Venice is many things; a quintessential beach neighborhood, trendy foodie hotspot, hipster enclave, you name it. But most of all, it’s a unique slice of California that offers a completely different vibe — and its own take on waterfront living.
That’s why when it comes to real estate listings, Venice Beach falls into a category of its own. Every home that lands on our desk outdoes itself either in terms of unique architecture, picture-perfect interiors, or artsy features.
Today’s treat: a rare luxury waterfront home facing the Venice Canals that boasts interiors revamped by famed Italian design firm Boffi, that recently landed on the market asking $6,298,000.

Recently listed with F. Ron Smith and David Berg of Smith & Berg Partners at Compass, the Venice Beach house is located just a few blocks from vibrant Abbot Kinney and key attractions like the Venice Boardwalk and the Marina.
Its prime location places it right at the heart of the Venice Canals, recognized as one of the most unique neighborhoods in all of Southern California.
The specs: 5 bedrooms, 5 baths

The waterfront residence spans 3,816 square feet of luxuriously appointed living space, with a total of 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half-bath.
With several outdoor spaces and indoor-outdoor living areas to take in the Canal views, the home has quite a few standout amenities, including two rooftop decks — one with a cold plunge — and a canal-front deck that leads to a private barge.
Designer interiors revamped in 2021

Location aside, the Venice Beach house has elegant, refined interiors, thanks to an extensive 2021 renovation carried out by the esteemed Italian design firm Boffi — a globally renowned brand best known for its designer kitchens and bathrooms.
As a result, the home boasts sleek finishes balanced by rich textures like herringbone wood floors, a limestone gas fireplace, and metal accents, creating a space that looks like it was taken straight out of an interior design magazine.

And a canal-facing deck

Acting as an extension of the main living area is a canal-front deck equipped with an automatic canopy, firepit, and ample al fresco dining space. The deck also provides access to one of the home’s most unique amenities: a private barge.

In the heart of Silicon Valley, a newly built Menlo Park house recently came to market with a price tag that places it miles ahead of the competition.
The $14,200,000 house — located smack dab in central Menlo Park — is currently the most expensive house for sale (by far) in the tech-heavy city, which serves as home to social media giant Meta and is also where Google was born.
Fitting for a place that attracts tech’s brightest (and richest), Menlo Park’s real estate market is among the priciest in the country, with the median home sale price sitting at a hefty $2.6 million, according to Redfin’s data.
Priced at $14.2 million, the centrally located Menlo Park house is the most expensive home for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area city, with the runner-up asking almost a full $3 million less.
But a quick look at the 8-bedroom home makes it clear that the property is also the city’s finest option, pairing a stellar location with a gorgeous contemporary design that takes California’s iconic indoor-outdoor living trend to new heights.

Menlo Park’s most expensive home
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
Newly completed in 2024, the May Brown Avenue house sits on a 0.64-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac just moments from Menlo Park’s vibrant downtown.
With a stylishly appointed, contemporary main house, and an equally modern guest house, the Menlo Park property offers a total of 8 bedrooms and 8 full bathrooms, plus a half bath, and a large backyard between the two with a plethora of outdoor amenities.
Representing the property is Billy McNair with the McNair Group, affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California.
Developed by a tech-driven real estate company
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
The builder is the present owner, Nitin Handa, of Handa Developers Group — a Silicon Valley-based, tech-driven real estate development company that has developed a unique approach to acquisitions and construction, which allows them to complete every project within a set timeframe and budget.
Within 9 years, Handa Developers Group has completed more than 87 real estate deals, raising more than $77 million in capital to complete projects in three U.S. states.
Indoor/outdoor living defines the 7,600+ sq. ft. house

Given their track record, Handa Developers Group knew how to adapt their Menlo Park project to suit the needs of wellness-minded Silicon Valley buyers, and created a contemporary home that perfects the sought-after, indoor-outdoor living trend — which blurs the lines between the two spaces.
“The culture in Silicon Valley often emphasizes innovation and modern living,” Nitin Handa, Founder and CEO of Handa Developers Group, shares exclusively with Fancy Pants Homes. “When we began designing this estate, we immediately knew the property lent itself to an indoor-outdoor situation”.
Seamless transition from outdoor to indoor spaces

