About this home

Luxury Live Auction! Bidding to start from $1,750,000. Traditional non-distressed property; cash or financing OK, and seller will entertain offers prior to auction. Designed by notable architect Alex Meconi, this striking architectural penthouse is just steps to the sand and moments from the Venice Canals, delivering a rare combination of exceptional beachside privacy, outdoor space, and three-car parking—a true unicorn in coastal living. With soaring volumes of natural light and a rooftop terrace built for entertaining, the home lives like a private retreat in the heart of Venice. Completely reimagined in 2017, the approximately 1,960-square-foot residence features clean modern lines, gallery-style walls ideal for art display, dramatic double-height Arcadia windows and doors, programmable recessed lighting with Lutron dimmers, and seamless indoor–outdoor living with front and rear balconies. The open-concept living area is anchored by a sleek Heatilator linear fireplace, built-in surround sound, and custom bar—perfect for hosting after a day at the beach—while the chef’s kitchen offers quartz countertops, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Bosch wall oven and built-in microwave, Bosch five-burner cooktop, extensive custom cabinetry, and over $100,000 in custom built-ins throughout the home. The king-sized primary suite is a true sanctuary with multiple seating areas, remote blackout shades, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath, while the upper-level en-suite bedroom opens directly to a private rooftop terrace with BBQ gas line, outdoor speakers, and space to dine and lounge under the stars with city-light views. Additional highlights include oak hardwood floors, frosted windows for privacy, LifeSource whole-home water filtration, tankless water heater, Nest thermostat, new HVAC, copper plumbing, ADT security with independent exterior cameras, and EV-ready parking including a garage, carport, and parallel space. The main sewer line was fully replaced in September. All of this is less than one block from the beach and minutes to Abbot Kinney, Main Street, and Venice Boulevard—surrounded by world-class dining and boutiques, yet tucked away in a private architectural oasis.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1960, other record living area = 1819. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
Auction Sale Process: The property is offered via a Luxury Live Auction, which may deter some traditional buyers or introduce uncertainty regarding the final purchase price and negotiation process.
Townhouse Structure & Shared Elements: As a penthouse townhouse, it involves shared walls and common area responsibilities, which might not appeal to buyers seeking a completely detached single-family residence.
Potential for Ambient Noise: Despite being a 'private oasis,' its prime location 'steps to the sand' and near bustling Venice attractions could expose residents to increased ambient noise and crowds, especially during peak seasons.
