514 Altair Place

Built in 1909, this original character Craftsman home on a private, oversized lot-and-a-half has been beautifully remodeled to offer warmth and elegance just moments from Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney. The inviting front porch leads into an open living room with a gas fireplace; cherry wood library and hardwood floors; welcoming den; and formal dining room with an original Pierre Madel Paris chandelier. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is complete with a handcrafted Le Cornue range, Subzero refrigerator and large built-in bluestone island. Through the hall, the classic wet bar includes two wine refrigerators and skylights allow for plenty of light throughout. Upstairs holds a generous master suite with a large en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, two guest bedrooms, and a beautiful terrace looking onto a canopy of trees with the rare and secluded backyard and patio. Great for indoor-outdoor dining and entertaining, outdoors boasts an original EarthStone pizza oven — used and approved by some of America’s most well-known chefs and food writers, including the owners and chef’s of LA’s own Pizzeria Mozza. Altair Place, originally part of the Venice Canals, exemplifies the balance of classic architecture and modern urban living in one of L.A.’s most dynamic enclaves.