“We wanted to create a seamless and flexible living environment that would reflect the value aesthetics and functionality of this part of the Bay Area,” Handa tells us.
As a result, the Menlo Park house embodies the indoor-outdoor living trend to perfection, with its well-proportioned rooms being fitted with folding doors that open up to the outside areas.
More than a home, it’s a lifestyle

“1170 May Brown is more than just a home. It’s a lifestyle,” says listing agent Billy McNair, founder of McNair Group with Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California.
“Many people in Silicon Valley prioritize wellness, and there is a strong culture of socializing and entertaining. Indoor-outdoor spaces promote a healthy lifestyle and are perfect for gatherings, whether for casual barbecues or more formal events.”
Unassuming from the front

The house welcomes residents and guests with a circular motor court and an elegant facade that — despite its clean lines and polished look — doesn’t give away the luxury we find inside.

Past the pivot entry door, bright, light-flooded rooms come into view from the grand foyer.
Formal spaces greet guests

Here, formal spaces are ready to welcome guests, including a formal living room with a fireplace.

A formal dining room with a temperature-controlled wine display wall is on the other side of the foyer.
The heart of the home is a large, open floor-plan living area

The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen-family great room, a stylish and decisively contemporary living area that opens up to the party-ready backyard.
With a gourmet kitchen

The fully appointed gourmet kitchen features a large center island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a wet bar, and folding doors that seamlessly blend the interior and exterior spaces.
Cleverly masked appliances

As not to infringe on the contemporary design, many of the appliances have been cleverly masked (as were the electric outlets) to maintain a clean, modern look.
Living area with a fireplace

Completing this space is a lounging area with a large fireplace and comfortable seating.
The primary suite

Heading upstairs, we find the generously sized primary suite that has a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom, and access to an expansive terrace that spans the entire upper level of the home.
All bedrooms have en-suite baths

The upper level also includes a family lounge space and four other bedrooms, all en suite.

Additional amenities include a large recreation/media room with a wet bar, a main-level guest suite with private access, and a refined executive office.
Even the powder room is the epitome of luxury
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
Each space in the house has been carefully appointed with elegant, stylish finishes. So much so, that even the powder room (the only half-bath in the entire house) is ultra-luxurious.
Mudroom and utility areas
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
While we rarely pay much attention to utility rooms, in this particular case we have to give a nod to the beautifully designed mudroom, which expertly conceals a washer and dryer behind sleek, screened doors.
A media room with a wet bar

Another room of the house that nails the indoor-outdoor transition is the media (or recreation) room, a flexible space appointed with a wet bar that can have several uses.
The landscaped backyard is like an extension of the house

The large backyard area invites guests to step outdoors with its vibrant greenery and several seating areas.
Outdoor amenities

Outside we find a pool and spa, multiple entertaining terraces, an outdoor kitchen, a BBQ pavilion with bar seating, and privacy landscaping.
There’s also a guest house
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
Facing the pool is a one-bedroom guest house with a full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry facilities.
Equally stylish as the main house
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
Benefitting from the same indoor-outdoor living design, the stylish guest house mimics the clean, contemporary design present throughout the main house.
Located in the heart of Menlo Park
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
The house is located just a stone’s throw from Menlo Park’s downtown district on Santa Cruz Avenue, a lively street with plenty of options for shopping and dining, making it a great option for buyers looking to settle down in a vibrant, walkable area.
Now up for grabs for $14.2M
Photo credit: Open Homes Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
The newly built house is listed for $14,200,000 with Billy McNair of the McNair Group. And while the price point currently makes it the city’s priciest listing, its design and location — and proximity to top public and private schools, Stanford University, and major tech campuses — will likely turn it into Menlo Park’s most expensive home, as soon as a wealthy buyer lays eyes on it.

