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.
