Famous for his portrayal of Frodo Baggins in the “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, as well as “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” Elijah Wood must certainly like small spaces...
Located on a highly desirable street in Venice just off of Abbot Kinney Blvd, this micro sized property features two detached bungalows on one lot, offering the possibility of either a high income-producing duplex or combining to create one amazing single family residence.
Hidden behind a gigantic hedgerow the 1,400 square feet property is the combination of two one-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalows. The Craftsman-style residence at the front of the property dates to the early 1920s. A fire-engine-red front door opens directly onto an airy combination living/dining room with custom built-ins and cork floor tiles under a wood-beamed cathedral ceiling. The narrow galley kitchen features poured concrete counter-tops and a vintage range; the fully remodeled bathroom has a pastel-coloured stained-glass window; and an extra-wide glass door in the bedroom leads to a large deck amid jungle-like tropical foliage. The back house contains adjoining living and dining spaces along with a small, separate and simple skylight-topped kitchen, a bright bathroom sheathed in gleaming white subway tiles and a good-sized bedroom with direct garden access which offers a serene setting surrounded by greenery and bamboo for privacy.
Wood bought the bungalows in 2004 for $1.2 million and has recently listed this property with Juliette Hohnen at Douglas Elliman for $1.995 million
