Charmingly peaceful - yet only one block away from the energetic heart of Venice, Abbot Kinney - this modernist home achieves the perfect balance of feeling both idyllically remote and right in the thick of the neighbourhood. Irregular oval coffee tables, pitch-black tiled fireplaces, and lightshades that twist and turn into surrealist curves – nothing in this LA home is quite ordinary, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Natural light – and a glimpse of the blossom trees outside – streams through huge windows into the modern, minimalist space, illuminating the contemporary artworks and polished wooden furniture. Care is obvious in this home’s interiors and evidence of its thoughtful design is all-encompassing – soft linen sofas invite you to sit back, throw open the patio doors and let peace wash over you. One of the main allures of this home can be found in the garden, where you can share a pitcher of margaritas beneath the hanging lights and soak up the Californian heat. Whether you opt for revitalisation and seclusion in your Kinfolk Magazine-worthy home or sunbathing on the powdery sands of Venice Beach (only a cool twenty-minute walk away) you’re always blissfully engaged in Venice. Our perfect day means waking up with the sun on the deck, coffee and LA Times in hand, before exploring one of the many local galleries, or spending a quiet day in and out of Abbot Kinney Boulevard boutiques. Share a wood-fired pizza and market salad at Gjelina, then stop off at Salt & Straw for one of their famous challenging combinations - we like the Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese - before taking a walk around the wetland canals and Venice boardwalk. Your hard-earned day of exploration can be rewarded at one of Venice’s many delicious restaurants - NIGHT + MARKET Sahm if you’re feeling Thai larb and natural wine, Felix Trattoria for regional pasta dishes mastered in Bologna, or stock up on groceries at Erewhon, only a five-minute walk away, for a romantic dinner at home in the stunning mid-century dining room.