If Alanna Gold, Selling Sunset‘s newcomer agent, and her ultra-modern desert house left you yearning to see more of Pioneertown — the 1880s-themed town in San Bernardino County originally developed as a shooting location for Westerns — we have a spectacular find for you.
A nearly 13-acre desert oasis with a private compound (and its own boulder-topped mountain) recently came to market, and it’s quite the showstopper.
Previously featured in Travel + Leisure Magazine, the home is the birthplace of Mojave Desert Skin Shield, an organic, Ayurveda-inspired skincare line and wellness practice founded by Patricia Vernhes, who owns the property along with her husband, Nicolas.
It has also served as a healing place, where Patricia’s practice offered soothing sound therapy, facials, and tea meditation, and where integrated wellness retreats were held.
Consisting of a 5-bedroom main house, a fully air-conditioned ADU, and nearly 13 acres of desert land including a private boulder-topped mountain and breathtaking 360-degree views of surrounding mountain ranges, the compound is now listed for $2,890,000 with Angela Gollan at Compass.

The Pioneertown house sits on 13 acres close

The generously sized property spans 13 acres and is surrounded by mountain ranges and three flat-top mesas. Per the listing, it benefits from a unique microclimate 4,000 feet above sea level, which means it experiences cooler summers than nearby Joshua Tree and sunny, mild winters with occasional snowfall.
And has its own boulder-topped mountain
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
Adding to the calming desert views is the boulder-topped mountain included on the property, which acts like a fairly unique “amenity” in itself.
A reflection of its owners’ artful aesthetic
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
Heading into the Pioneertown house, bright, light-filled interiors are accented by vibrant pops of color and natural materials like wood and stone.
“Nicolas and Patricia have such great style and a really artful, beautiful aesthetic, and they have transformed this once dusty desert ranch house into an artist’s sanctuary and place of healing, with impeccable design and European sensibilities,” listing agent Angela Gollan tells us.
It has a grand living room with a fireplace

The living area is anchored by a fireplace, with vaulted beam ceilings towering over the space.
The open kitchen was recently upgraded

Right behind the living room, we find the recently upgraded kitchen, with a sunny dining area to the side.
Recording studio features

According to the agent, “The living room of the main home is wired as a Live room for recording, and the guest house is a recording studio!”
The house has 5 beds and 5 baths
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, the ranch-style house packs 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering calming desert views.
Unique bathroom finishes
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
The primary bathroom has a soaking tub and a unique stone-wall shower designed by the legendary “Pappy” of Pappy & Harriet’s fame (a famous local cantina used in countless old Western films like The Cisco Kid, The Range Rider, The Gene Autry Show, and Annie Oakley).
And a screened-in patio that seats 8
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
Right outside the living area, we find an expansive screened-in patio with a custom BBQ and seating for eight.
A fully air-conditioned ADU
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
A 450-square-foot, fully air-conditioned ADU with a full bath adds some great flex space that can be easily turned into a yoga or music studio, artist retreat, or guest suite.
Designed for wellness and relaxation
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
According to an older Travel + Leisure Magazine article featuring the property, owner Patricia Vernhes studied ayurvedic yoga therapy and apprenticed at Integratron — Joshua Tree’s fabled sound-bath temple — before settling down in the area and opening her own wellness practice on the serene desert property.
Here, she offered wellness services like sound therapy in the outdoor bath surrounded by 20 quartz singing bowls. She later developed her skincare brand, Mojave Desert Skin Shield, while living here.
Sustainability features
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
For sustainability and self-sufficiency, the home was outfitted with solar panels and a 600-foot well.
“The promise of the California Desert is still strong”
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
While the local real estate market isn’t immune to the challenges the entire state of California has faced recently, Gollan is confident that the area will continue to thrive:
“We’ve seen property values dip and homes sitting on the market much longer than in years prior. But the promise of the California Desert is still strong,” she says. “There is a lot of infrastructure out here now that was built during the last several years that isn’t going anywhere. The geological beauty and cotton candy sunsets aren’t going anywhere, and the community is still growing. So although we are seeing fewer people try to start Airbnbs in the Joshua Tree area, the wanderers will never stop heading this way to explore the mystic promise of the desert.
Located next to Sand to Snow National Monument
Photo credit: Jilbert Daniel / Compass
And the Pioneertown compound has that desert appeal in spades. Plus, it’s adjacent to the 154,000-acre Sand to Snow National Monument — an ecological and cultural treasure and one of the most biodiverse areas in southern California — promising uninterrupted views that will remain forever unspoiled.

