How often do you come across a Venice beachfront property that’s been in the same family for more than 85 years — and once had a storefront right here on the boardwalk? Check out my Friday Find.
This property is situated in Venice Beach on the famed Ocean Front Walk — a true beachfront original with history, character, and flexibility all wrapped into one iconic location. Behind the gates, one of the rarest features, private parking for four to six cars.
Built in the 1930s, this Spanish-style gem is 5 bedrooms, 5 baths and 2,631 square feet of living space on nearly 4,000-square-foot lot — a generous footprint for Ocean Front Walk. And for decades, the ground level was home to a local bike shop, serving the constant flow of riders and beachgoers.
Inside, you’ll find handcrafted tile work, classic arches, ocean views, and even a 10-person sauna — because Venice always keeps things interesting.
Today, it’s operating as a luxury short-term rental, and here’s what makes it stand out — commercial zoning plus roughly 44 feet of Ocean Front Walk frontage. Live here, rent it out, or turn it into a flagship retail or creative space. It’s all on the table.
There’s also a separate one-bedroom condo with its own private garage — perfect for guests or extra income.
And the location couldn’t be more central — steps from the sand, right behind the pickleball courts, and front-row along one of the busiest pedestrian stretches in Southern California. Millions of people pass by yearly.
A beachfront home, an income engine, and a piece of Venice history — all in one incredible package.
This one-of-a-kind property is listed for $7,999,000.
