​​​​​​​LOCATION:
Venice, Calif.

PRICE: $2.995 million

SIZE: 1,896 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms plus detached guest suite

Singer-songwriter and rock-and-roll über-royal Joe Sumner has listed a quaint and casually polished California Craftsman cottage in the mega-trendy heart of Venice, Calif., at $2.995 million. Sumner, the eldest of Sting’s children and the frontman for Fiction Plane, purchased the property in August 2013 for $1.91 million. The property is represented by Jacqueline Cahen at Compass.

Sequestered behind a secured gate and concealed behind an impressively tall, visually impenetrable and carefully clipped hedge, the fully renovated and updated early 1900s cottage measures in at 1,896-square-feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Interiors maintain some original detailing but are decidedly more modern than the exterior with wide-plank white oak floorboards imported from Europe and vaulted ceilings pierced by numerous skylights ensure natural light all day long. A detached structure at the back of the postage-stamp size .12-acre parcel houses a two-car garage with alley access plus a wood floored and skylight topped guest bedroom, office or art studio with en suite bathroom.
