Property Description

West of Lincoln Boulevard in Venice, this rare and unique property boasts 2 single family homes with a 2-car driveway and a 3-car garage with remote side-sliding doors. The front home is a remodeled 2 bed, 2 bath 1,300 square foot single-story bungalow, and the back home is a stunning 3 bed, 3 1/2 bath 2,400 concrete and glass three-story loft designed by architect Kevin Mulcahy. Together the homes offer 3,700 square feet of sophisticated living space totaling 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths all set behind a modern wood gate and fencing. Both structures were designed to focus on light, a connection to the environment, a chic minimalist organic palette, and natural materials that evoke the great outdoors, and sunny, sandy beaches. The bungalow is anchored by 2 expansive ipe wood decks -- one open air at the front entrance and the other off the kitchen & back bedroom with a dual skylight wood cover. The streamlined kitchen features crisp clean surfaces of Caesarstone and warm wood, cabinetry by Pedini, Miele appliances, top-tier fixtures & lighting. Off the kitchen is a comfortable built-in banquette and an open, airy living space with walls ideal for art, sliding glass doors and an oversized sun-soaked skylight. A striking full facade of southeast-facing glass distinguishes the loft with multiple areas for living, entertaining, and restful relaxation on three levels all connected by wood & steel floating stairs. The 2 bedrooms on the third floor are separated by a glass-floor catwalk that feels magically suspended. On the ground floor is a cool living area with a wood-paneled ceiling and a wall of bifold Cantera glass doors that open to create a seamless flow between the indoors & outdoors. The second floor is anchored by a living space with soaring double-height ceiling; a dining area that accommodates a crowd; an open kitchen that combines elegant marble surfaces, floating shelves, warm wood LEICHT cabinetry, and one of the building's original rugged cross-shaped steel trusses, all in bold contrasting hues. The office or additional bedroom is enclosed by a folding NanaWall of glass. The second and third floors enjoy views of the treetops, Santa Monica mountains and blue sky. The guest bedroom is a peaceful aerie with two walls of glass and a Terrazzo-tiled shower. The owner's suite boasts a spa-inspired bathroom highlighted by a LEICHT vanity and a plaster "wet room" with a 2-person shower & soaking tub. The grounds are a curated selection of water-wise landscaping and xeriscaping filled with native flora. The yard between the 2 homes offers private & serene sitting areas surrounded by mature trees. Trendy shops, award-winning restaurants and that famed ocean beach are just a short distance away.
