At the beginning of the 20th century, developer Abbot Kinney tried to recreate aspects of the Italian city of Venice in Los Angeles, including miniature versions of the canals. This home on a strip of land in Marina del Rey known as Silver Strand is across from Mr. Kinney's Grand Canal. The beach is two blocks wide and ten blocks long, and has its own private security (covered by the homeowners association fee).

The property is a five-minute walk from the beach and a five-minute drive from the Abbot Kinney shopping and dining area in Venice. Marina del Rey, popular with business travelers, is 15 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport.
