The story
Steps from the iconic Venice Canals and moments from the beach, 2801 Sanborn Avenue is an exceptional modern architectural residence designed by Paul Davis Architects built in 2025 offering 3,426 square feet across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in an extraordinary combination of refined design, craftsmanship, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Ideally positioned on a coveted corner lot with only one immediate neighbor, the home is filled with natural light, coastal breezes, and a remarkable sense of openness. A dramatic double-height living room anchors the interiors with soaring expanses of glass, wide-plank rustic white oak floors, a monumental custom fireplace, and beautifully integrated white oak millwork. The chef's kitchen features Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, complemented by an exceptional material palette of Calacatta marble, handmade Moroccan Zellige tile, natural walnut, raw brass, Fleetwood windows and doors, Waterworks fixtures, and Vola fittings. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a private ground-floor bedroom suite ideal for guests, office, or gym; two spacious upstairs secondary suites with en-suite baths and walk-in closets; and a secluded primary retreat with an extensive custom white oak dressing room and spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub and steam shower. A bridge overlooking the double-height living space leads to a distinctive glass-enclosed reading nook. Integrated privacy and blackout shades, Lutron lighting, Control4 automation, whole-home audio, data, and security provide seamless modern living. Additional features include a two-car garage, mechanized rolling gate, dining-room view fountain, designer landscaping, irrigation, and extensive outdoor lighting. Crowning the residence is a spectacular sunset roof deck with a recessed lounge and integrated lighting/sound for exceptional entertaining above Venice sunsets. Sophisticated yet inviting, 2801 Sanborn Avenue represents Venice living at its finest, minutes from the canals, beach, dining, and the best of the Westside.
