12530 Venice Boulevard #5

Set back from the street on a tree-lined, residential stretch of the boulevard behind a secured front gate, a private patio leads into this open-concept, 2/bedroom 2/bat unit that's drenched with natural light. A large living area features wide-plank, engineered-hardwood flooring and a wall-to-wall, built-in entertainment console with flanking bookcases and sconces. A recent remodel by the current owners includes a thoughtful design to maximize storage throughout the entire unit, including custom closets and built ins. The upgraded kitchen includes granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting and high-end appliances such as a brand-new Bosch 800 Series dishwasher. Both the primary ensuite and hall bathrooms are also recently renovated with designer tile, flooring and Cedar & Moss fixtures. The primary bedroom is subtly elevated with a solid-wood shiplap feature wall, and the second bedroom is perfect for family, guests or a dedicated, work-from-home office. The unit also has a newer A.O. Smith 40-gallon water heater (2019), HVAC system (2019) with Nest smart thermostat and Fisher & Paykel in-door water filter. A gated garage has 2 tandem parking spaces and a roll up storage unit. A well-run HOA with $490/month dues includes water, trash, landscaping & exterior maintenance. Just minutes from neighborhood favorites such as Alana's Coffee Roasters, Starbucks the Mar Vista Farmers Market on Sundays, Blueys, Accomplice, Mitsuwa and more. The building is conveniently just a short drive or casual bike ride to Venice boardwalk & Abbot Kinney, Downtown Culver City and several other westside neighborhoods. HOA Dues: $490.00/month
