Description Easing In: Los Angeles

It’s rare to find a calm sanctuary in the heart of bustling Venice, but step into this home and you’ll feel the outside world disappear. Through the sliding glass doors there is an explosion of soothing earthy tones, natural materials and endless greenery. The interior is an ode to the cool Californian air – with vast floor-to-ceiling windows, simple wooden furnishings and a sleek black fireplace feature, the outdoor to indoor transition is smooth and easy. Quirky ornaments and bookshelves also add a stylish yet homely ambience. Outside, the garden is an oasis of plants and vegetation that will make your morning coffee on the sun-kissed patio a delight. Ready to start the day? Hop on a bicycle – included in the home – and spin down to the iconic Venice beach, just a twenty-minute ride away.

Home truths:
*As the beach is a ten-minute drive away, we suggest hiring a car – there is free on-street parking nearby
*This home is laid out over a single level
*The master suite shower does not have a screen or door so expect some water splashing on the floor
*The dryer can take more than two hours to dry small load
*Pets unfortunately can’t stay here
