    Floating staircaseSun-soaked family roomTemperature-controlled wine storageDesigner-crafted kitchenBuilt-in espresso stationStriking geometryBold light-filled architectural residence
    Meet the ever-enchanting Loren. Located at 838 California Avenue, this bold, light-filled architectural residence in the heart of Venice is an iconic expression of contemporary design and coastal sophistication. Celebrated across major design publications, Loren is one of the acclaimed Glass Ladies -- a trio of sculptural homes conceived by renowned designer Alon Zakoot and revered for their striking geometry and refined livability. Inside, a rare display of bold design and exceptional craftsmanship unfolds across a thoughtfully composed main level positioned around a central, open-air courtyard with a saltwater pool. A dramatic double-height foyer with a sculptural chandelier sets the tone, leading into the poolside living room anchored by an electrical fireplace. On the opposite side of the courtyard lounge is the designer-crafted kitchen, a culinary showpiece featuring European lacquer cabinetry, Calacatta stone countertops, premium appliances including a double-oven range, built-in espresso station, and temperature-controlled wine storage. The adjacent dining room, lined by floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the courtyard, invites gatherings both intimate and grand. Smart home tech, including home automation and integrated surround sound, enhances both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. Ascend the floating staircase to discover a sun-soaked family room and the grand primary retreat. A sanctuary of relaxation, the primary suite boasts designer finishes, a private balcony with gas fireplace, generous closet space, and a spa-inspired bath complete with jetted soaking tub, glass-enclosed tile shower, and dual vanities. Additional secondary bedroom suites are each exquisitely appointed and include a junior primary suite with its own private, open-air patio. On the lower entertainment level, a spacious media lounge awaits with a built-in bar and ample space to relax or entertain. Crowning the residence is an expansive rooftop deck with sweeping 360-degree views of swaying palms, majestic mountains, and the sparkling cityscape. A built-in outdoor kitchen and firepit lounge create a destination for alfresco dining and relaxing in the California sunshine. Supremely positioned just moments from the beach and vibrant Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the home is surrounded by world-class dining, shopping, and laidback beach culture, representing Westside living at its most inspired.
