About This Home
As of September 2025Designed by visionary architect Steven Ehrlich, this architectural loft redefines Venice Beach living with a bold blend of industrial elegance and coastal tranquility. Located just steps from the sand and the iconic Abbot Kinney, this rare corner residence in a gated, four-unit enclave offers a stunning composition of space, light, and style. From the moment you enter, dramatic 2.5-story ceilings and polished concrete floors set the tone for a striking yet serene ambiance. A pull-up garage window floods the open-concept living area with ocean breezes and sunlight, while a rustic metal fireplace and built-in shelving add layers of texture and warmth. The space flows seamlessly into a flexible living and dining area ideal for entertaining. The remodeled kitchen exudes splendor with functionality, and all three bathrooms have been extensively updated, bringing a sense of cohesiveness to the overall elegance of the home. The primary suite is a sanctuary suspended above it all, featuring a spa-inspired bathroom and a private balcony with ocean views. To top it off, a private rooftop deck offers panoramic ocean vistas from Catalina to Point Dume. Additional highlights include a direct-access two-car garage, guest parking, and a separate laundry area with a brand new side-by-side washer and dryer. This is coastal luxury, reimagined. 25 Brooks is not just a home it's a statement of sophisticated living at the edge of the Pacific.
