About this home
Situated in Venice's coveted Silver Triangle, welcome to this architectural home designed by David Hertz, known as The Butterfly House, a rare union of design pedigree and effortless livability, thoughtfully crafted for coastal life at its most elevated. Past a discreet facade, the house opens in one sweep: pocketing walls of glass dissolve the boundary between the great room and a lush, private courtyard where a slender lap pool and spa run alongside warm decking and verdant living walls. Inside, engineered teak floors and soaring ceilings set a calm, modern tone, while the open kitchen integrates appliances and beautifully detailed cabinetry, framing everyday life and easy entertaining. The flow is intuitive: dine with the sliders open to the outside, linger by the sleek fireplace, then drift upstairs along a sculptural stair to a mezzanine that overlooks it all. Performance quietly powers the experience. Radiant-heated floors carry warmth throughout. A full Crestron system puts the home in your pocket, open and close windows, tune whole-home surround sound, and manage heat in every zone thanks to split systems in each room. The structure is engineered for longevity and quiet, from robust glazing and invisible hinges to an exterior air barrier with stainless-steel cladding accents. The house even self-ventilates for fresh air, while extensive wiring and interior/exterior security cameras provide modern peace of mind. The private primary suite is a sanctuary: a sunlit retreat with custom-built-in storage, terrace-like views into mature greenery, and a generous walk-in closet. Its spa-level bath pairs a freestanding soaking tub with a glass shower and dual vanities, all bathed in soft natural light, an everyday ritual made luxurious. The second and third bedrooms are thoughtfully placed, with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that maximizes flexibility for family or guests. Two laundry rooms simplify daily rhythms, and the rear building's interior walls are non-structuraloffering future-proofing for whatever you imagine next. Sustainability is built in, not bolted on. Solar power and solar thermal tubes preheat domestic water before it reaches the heater, with any surplus heat directed to the pool; the home runs predominantly electric with a single auxiliary gas burner. From African mahogany Sapelle doors to exceptionally strong glass, every material choice reflects lasting quality. And because everything is wired and thoughtfully automated, you can arrive to comfort, windows, music, and radiant heat set just how you like, at the touch of a phone. Moments to the Venice Canals, Abbot Kinney, Rose Avenue, and the beach, this move-in-ready residence distills the best of the Silver Triangle: an architectural statement that lives beautifully, functions intelligently, and delivers resort-style tranquility right where you want to be.
