533 Grand Blvd

Nestled in the most coveted enclave of Venice, just a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean and Abbot Kinney, 533 Grand Boulevard is a five-year opus by award-winning architects Nicholas Hopson, AIA and Klara Rodstrom. No expense was spared in this residence of monastic precision and understated grandeur, refined with finishes sourced from across the globe. Entry is through a dramatically recessed, extra-wide custom pivot door set deep within board-formed concrete. Inside, seamless, hand-troweled concrete floors, walls, and staircase are silently tempered by a state-of-the-art Messana hydronic radiant system that heats and cools objects before air, delivering draft-free comfort with exceptional efficiency. Golden California light floods the open living space through fourteen-foot frameless glass walls that vanish into the concrete for flawless minimalist lines. The living area flows effortlessly into a gallery-caliber kitchen appointed with bespoke Pedini cabinetry imported from Italy, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, MSG hardware, and dramatic full-height slabs of hand-selected granite. A fully integrated Sonos sound system and flush-recessed Lutron smart LED lighting, programmable scene by scene, allow mood and music to shift at a fingertip. Ascend by elevator or stair to the grand primary suite complete with his and her walk-in closets lined in Pedini millwork with integrated drawers and sleek LED illumination, and a spa-like bath anchored by a deep soaking tub and expansive steam shower. Crowning the residence is more than 1,500 square feet of rooftop living space thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas, a complete Wolf outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion, a raised fire-pit sundeck for sunset viewings, and a generous third terrace pre-wired and pre-plumbed for jacuzzi, garden, and solar, all framed by unobstructed 360-degree vistas from the ocean horizon to downtown Los Angeles. Sheathed in thermally modified wood siding with a 25-year warranty, this residence represents the rarest convergence of peerless location, refined craftsmanship, and timeless design on the Westside, an exacting masterpiece for the most discerning tenant.
