I’ve never paid much attention to pop star Kesha, but she recently closed a real estate deal that made me sit up and take notice. She bought a beautiful Spanish bungalow in Venice that is sweet, charming, and extremely well-designed. She did drop $1.65 million on it, which ain’t cheap (this is Venice, after all), but it’s a nice contrast to the over-sized opulence favored by so many of her peers. Kesha’s beach house is one of her biggest hits yet, in my book.

Measuring only 1,416 square feet, Kesha’s beach house, built in 1925, has three bedrooms, two baths, and a garage that has been converted into a light-filled art studio. The backyard features a fountain, spa, fireplace and full kitchen. Indoors everything redone to perfection, featuring remarkably tasteful and clever use of light and space. Many of the home’s original features, like thick plaster walls, round-cornered entryways and gorgeous Spanish tile, were tastefully left intact. French doors and wood and tile floors that marked the period also remain. The master bedroom and bathroom are light-filled and luxurious, suiting even the most discriminating.
