Venice Beach house on the Canal has luxe interiors, private barge

Venice is many things; a quintessential beach neighborhood, trendy foodie hotspot, hipster enclave, you name it. But most of all, it’s a unique slice of California that offers a completely different vibe — and its own take on waterfront living.

That’s why when it comes to real estate listings, Venice Beach falls into a category of its own. Every home that lands on our desk outdoes itself either in terms of unique architecture, picture-perfect interiors, or artsy features.

Today’s treat: a rare luxury waterfront home facing the Venice Canals that boasts interiors revamped by famed Italian design firm Boffi, that recently landed on the market asking $6,298,000.

Canal living in Venice Beach

Recently listed with F. Ron Smith and David Berg of Smith & Berg Partners at Compass, the Venice Beach house is located just a few blocks from vibrant Abbot Kinney and key attractions like the Venice Boardwalk and the Marina.

Its prime location places it right at the heart of the Venice Canals, recognized as one of the most unique neighborhoods in all of Southern California.

The specs: 5 bedrooms, 5 baths

The waterfront residence spans 3,816 square feet of luxuriously appointed living space, with a total of 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half-bath.

With several outdoor spaces and indoor-outdoor living areas to take in the Canal views, the home has quite a few standout amenities, including two rooftop decks — one with a cold plunge — and a canal-front deck that leads to a private barge.

Designer interiors revamped in 2021

Location aside, the Venice Beach house has elegant, refined interiors, thanks to an extensive 2021 renovation carried out by the esteemed Italian design firm Boffi — a globally renowned brand best known for its designer kitchens and bathrooms.

As a result, the home boasts sleek finishes balanced by rich textures like herringbone wood floors, a limestone gas fireplace, and metal accents, creating a space that looks like it was taken straight out of an interior design magazine.

Large, open-floor main level overlooking the canals

The heart of the home is the expansive, open-plan main level, bathed in natural light from large windows and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that overlook the canal.

A gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances

The gourmet kitchen with its clean, sleek design, comes equipped with high-end Gaggenau appliances, temperature-controlled wine storage, a walk-in pantry, European-style lacquer cabinetry, and Calacatta countertops.

A sunlit family room with a wet bar

Heading upstairs, we find another great space for the family to gather, a sunlit family room that also has a wet bar with a dishwasher.

The primary bedroom has soaring ceilings

The primary bedroom is a serene retreat with high ceilings, a spacious custom closet, and a lavish ensuite bath.

A primary bathroom with a marble-clad shower

A luxurious escape in itself, the ensuite bath comes with a marble-clad steam shower, a soaking tub, and an accent wall of Domenico Mori handmade clay tiles.

State-of-the-art home tech throughout

The house has a private elevator, as well as state-of-the-art home tech like the Crestron home automation system, surround sound, and a Lifesource whole-house water filtration system.

The house has two rooftop terraces, one with a cold plunge

The Instagram-worthy outdoor space comes with 360-degree views, two rooftop terraces — one with a cold plunge — and plenty of room to lounge and entertain. The deck is surrounded by glass walls, so views are completely uninterrupted.

And a canal-facing deck

Acting as an extension of the main living area is a canal-front deck equipped with an automatic canopy, firepit, and ample al fresco dining space. The deck also provides access to one of the home’s most unique amenities: a private barge.

There’s also a private barge

For future residents who want to take the party on the water, the waterfront home comes with a private, motorized barge that’ll allow them to cruise the canal and enjoy breathtaking sunsets.
