66 DIGS.NET | 2.7.2020 A - L I S T I N G | 6 3 9 S A N TA C L A R A A V E N U E M A R K E T xtensively remodeled in 2016, this 4,280-square-foot resi- dence in Venice Beach not only is overflowing with ultra-luxe design elements, but also offers easy access to the beach, as well as popular Abbot Kinney restaurants and boutiques such as Intelligentsia, Felix and e Butcher's Daughter. What's more, it also has the added cache of having been planned and permitted before L.A.'s anti-mansionization ordinance that restricts how big single-family homes can be and went into effect in 2017. at means there's more square footage than actually can be included in a newly- built home in this market. "If buyers are looking for this much square footage, they can no longer build west of Lincoln," says Kerry Ann Sullivan, who is co-listing the four-bedroom property at 639 Santa Clara Ave. with Tami Pardee, both of Halton Pardee + Partners, for $4.495 million. "ey have to hope that properties built before this zoning law went into effect come onto the market." Within this sizable home is a dramatic, oversized pivoting front door that opens to reveal an abundance of open, light-filled living space on three levels rife with soaring ceilings, white oak flooring and chic designer lighting from Lindsey Adelman Studio. Among the highlights: a sleek Boffi kitchen boasting marble countertops, a large center island and Miele appliances; living room with built-in Poliform library/entertainment center; and spacious master retreat sporting a private deck, expansive Poliform walk-in closet and chic bath sheathed in book-matched Italian marble. In addition to a rooftop deck that offers up breathtaking panoramic views, other standout features are walls of stunning floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a custom pool and spa. "When you're inside the home, which is oriented to the southeast so you get beautiful morning sun, the oversized floor-to-ceiling windows are really striking, adding natural light and glamour," says Sulli- van. "What is so special is that typically, if you have a pool, it's just a backyard feature. But, in this case, the windows make it act like a water feature." Behold—a glamorous yet welcoming home awash in space in one of Venice Beach 's best pockets, tucked right off of Abbot Kinney.
