Imagine Life At this Storybook Artists' Colony

VENICE, CA — My assignment was to find a house that's perfect for entertaining. And, well, I find this house perfectly entertaining.

Built in 1930 by Schultz Boyd, this historic Venice storybook house is is an artists' compound, which is perfectly apparent simply by scrolling through the photos on realtor.com. It's worth it: trust me. Scroll and imagine living in this house, and imagine the lives of the people who have lived here. This is no ordinary house. The bathroom, alone, is the most unique in all of LA.
