About This Property

The personal residence of designer and builder Charles Ward, this home feels layered with purpose, not just designed -- where every space carries a point of view. Set on one of the larger lots in Venice, there's a rare sense of peace here. Light is intentionally invited through clerestory windows, French doors, and corridors. Spaces open up. There's privacy, quiet, and the kind of separation that allows you to think, create, and reset. Inside, the home unfolds like a wonderful book. Clean lines are softened by texture. Materials are layered in a way that feels warm, not precious -- designed to age, to be used, to tell a story over time. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels generic. The living spaces flow easily into the outdoors, creating a rhythm that suits both slow mornings and evenings with people you want to linger with. The kitchen sits naturally within the home -- connected, functional, and understated. Upstairs, the primary suite has a generous adjacent atelier, with a simplicity that lets the light and materials inspire your most beautiful work. A secondary suite upstairs acts as a wellness space and meditation altar -- whatever the next chapter requires. 714 6th Ave captures the essence of Venice: open sky, ocean air, and a place to step away without leaving home. Moments from Abbot Kinney and the beach, yet distinctly its own world. For those who value richness, quality, and character.

Striking Charles Ward Modern Compound in Venice Beach. Common to Brutalist-style architecture featuring block formations and other industrial materials, this incredibly rare property is a dream for aficionados. The heavily landscaped gated entry with 12-foot walls allows ultimate privacy. You're welcomed by a row of concrete pillars guiding you past the lap pool and a huge open hardscape pad for flexible uses. Immediately upon entering, you'll find the living room with fireplace & built-in concrete seating (a staple feature of Ward), tongue & groove ceilings and crafted plaster walls that are prominent throughout the whole home. Each room downstairs opens to the pool area but are intimate settings of their own. Downstairs offers 1- bedroom, 1-bathroom and an office along with a renovated kitchen and dining room. Upstairs boasts 2 primary bedroom suites complete with lounge areas with one of them providing a balcony overlooking the pool. Very unique opportunity in the center of Venice. The manager has listed the unit size as 2856 square feet.