In the Blue Mounds Driftless Area of Black Earth, Wisconsin, a $4,500,000 property offers ranch-worthy acreage, a grand 5-bedroom home, a custom horse barn, and a slew of standout amenities.
Among them: a private airstrip and helicopter pad, so the future owners won’t have to spend any time in traffic trying to get here.
The property is listed with Shelly Sprinkman of Sprinkman Real Estate — but not for long. The listing is already marked as “Contingent” on Zillow.com, which means Shelly may have already secured a buyer in the short time the house has spent on the market (it was listed merely a month ago).
So let’s take a quick look at this sprawling Wisconsin property — before a buyer takes it off the market.

Summing up the merits of the Blue Mounds property, listing agent Shelly Sprinkman with Sprinkman Real Estate tells us that “This beautifully updated home sits on an expansive 234 acres, offering a unique combination of amenities rarely found in one place.
“With its own airstrip, helicopter pad, private pond, and a custom barn featuring five horse stalls, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. It’s not just a home; it’s a lifestyle.”
The main house has over 5,000 square feet

At the center of it all stands a two-story home with 5,180 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a primary ensuite with vaulted ceilings.
The interiors have been extensively renovated

Originally built in 1993, the Wisconsin house has been extensively renovated at the hands of Associated Housewrights, a Madison-based residential design-build firm specializing in remodeling, additions, and new home projects for south-central Wisconsin clientele.
And feature an open floorplan and gourmet kitchen

“The custom barn, designed with five horse stalls, adds to the property’s unique appeal, making it perfect for equestrian enthusiasts or those looking for unparalleled space and luxury,” Sprinkman says.
A collection of outdoor amenities

Outside amenities include a spacious deck, a sweeping paver patio, covered seating areas with al-fresco dining, and a large pond visible from inside the house (and from most of the seating areas). The generous acreage also allows for many more amenities to be added.
Including an airstrip & helicopter pad
Photo credit: Menocal Pictures / Sprinkman Real Estate
The highlight of the property’s amenity roster caters to the ultra-rich: the Wisconsin house has an airstrip and helicopter pad, ensuring future owners won’t have to spend time in traffic when heading to their 234-acre Wisconsin compound.
“Nothing else like it” on the market
Photo credit: Menocal Pictures / Sprinkman Real Estate
As the listing agent rightfully points out, “This property represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in this area. There is nothing else like it currently on the market. With the combination of a beautifully updated home, extensive land, and extraordinary amenities, it’s an exceptional value at $4.5 million.”
But interested parties should act quickly, Shelly shares: “Given the current market conditions, this property is a rare gem that is unlikely to be available for long.”
Window of opportunity closing fast
Photo credit: Menocal Pictures / Sprinkman Real Estate
As previously mentioned, the house is already under contract, a little over a month after listing for sale, an unusually short amount of time for million-dollar listings, which typically take far longer to secure a buyer. This means Shelly was proven right when she said that it likely won’t be available for long.
Nevertheless, potential buyers should still reach out to her — just in case the deal falls through.

A mere 9 months after Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev splurged on a 6-bedroom home in the sought-after Beach Park neighborhood in Tampa, Florida, the 26-year-old NHL player listed the waterfront home for sale.
He didn’t have much choice though, as he won’t get to live in the 8,766-square-foot home after he was traded to Utah’s new expansion team.
The announcement that he would play for the still-unnamed team (now known only as the Utah Hockey Club) came on June 29. And just two days later, on July 1st, his Tampa home landed on the market with a $10,900,000 asking price (later adjusted to $10,600,000).
The house was newly built when the NHL player moved in last year, and it retains its glossy, freshly completed look — with the added perk that a star hockey player briefly called it home.

