2306 Penmar Ave, Venice, CA 90291

Located in the heart of Venice Beach, this architecturally significant modern home blends history, design, and prime location. Originally the first house on the block, it was transformed in the 90s as a SCI-Arc thesis project, with structural engineering guided by a renowned professor. In 2004, acclaimed architects Mohamed Sharif and Maria Rondeau expanded the home, infusing it with contemporary influences from their work at Konig Eisenberg and Morphosis. This light-filled three-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers an open floor plan, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Two primary suites include walk-in closets and a private balcony overlooking the lush backyard. The beautifully landscaped outdoor space, designed in part by Eric Gomez of Valle de Verde, features mature greenery and a koi pond, creating a serene retreat. A fully permitted ADU with its own address offers a private deck, full kitchen, washer/dryer, and separate entranceperfect for guests, rental income, or a home office. Located just steps from Venice's best restaurants and coffee shops and a short bike ride to the beach, this home is a rare blend of history, design, and prime location.
