Located just two blocks from Abbot Kinney, this modernist residence was designed by a legendary Los Angeles architectural firm. A Marmol Radziner masterpiece, the property is an integral part of the Venice residential landscape. This three-bedroom, three-bedroom home includes 2,880 square feet of living space. Priced at $5,495,000, 734 Palms Blvd, Venice, is listed by Juliette Hohnen with Douglas Elliman.
Designed by Marmol Radziner for founding partner Leo Marmol himself, the house reflects the firm’s approach to modernism and craftsmanship. The firm brings an incomparable level of prestige and attention to detail. They are known for working with high-profile creative clients and integrating fine art into residential projects.
The kitchen anchors the main level with a striking double-height ceiling, yet it still maintains a low profile that allows it to blend directly into the adjacent living space. Both the kitchen and the living area point towards a central atrium, reinforcing an evident Japanese influence and a constant visual connection to the surrounding botanical scenery.
Living and dining areas flow together in an open layout framed by expansive walls of sliding glass. When opened, the garden becomes a direct extension of the interior, filling the space with natural light. Concrete surfaces and blackened metal details appear consistently throughout the house, from stair rails and door hardware to built-ins and fixtures. These elements balance the warmth of the walnut millwork with contemporary touches.
A former open-air carport was transformed into a fully enclosed, wood paneled media room that now serves as a screening space and an additional living area. An office nearby adds flexibility for work, editing, and creative use without separating it from the rest of the home.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms continue the same earthy palette with walnut built-ins, integrated storage, and views oriented toward the garden. The millwork is custom throughout, giving each room a tailored feel while keeping the overall aesthetic consistent. Bathrooms are finished with Heath ceramic tile, chosen for its vibrant color and textured surface. The tile is paired with custom vanities and chrome metal fixtures.
One of the most notable spaces on the entire property is undoubtedly the outdoor living room. It measures approximately 700 square feet, an includes a fireplace and ceiling heaters. This home has been designed to optimize the Venice lifestyle.
Because the home was built to function as the original architect’s family home, there is an obvious respect for practicality and flow. Each design detail has been carefully chosen to enhance the living experience. This property is ready for its next caretaker to preserve its highly personal legacy.
