With over a century of history, the Craftsman-style home remains one of America's and particularly California's most beloved architectural traditions. Originally purchased in 1904 by Lucinda Dike for just $10, the lot became home to a residence built in 1910. Later acquired by the family of Edward Gerety, who served as Mayor of Venice, the property remained in the Gerety family through the 1940s, a rare legacy of early Venice history. Defined by timeless charm and masterful craftsmanship, the design embraces natural materials, rich woodwork, and thoughtful details, including open floor plans, built-in features, warm wood finishes, expansive windows, and a central fireplace that anchors the living space. Reimagined with the refined eye of Lorna Wallace Design, the home has been thoughtfully updated to preserve its original character while introducing a fresh, modern sensibility. Perfectly positioned on a rare double lot along Venice's premier walk street, just steps from the beach and Oceanfront Walk, this distinctive residence offers the ultimate in Southern California beach living. Featuring five bedrooms, including a private guest house, the home is surrounded by lushly landscaped grounds with a pool and multiple lounging areas ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Property consists of 2 APNS.
