Designed by architect Juan Garcia-Murari, AIA, LEED AP, this striking Venice residence announces itself immediately, with soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, just steps from the heart of Abbot Kinney. At the center of the home, a dramatic sunken great room delivers something rare in this neighborhood: genuine privacy and quiet. Set below street level, yet flooded with natural light, the space feels worlds away from the energy just outside; an intimate retreat in the middle of one of LA’s most electric blocks. The open main level is designed for daily life and effortless entertaining in equal measure. The chef’s kitchen anchors the space with rich walnut cabinetry, Viking appliances, a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and an oversized island that draws people in. The soaring ceilings and expansive windows keep the energy open and airy throughout. Upstairs, a versatile loft is the kind of flex space that changes how you live; equally suited as a home office, creative studio, media room, or private retreat. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, with a generous walk-in closet, jetted soaking tub, and steam shower that make it easy to never want to leave. The rooftop terrace is the home’s crown jewel. Sweeping views, a fire pit, and a full outdoor kitchen set the stage for sunset dinners, late-night cocktails, and year-round entertaining under the stars. Step outside and you’re already there: the restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and vibrant street life that have made Abbot Kinney one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated destinations are moments from your front door. Architectural vision, unexpected privacy, light-drenched interiors, and one of Venice’s most coveted addresses. This is Abbot Kinney living at its best.
