209 Ruth Avenue is a beautifully updated Venice bungalow that combines classic charm with modern upgrades. Upon entering this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home, gorgeous natural light floods the living and dining areas through large windows. The kitchen is a standout, with a vintage stove, Carrera marble counters, and a striking live edge Bubinga wood island. Elegant archways frame each room, adding beautiful character and a timeless feel. Both bedrooms are generous in size, including the primary suite with an attached spa-like bathroom featuring PentalQuartz framing a stunning bathtub, complemented by Italian porcelain flooring. French doors connect the primary suite to the private backyard retreat, complete with a built-in hot tub, fire pit, Japanese shishi odoshi water fountain, and deck perfect for unwinding. The converted garage, affectionately dubbed "Club 209" by the sellers, was the ultimate gathering spot for their family and friends. With wood paneling, vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, a gas stove/fireplace, and a built-in bar, it's designed for entertaining. Sliding glass doors open to a stone patio with a built-in barbecue, perfect for summer dinner parties. The home also features a speaker system for seamless entertainment and a thoughtful layout that provides easy access from the kitchen to the outdoor entertaining areas. The property is enveloped in lush, mature landscaping with garden lighting, creating a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy your little slice of outdoor paradise. This home is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the neighborhood has to offer while being tucked away in a more tranquil setting. The shops and restaurants on Rose Avenue, Main Street, and Abbot Kinney are just a couple of blocks away, with Whole Foods a quick 2-minute drive and Ozone Park directly across the street.
