A former owner of the Venice got hands-on when it came time to renovate the 1950s bungalow, learning CAD software in order to assist the design process. Listed for $3.895 million, the single-story house has a clean aesthetic with white plaster walls, bleached French oak floors and picture windows that let in natural light. Outside, the fenced and gated residence has a small swimming pool that is surrounded by decking. A guest suite with a kitchenette sits nearby.
