A Private Hidden Community in Venice

Community in Venice

David Kramer has a new listing at 605-607 Westminster Ave, in Venice, California 90291

Welcome to Westminster Place, founded in 1912, a historic, private compound of 8 newly renovated bungalows that retain the charm of the original structures but offer updated amenities. There are 2, two bedroom units (one offers a loft and meditation room), 3 one bedroom units, and 3 studio units. Each bungalow is unique, but all feature hardwood floors, updated kitchens and baths, new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows and roofs. Some units feature front porches and trellises. Privately gated, this hidden community has lush landscaping, winding walkways, a water feature, communal fire pit, conversation areas and laundry rooms. Although close to Abbot Kinney and the Venice dining and shopping scene, this compound is a serene retreat.

This property is in the heart of Venice, and what makes the location of this property even better is that it is minutes from the beach, and the best shopping and restaurants in Venice.
