Some properties hold a lifetime of stories: Offered for the first time in 81 years, 1109 Garfield Ave offers two separate homes on an expansive 10,757-square-foot lot. This home has been the backdrop for growing up, gathering together, and making a home in Venice. Now, this much-loved property is ready for its next chapter. A wide front lawn and mature greenery welcome you into a setting with room to breathe. Sunlight finds its way through the interiors, while patios and outdoor gathering spaces invite life to spill outside - doors open to the afternoon breeze, friends lingering over dinner, and quiet mornings with coffee in the garden. There is an easy, familiar charm here, with room to bring your own style and make new memories. The one-story, three-bedroom, two-bath front house and two-story, two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath back house create a natural balance of togetherness and independence. Each has its own living spaces and rhythm, while the generous grounds connect the property as a whole. Keep loved ones close, live in one home and rent the other, or explore the income potential of both - the layout offers flexibility for the way you live now and how life may change. Close to Abbot Kinney, the beach, and Marina del Rey, days can move from a neighborhood coffee to an afternoon by the ocean and dinner near the water. With its deep roots, generous lot, and two distinct homes, the home offers a chance to put down roots of your own and shape a lasting piece of Venice.
