What This House Offers
Designed by acclaimed architect John Porter, this soulful Venice compound is a rare expression of modern architecture where open-plan living, privacy, and creativity exist in perfect harmony. Just moments from Abbot Kinney and Venice Beach, the home is organized around a serene, tree-filled courtyard, creating an intimate sanctuary surrounded by lush, mature landscaping.The main residence features three bedrooms and two baths on the lower level, while the sun-filled upper level showcases soaring vaulted trussed ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and an expansive open living, dining, and kitchen space that flows seamlessly onto a private terrace nestled among the trees. A bridge from the terrace leads to a dramatic skylit artist's studio above the two-car garage, complemented by a separate home office or flexible creative space.Described as a model shelter whose simple articulation enriches and sustains," this architecturally significant property offers an extraordinary live/work environment with exceptional potential to thoughtfully renovate while honoring its timeless design. A rare opportunity to experience Venice living at its most inspiring." MLS ID 26867945
