An inspiring creation by Bret Felix Theony, the same visionary architect behind Prince's iconic Paisley Park, this Venice sanctuary is two blocks above the vibrant Abbott Kinney with easy access to enticing eateries and shopping, the beach, bike path and more. The gated and private entry leads to walls of glass opening to the main living space with two story ceiling, concrete flooring complemented by warm wood detailing, and a floating staircase leading to the upper level. The chef's kitchen has stainless steel appliances and center island with breakfast bar and dining area. Designed to maximize a sense of indoor and outdoor living, the floor to ceiling pocket doors expand the voluminous interior space to its outdoor room: a covered dining area with heat lamps and fireplace, and a sitting area opening to the lushly landscaped and private yard with swimmer's pool and spa. The main house has one bedroom suite downstairs and two upstairs, with the primary suite opening to its balcony with a sitting area and serene outlook of the private compound. Above the three car garage is a separate guest suite with a versatile storage space and a separate entrance, ideal for extending family, guests or home office. Amenities include radiant heat in the baths, built in speakers throughout, retractable pool cover, central AC, built in outdoor heating, wine fridge and three car garage with sliding doors opening to the backyard and pool. Seize this opportunity to embrace California living at its finest in a prime Venice location.
