819 Milwood Ave, Venice, CA, 90291

Designed as a retreat from the urban environment, this discreet home and studio, on a large double lot, is the archetype legacy Venice property. Surrounded by botanical garden-quality landscape, with specimen plants from South Africa and Madagascar, the main residence evokes zen-like tranquility. Natural daylight softly bathes the interiors, with framed views to the outdoors. Meticulous attention was paid to every detail of the home. The working studio, designed by award-winning architect Steven Ehrlich, has soaring 30-foot-ceilings and is currently used as a painting atelier and a production office. Past uses include photography, sculpture and a music & dance space. Its perfect as a large-scale, work-from-home solution or a significant car collection. The flexible layout includes a two-office loft and a full studio apartment known as "The Treehouse," with a kitchen and laundry room. A generous outdoor roof deck has views to the ocean.
