Description

812 Brooks Avenue is Venice done right: a design-forward smart home in the coveted Oakwood neighborhood just four blocks to Abbot Kinney and minutes to the sand. Reimagined and custom-built in 2018, this architectural residence blends Italian craftsmanship, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and fully integrated technology for an effortless, modern lifestyle. The showpiece is a kitchen you simply don't find in Venice: a bespoke Officine Gullo kitchen, handmade in Florence, paired with a full suite of Gaggenau appliances. With sleek cabinetry, an oversized island, and standout materials throughout, it's equal parts chef's workspace and entertaining centerpiece.The living area continues the home's calm, curated feel with Japanese-inspired built-ins and expansive glass openings that dissolve the line between inside and out, perfect for Venice's year-round coastal weather. This 3-bedroom, 4-bath home features a striking vertical layout and an open, light-filled floor plan. Radiant heated floors run throughout the main level and every bathroom, bringing that subtle, everyday luxury you feel the moment you step in. Technology is woven throughout via a fully integrated Savant smart home system, offering intuitive control of lighting scenes, climate, music, motorized shades, security, and entertainment from in-wall touchpads and your phone or tablet, whether you're at home or on the move. Audio is equally dialed: an integrated Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) surround sound system powered by Marantz amplifiers delivers a robust, crisp cinema experience and true audiophile-grade listening, with sound distributed throughout the home and outdoor areas. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat. The spa-style bath features custom vanities, a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, smart toilet, and Waterworks fittings throughout; refined, timeless details that elevate the everyday. Step onto your private terrace for sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains and city lights then pour a sunset cocktail from the built-in minibar as the sky turns on its nightly show. Outside, the backyard is designed like a private wellness hideaway: a fireplace lounge with built-in seating, a Japanese-inspired thermal soaking pool, and an outdoor shower made for slow mornings, relaxed evenings, and weekends with friends. Additional 2018 upgrades include automated solar shades, touchpad entry points, a full security camera system, gated entry with automated carport, and drought-tolerant landscaping designed for privacy and sustainability. Every detail was hand-selected and customized by the current owners during the 2018 renovation. No shortcuts, no compromises. Set in one of the Westside's most vibrant, creative communities, 812 Brooks Avenue puts Abbot Kinney's best restaurants, boutiques, and cafes within easy reach, with Venice Beach, the Canals, and Marina del Rey just minutes away. A rare opportunity to own a custom, design-led, tech-forward Venice home where craftsmanship, architecture, and coastal living come together seamlessly.
