Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Impeccably designed by a talented polymath architect/chef (who doesn't have a side hustle these days?), this home is beautifully crafted with a kitchen that is dressed to impress. The entire house was built with the natural environment in mind, taking full advantage of the California light and sea breeze. Everything has been thoughtfully sourced, with top-notch furnishings and artwork. We were besotted by the front garden, where you're free to use any herbs and vegetables that you find to enhance your culinary adventures. While you're not right in the heart of vibrant Venice, you don't have to walk far before you're on the mile-long stretch of independent boutiques and fantastic restaurants that line Abbot Kinney Boulevard, striding along the bustling boardwalk, or laying out on the beach.
