About This Home
As of November 2023Welcome to this beautifully restored Venice home, a fusion of historical allure and coastal modern design. Rumor has it that this home was built in 1906 by the visionary Abbot Kinney, in the Queen Anne style. The home has been lovingly reinvented and expanded by the current owners. Working in collaboration with renown Venice architect Robert Thibodeau, they created a home that embraces a minimalist aesthetic, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, and mid-century modern design. Note the stacked horizontal roof lines, exposed redwood ceilings inside and out, and clerestory glass on the second floor and how they seamlessly integrate the original design with contemporary elements, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and forward-thinking. Enter into a formal elevated parlor, where walls of windows entice you into the expansive living and dining rooms with 11' ceilings, each space imbued with a sense of grandeur and possibility. Indulge your culinary passions and entertain with ease in the light-filled kitchen, featuring Boffi cabinetry, top-of-the-line Miele appliances, a breakfast bar, and a built-in banquette. A wall of glass effortlessly opens, revealing an outdoor deck and yard. This generous space becomes the backdrop for leisurely gatherings and serene relaxation, with room for a future pool. Also on the main level are an office/study and a junior Primary Suite. Explore the upper level with soaring ceilings, bands of clerestory windows, skylights and treetop views, centered around a warm and inviting second living room that provides access to the 3 upstairs bedrooms. The lovely Primary Suite beckons with a wall of windows that open onto a private balcony, allowing natural light to flood the space. It boasts a large custom-designed walk-in closet and dressing area. Come discover this exceptional home nestled in the highly coveted Milwood neighborhood, a gateway to the picturesque walk streets and a leisurely stroll away from the world-renowned restaurants and shops of Abbot Kinney, the bustling Rose Avenue corridor, and iconic Venice Beach, where an unrivaled blend of coastal beauty, bohemian spirit and vibrant city life await you.
