Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1988, this designer-built home shows evidence of high-end updates and meticulous maintenance. The kitchen features a modern Wolf range and contemporary minimalist cabinetry, suggesting a renovation within the 5-15 year range. The polished concrete floors, plaster walls, and architectural systems appear functional and move-in ready, elevating it above the standard age-based 'poor' or 'fair' categories.
As the personal residence of designer Charles Ward, the home features intentional architectural details, clerestory windows, and high-quality materials that offer a unique character rarely found in speculative builds.
The 5,658 square foot lot is notably larger than the standard Venice parcel, providing a rare sense of privacy, peace, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow in a high-density coastal neighborhood.
Ideally situated just moments from the world-class dining and shopping on Abbot Kinney Boulevard and the beach, offering the perfect balance of a secluded retreat and urban coastal lifestyle.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Built in 1988, the property may require updates to its core systems or aesthetic finishes to align with the expectations of modern luxury buyers seeking contemporary amenities.
The current list price is slightly lower than the 2015 sale price of $3.529M, suggesting the property has not followed the typical upward appreciation trend of the surrounding Venice market over the last decade.
The personal residence of designer and builder Charles Ward, this home feels layered with purpose, not just designed -- where every space carries a point of view. Set on one of the larger lots in Venice, there's a rare sense of peace here. Light is intentionally invited through clerestory windows, French doors, and corridors. Spaces open up. There's privacy, quiet, and the kind of separation that allows you to think, create, and reset. Inside, the home unfolds like a wonderful book. Clean lines are softened by texture. Materials are layered in a way that feels warm, not precious -- designed to age, to be used, to tell a story over time. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels generic. The living spaces flow easily into the outdoors, creating a rhythm that suits both slow mornings and evenings with people you want to linger with. The kitchen sits naturally within the home -- connected, functional, and understated. Upstairs, the primary suite has a generous adjacent atelier, with a simplicity that lets the light and materials inspire your most beautiful work. A secondary suite upstairs acts as a wellness space and meditation altar -- whatever the next chapter requires. 714 6th Ave captures the essence of Venice: open sky, ocean air, and a place to step away without leaving home. Moments from Abbot Kinney and the beach, yet distinctly its own world. For those who value richness, quality, and character.
