Nestled within the vibrant and eclectic neighborhood of Venice Beach, discover a unique gem that stands as one of the most captivating and expansive properties in the Silver Triangle. As you step onto the property, you are welcomed into a sprawling double-lot retreat, a secret garden that has been artfully co-designed by world-renowned rosarians, Stephen Scanniello and Tom Carruth.
