3128 Stanford Ave Venice, CA 90292

Welcome to your very own sanctuary, where privacy, warmth, and effortless coastal living come together. Beyond the statement wood doors, an intimate entry courtyard framed by mature olive trees instantly sets a vacation-at-home tone. Inside, the home opens into bright, airy living spaces designed for real life and easy entertaining: a welcoming living room, a true dinner-party dining area with its own built-in bar, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen that makes everyday cooking feel elevated. Wide-plank oak floors and organic, natural textures add a grounded elegance throughout. The main level also keeps things beautifully functional with a dedicated office and a full bathroom, ideal for work-from-home days and hosting with ease. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with an en-suite bath and dual walk-in closets, alongside two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom, creating the perfect balance of togetherness and separation. French doors off of the kitchen and living room open to the generous backyard, which is made for the way you want to live in California: al fresco dinners, weekend lounging, kids and pets at play, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. And then there's the cherry on top: a full, private one-bedroom guest house perched above the detached two-car garage. Completely self-contained, it feels like an "extra home within a home" and delivers the kind of flexibility buyers rarely find. Host friends and family in total comfort and privacy, create the ideal nanny or au pair setup, enjoy multigenerational living with real independence, or carve out the perfect creative studio or work-from-home haven. It's a standout feature that adds serious lifestyle value and makes this property truly unforgettable. All of it is set on a quiet street, just moments from the sand and surf in Venice and Santa Monica, the marina, and miles of bike paths. Spend your mornings at the beach, your afternoons on Abbot Kinney, and your evenings enjoying the area's best dining, wine bars, and boutiques. Beautifully finished, exceptionally private, and move-in ready, this is modern coastal living at its best.
