M A R K E T n Venice, this three-story glass and steel single-family home is part of a trio that offers a modern twist on San Francisco's iconic Painted Ladies. Co-developed by Alon Zakoot of Alon Zakoot Design Studio and Michael Vaknin, The Glass Ladies are three avant-garde properties ideally located at 836, 838 and 840 California St. in Venice, California. "Utilizing vertical space, we have taken the exterior entertaining area from the street- level to the rooftops capitalizing on the fresh breeze and 360-degree views of the ocean, 1,000 palms, and of the snow-capped mountains even in the sunny Southern California community of Venice," says Zakoot. The first of this trilogy, Lucia, is situated at 840 California St. and listed for $6,200,000. It is spread over 4,200 square feet and comprises five bedrooms and five bathrooms. A voluminous foyer with exotic pattern, texture and color is an invitation to discover the rest of the interiors consisting in the formal living room, kitchen with double-waterfall island and indoor/ outdoor lounge with bar, complemented by the exterior area with a barbecue and saltwater pool. Upstairs hosts the primary suite with walk-in closet and private balcony as well as three bedrooms. The 839-square foot rooftop features two outdoor kitchen areas and an underwater viewing window to the pool, plus a theater with built-in mini bar. "When it comes to high-end, one-of-a-kind custom homes, I love exploring a building's personality, and take it quite literally," says Zakoot. "When you visit a home, you should feel the presence of the space: inspired, livable, prestigious and uniquely its own. Lucia, Lady of Luxe evokes a sense of character that is not intended for the average homeowner, with some disregard to conventional design theories. I created an authentic exploration rather than an attempt to check all the right boxes." For agent Sally Forster Jones of Compass, the success of this new three-home collection lies in each home's design which, she says, matches the "effervescent vibe and cultural landscape of this rejuvenated and beloved beach town in its own special way."
