21 27th Ave, Venice, CA 90291

A stone's throw from the sand and sea on a quiet walk street in the heart of Venice, this iconic stand-alone architectural gem hidden behind an olive grove is a one-of-a-kind designed by Charles Sutherland, of the world-renowned UK architectural firm SUHUHA, who is responsible for the British Embassy in Berlin among many other RIBA-awarded buildings. Organized around a full height courtyard void allowing dappled light to penetrate the deep plan, the living spaces feature walls of glass that open to the leafy streetscapes, multiple balconies, and ocean views while maintaining a sense of privacy. The great room showcases a sunken living room with fireplace, a concrete bar above the courtyard, and a chef's Bulthaup kitchen with Gaggenau ovens and Miele appliances. All 3 bedrooms feature en suite baths with glass showers or soaking tubs. The ultimate amenity for entertaining, the rooftop living area has a BBQ kitchen, dining terrace, and views to the Pacific. Featuring a garden as well as a courtyard and parking for 3 cars, the unique house is situated moments from not only the beach and the canals but also shops, restaurants, and bars on the best walk street in Venice.
