About 703 Marco Place
Bathed in sunshine from its south-facing corner lot and tucked behind lush hedging on one of Venice's most coveted walk-streets, this exquisitely renovated 1920s California Bungalow offers a private retreat just moments from Abbot Kinney, the beach, Erewhon, and the beloved Friday Farmers Market. Rich in character yet thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, the home blends timeless Craftsman architecture with refined contemporary design. A welcoming Trex front porch sets the tone, while warm wood floors, character molding, designer lighting, and abundant natural light create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and effortlessly relaxed. The spacious living room is anchored by a classic brick fireplace and flows seamlessly into a charming dining area designed for everyday living and entertaining alike. At the heart of the home, the fully remodeled gourmet kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional. Sage-painted custom cabinetry, marble countertops and backsplash, unlacquered brass hardware, a butcher block island with seating, and premium Bertazzoni and Fisher & Paykel appliances create a space worthy of any design magazine. A preserved 1950s General Electric wall oven serves as a charming nod to the home's history, adding warmth and personality to the thoughtfully curated renovation. The intelligently redesigned floor plan maximizes both flow and storage, offering three bedrooms and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. One bedroom, framed by glass pocket doors, provides exceptional flexibility as a home office, library, or guest room. Privately positioned at the rear of the residence, the primary suite offers extensive custom closet space and a serene en suite bath featuring a glass-enclosed tiled shower and marble-topped vanity. Completed with extensive upgrades, including a new roof, new HVAC system, new flooring, fresh exterior paint, enhanced outdoor living spaces, and significant custom built-in storage throughout, the home delivers both beauty and peace of mind for years to come. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting. Surrounded by mature landscaping and privacy hedging, the fully gated property captures the essence of Venice's indoor-outdoor living with multiple areas for dining al fresco, entertaining, or relaxing in the California sunshine. A rear deck opens to a spacious stone patio that wraps around to the front turf lawn, creating a secluded sanctuary enveloped in sweet ocean breeze. A detached one-car garage with epoxy flooring offers secure parking or a versatile flex space for a creative studio, workshop, or potential conversion into a guest suite or ADU. Offering exceptional natural light, thoughtful design, and a coveted location within one of the Westside's most vibrant coastal communities, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Venice bungalow where historic charm and modern luxury exist in harmony.
