12 Rose Avenue

One block from the sand on Rose Avenue, a 1924 Craftsman anchors a walled beach compound: two homes on a rare double lot, from the era when Abbot Kinney’s Venice of America was turning from canal-side resort into a neighborhood.

The main house keeps its period bones in wood trusses and fireplaces, with Viking appliances and marble counters; a detached three-level guest house, eight parking spaces, and a courtyard with mature landscaping, a jacuzzi, and an outdoor fireplace complete the compound.
