Property Description
Shortridge created this home as a personal expression of thoughtful design, emphasizing continuity over time and a strong connection between interiors and the outdoor landscape. Warm Douglas fir ceilings with a refined ceiling reveal, custom cabinetry throughout, and a sculptural floating staircase reflect a level of craftsmanship seldom found in residential architecture. The home balances intimacy, light, and connection to the outdoors.
Though modest in scale, thoughtfully composed outdoor living environments extend the residence beyond its interior footprint, inviting year-round enjoyment of Southern California's climate. The grounds feature multiple intimate settings, anchored by two gas-fired fire pit lounges and a serene water feature—ideal for entertaining and retreat.
The landscape was designed by acclaimed landscape architect Jay Griffith, transforming the property into a private sanctuary deeply integrated with the architecture. After purchasing the property directly from Shortridge in 2013, the current owner commissioned him to design a second-floor addition. Shortridge created a cantilevered, floating second story and incorporated state of the art sound-proofed windows throughout the home to create a still and serene environment. This true architectural masterpiece was the last project Shortridge worked on before his untimely passing.
This two-bedroom, two-bath retreat offers a quiet, calming atmosphere with abundant natural light and views of surrounding greenery. The downstairs bedroom—currently used as a living and music space—features a sliding pocket door that preserves vintage character while offering flexibility and privacy. The upstairs suite includes heated flooring and a radiant-heated balcony.
The kitchen preserves the home's original character with original window casings integrated into refined contemporary cabinetry and a curated suite of premium appliances.
Additional features include one-car parking with EV charging, undergrounded electrical wiring, and whole house water purification system. Ideally located just blocks from Abbot Kinney Boulevard and moments from the beach, canals, and the coastal lifestyle that define Venice living.
