Pitched Ceilings and Light-Filled Spaces in a Venice Canals Home
Set along the storybook waterways of the historic Venice Canals, this remarkable home feels less like a residence and more like a carefully curated work of art.
Tucked behind a gated walkway and framed by lush greenery, the property immediately reveals its eclectic spirit, an inspired blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and relaxed coastal living.
The house belonged to jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth, who enlisted the help of her friend and interior designer Sarah Shetter to design this beautiful light-filled abode in one of the nicest areas of Los Angeles.
Inside, the home unfolds as a vibrant jewel box of design, where every corner reflects a thoughtful eye for detail. Completely remodeled, the three-bedroom residence celebrates both originality and warmth.
Soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams preserve the character of the original structure while filling the space with light and volume. The living room sofa is upholstered with the Lotus Garden fabric by Schumacher.
A niche in the living room is fitted with a built-in desk and storage. The large artwork above the desk is by Geraldine Neuwirth.
The main living areas flow effortlessly together, anchored by a spacious gourmet kitchen that invites gathering and connection.
The entire wall is fitted with shelving, creating a dynamic display for art and decor. Below the windows, a cozy window seat has been fitted with velvet pink-hued pillows.
Outfitted with a Wolf range and a generous dining space at its center, the kitchen becomes the heart of the home. The sculptural ladder climbing the kitchen wall becomes part of the home’s distinctive personality.
A butler sink with brass faucets sits under the window overlooking the garden.
The powder room is decorated with the Liberty London Kristina wallpaper.
Upstairs, the home continues to unfold across the second and third levels. Two guest bedrooms and a shared bath provide comfortable accommodations, while the primary suite offers a serene escape. Designed with a calming, natural palette, the suite feels like a sanctuary.
The master suite features a large combined bathroom and dressing room.
The shower is decorated with small blush-pink tilework.
One of the bedrooms is decorated with the Strawberry Tree wallpaper by Cole & Son.
At the top of the home, a private rooftop deck becomes the ultimate reward. Surrounded by foliage and overlooking the picturesque canals, it offers a tranquil perch for watching the sun dip into the Pacific, and the sky glow with the colors of a classic Venice sunset.
A romantic courtyard framed by two olive trees offers a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening conversation, while greenery throughout the property enhances the sense of privacy and tranquility.
