathroom with separate soaking tub and rain shower, and double vanity. The primary bedroom leads to a sprawling roof deck with breathtaking 360-degree views, creating the perfect space to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, and weekend brunches with friends. The expansive roof space provides the opportunity to plant an edible garden, as it was designed and piped with the intention of growing your own food. The home's garage offers direct access, two tandem parking spaces, and plenty of extra storage. Perfectly located West of Lincoln and just a few blocks away from both Abbot Kinney and Rose Ave, close to the endless amount of incredible restaurants and shops that the neighborhood has to offer. A true oasis in the city, this one is not to be missed.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVHS campus is beautiful and the new science, gym, arts building are first class. Students are diverse and seem to get along quite well. Lots of AP classes and programs for students with different interests. And the sports program is amazing…XC, basketball, tennis, football, soccer, baseball. And so many kids are getting into UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, NYU, etc. VHS is morphing into a powerhouse public school. Best kept secret on the Westside.Parent Review5mo ago - Westminster Avenue Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis has the potential to be a good school but in its current form, it's just not. Most of the kids are here to learn. The problem is there is a good 10-20% of kids who are failing and take up most of the teachers energy. The biggest concern for parents should be this: violent fights on a weekly basis. And this should be cause for alarm: these kids get a 1-2 day suspension and return to school the very next day. If you look ok tiktok you will see pretty intense unprovoked fights right out in the open. The principal Dr Ford, seems unwilling to enforce any serious disciplinary measures or maybe they are just overwhelmed and in denial. They actively keep parents out of the school and I think this is how most parents are ignorant to just how much sketchy stuff goes on at this school. There are great teachers here, super engaged and caring but they have so much work to do to help the failing students. Even the IHP and Languages program have to contend w the kids who are causing fights at recess, lunch and a shared PE. There is a lot of racism directed at kids who are in the minority so that's something you should be aware of as a parent. The AP is great but she definitely toes the line and there is only so much she can do. Dr Ford might be great behind the scenes but she is quite inaccessible to parents and students - except at events. Middle school kids will always act up wherever you go but MT seems to be especially rough. Maybe one day Mark Twain might get their stuff together but right now, it's not quite there if you are a family who cares about a safe environment for your kids.Parent Review1mo ago
