Stunning Two-Story Craftsman Retreat in Prime Venice Location. Rare opportunity to lease a beautifully restored two-story Craftsman bungalow in the heart of Venice's coveted Milwood neighborhood. Ideally located just moments from Abbot Kinney, Erewhon, and a short stroll to the beach, this sun-filled 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath sanctuary blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Originally built in 1913 as an artist's studio, the home features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The dramatic two-story living room opens through double French doors to a private, lushly landscaped yard and inviting oasis with mature fruit trees (plum, fig, and a 100-year-old lemon tree) and space for al fresco dining. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite features a full bathroom with a shower and a spacious wrap-around deck with ample room for outdoor lounging. The downstairs features a second bedroom with an en-suite half bath and washer-dryer, plus a separate full bathroom with a shower and oversized walk-in closet. An attached bonus structure offers flexible space for a home office, gym, or creative studio, complete with three generous closets for additional storage. Additional highlights include a gourmet open kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, microwave), in-unit washer and dryer, air conditioning, heating, alley parking for two vehicles, and plenty of street parking. Gardener service included. A true Venice gem not to be missed.
