The 3,200-square-foot home at 659 Broadway Street, currently listed for $2,799,000, features four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total. The Venice home is part of a two-unit lot that shares an exterior walkway.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office area make up the ground level, which incorporates polished concrete floors and includes a small, private patio that offers direct access to the street.
A floating staircase leads to the second story, where the jewel of the house is a massive living/dining area with a 14-foot ceiling and extra wide–plank oak flooring. The spacious main room features several seating areas and connects to the open kitchen, which lies below a dropped ceiling clad in redwood that matches the home’s exterior.
The bright California sun floods into the house through oversize windows cut in varying shapes. Although they are large, the windows were placed strategically to maximize privacy for residents.
