Description
A rare fusion of historic Venice charm and striking modern architecture, this redefined 1922 Craftsman stands as a design-forward masterpiece on one of the best streets in Venice. Completely reimagined with meticulous attention to detail, the residence achieves a seamless balance between soulful warmth and bold contemporary form. The home begins with the inviting scale of a classic Venice bungalow, warm and intimate, before unfolding into dramatic contemporary spaces at the rear. Walls of steel-framed glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, while exposed wood and architectural steel details ground the home in authenticity. The open-concept living and dining areas flow into a chef's kitchen defined by charcoal-stained cabinetry with brass hardware, poured concrete countertops, dramatic grey marble backsplash, and a suite of top-tier Sub-Zero and Bertazzoni appliances, a space both functional and artful. The primary suite is a private retreat perched above it all, framed by soaring butterfly ceilings, expressive wood-and-steel joists, and abundant natural light. A custom white oak walk-in closet leads to a spa-worthy bath featuring oak cabinetry, radiant heated concrete floors, Watermark fixtures, and full marble slabs that elevate every detail. Two additional bedrooms and a dramatic family room with double-height ceilings complete the main house, each space thoughtfully oriented to maximize scale and flow. A wall of glass at the back staircase rises floor-to-ceiling, casting the interiors in a constantly shifting glow and connecting seamlessly to the outdoor environment. Outside, the backyard transforms into a true entertainer's stage: a raised dining terrace, lounge seating, lush greenery, and a sleek pool that reflects the architecture like a mirror at dusk. The property also includes a versatile converted garage ADU, complete with accordion glass doors and a full bathroom finished with handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tile. In addition, a temperature-controlled wine room adds a refined architectural touch, combining function with sophistication. Together, these spaces provide unmatched flexibility, ideal as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, private gym or creative studio. Every element of this home reflects intentional design, elevated craftsmanship, and a deep connection to Venice's artistic spirit. It is not just a house, but an architectural statement, a Venice dream, realized.
