Description

Steps from the iconic Venice Canals and a short stroll from the beach, an exquisite new modern home offers stunning indoor and outdoor living spaces, and an unparalleled level of comfort and luxury.Realized with ultimate craft and care, the home is replete with architectural details and materials that conspire together to create a warmth and sophistication seldom seen even in world-class design and construction. This awe-inspiring home glows with daylight from dawn to dusk, and benefits enormously from its corner-lot position, with an immediate neighbor on one side only. The light, fresh breezes, and pervasive sense of openness are a rare suite of benefits in Venice.Designed by Paul Davis Architects, the project successfully blends triumphant indoor and garden spaces, and does so with a level of finesse and drama not often encountered. Its soaring double-height living room, broad and tall expanses of glass, and wide-plank rustic white oak floors invite the residents and their guests to a treasure-trove of architectural delights and amenities. Among them are a custom fireplace in a towering masonry inglenook, pervasive use of richly warm white oak paneling in the creation of ultra-refined casework that unites the dramatic glass-railed stair and the perfectly-appointed chef's kitchen, and use of natural stone and ceramic tiles that are as texturally remarkable as they are reflective of a classic and timeless modernity - one that is rooted in craft, interplay of colors, and delight in the observance of minute tolerances, as noted by only the most discriminating eyes.The level of quality in this striking home doesn't stop with its array of materials - finest Calacatta Marble, Zellige tile handmade in Morocco, natural walnut hardwood, and raw unfinished brass. Appliances, fixtures, and appointments are also of elite quality. Windows and doors by Fleetwood, kitchen appliances by Wolf, SubZero, and Miele, and bath fittings from Waterworks and famed designer Arne Jacobsen's classic Vola line further the sense of comprehensive excellence (and indulgence) that will be enjoyed daily. Perfectly suited to a family or homeowners who enjoy their solitude and (perhaps at times) guests, the home features a tucked-away ground-floor bedroom and bath suite that could also be used as a gym or home office, two roomy second-floor guest/children's bedrooms with en-suite baths and fully-appointed walk-in closets, and a private and secure primary suite with a sumptuous bath - a symphony of polished nickel, brass, and a shimmering array of elegant tile and stone and wall mirrors. A freestanding tub, ample steam shower, and full-length vanity complete the picture - but this room must be seen to be properly reveled-in. Adjoining the bath, the custom white oak primary closet is extensive and luxurious, and offers a delightful and unexpected view across the heights of the living room to the bridge-accessed glass-box "Reading Nook" projecting from the second-floor facade. Integrated privacy and blackout shades complete the picture in major spaces, and the entire home is served by Lutron lighting controls, and "Control 4"-system integration of sound, lighting, data, and security. Ample 2-car garage, mechanized rolling gate, dining-room view fountain, irrigation, stunning outdoor lighting, and extensive designer landscaping are additional attractions here. Which is not to mention the sunset roof deck (with recessed "love lounge") and fully integrated lights/sound. You will rarely see a home more suited to entertaining and deep enjoyment of daily life. 2801 Sanborn Avenue is an architectural masterwork that will bring extraordinary levels of warmth, comfort, and luxury to its residents. Here you will discover Venice Living at its peak, minutes from the beach.
