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."
