236 Howland Canal

About This Property

We're pleased to present 236 Howland Canal, a charming 1921 beach cottage set directly on the historic Venice Canals. Offered at $1,750,000 and delivered vacant at close, the property represents one of the lowest-priced canal-front opportunities in the neighborhood — a true land-value and lifestyle play in one of Los Angeles’ most iconic and supply-constrained waterfront communities. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers ±807 square feet of classicCalifornia beach living on a 2,833 square foot canal-front lot, rich in original 1921 character. A detached nonconforming structure adds flexibility as a home office, creative studio, gym, guest space or storage, and on-site parking accommodates 3–4vehicles. The roof was replaced in 2021 with permits, using a Class A fire-rated system compliant with current California building codes. Vacant delivery gives the next owner maximum optionality: move in and enjoy the canals as-is, lease at full market rents, reimagine the cottage, or pursue a larger vision over time. Comparable canal cottages have closed between $1.90M and $2.05M over the past year — every one above the subject’s offering price.