The NHL player, who won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021, hired Jennifer Zales with Coldwell Banker Realty to help him offload his Tampa abode.
The modern bayfront home, set in the sought-after Beach Park neighborhood, is listed for $10,600,000 following a minor price re-adjustment that cut $300k off the original asking price.
Built in 2023, the home has close to 9,000 sq. ft. of living space
Photo credit: Tony Sica Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
Completed in 2023 by Modesta Homes, the waterfront home has a generous 8,766 sq. ft. of living space with 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, a formal dining room, a movie theater, and quite a few standout outdoor amenities (including a waterfront pool with fire fountains). It also has a 10-car garage.
Given its waterfront location, the home was built with concrete blocks, impact windows/doors, and elevated living for flood risk reduction and optimal insurance premiums.
Interior finishes are pure luxury
Photo credit: Tony Sica Photography / Coldwell Banker Realty
The dramatic floating staircase, glass elevator, imported tile and custom lighting, and stylish interior design all work together to give the interiors an air of luxurious sophistication, softened by the expansive water views and large windows that flood the space with natural light.

Outdoor amenities include a custom waterfront pool with fire fountains, a floating spa, outdoor kitchen, along with dual sun decks, dock and dual lifts (16K and 6K).

Sitting on a 0.41-acre waterfront lot, the house was built by its current seller, David Hargreaves, a former Hasbro executive who, alongside his wife Linda, bought the lot back in 2010. On it sat a 2,000-square-foot ranch-style home that the couple razed in order to build the current structure.

With the help of DSDG Architect Mark Sultana and Voigt Brothers Construction, the Hargreaves built a nearly 6,600-square-foot home with a sleek design inspired by Sarasota’s School of Modern Architecture, and fitted it with some of the best modern conveniences.
The property features a 4-car garage, boat dock with two boat lifts, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a gourmet kitchen, a summer kitchen, and rooftop putting green with unobstructed Gulf of Mexico views.

The amenity that caught our eye — and likely, the all-cash buyer’s eye too — is the private rooftop terrace with 360-degree views. Made to appease golf lovers who like to take in the view while playing, the terrace is made of teak wood decking and a putting green turf.

Agent Nicholle DiPinto McKiernan noted that she usually lets the house speak for itself when taking part in showings — and this particular home had plenty to say when it mattered most.
For instance, on the day she showed the current buyer the property, dolphins were frolicking and jumping in the water in front of the house. “It is always a pleasure showing property owned by the Hargreaves. Their taste in architecture and pride of ownership is always apparent. We have sold multiple properties for them in recent years.”
Because the property has great water frontage
Photo credit: The Hover Bureau / Coldwell Banker Realty
The property sits on nearly a half-acre lot and offers approximately 75 feet of water frontage on New Pass, the waterway connecting Sarasota Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
As listing agent Roger Pettingell noted, “Waterfront homes like this do not come along that often in the Lido Shores/Longboat Key market—both the design and private location are a rare combination.”
It also has quite a few other notable features
Photo credit: The Hover Bureau / Coldwell Banker Realty
Beyond its rooftop putting green, generous water views, and killer location, the Sarasota house has a few other enviable attributes.
Impressive features inside and out include maple wood, terrazzo, and porcelain tile (with a glass finish) flooring, gas fireplaces, custom built-ins, a four-stop elevator, a Lutron lighting system, gorgeous bathrooms with stone-top floating vanities, four new air-conditioners (2022), three gas tankless water heaters, and an oversized four-car garage.
A well-deserved notch on the Coldwell Banker team’s belt

Pettingell, who is the top Sarasota Realtor for sales volume with Coldwell Banker Realty, achieved $113 million in sales in 2023 alone and was recently included on the 2024 RealTrends The Thousand list (published in The Wall Street Journal), for ranking among the Top 250 individual real estate agents in the United States.
Fellow listing agent Nicholle DiPinto McKiernan, a partner of the DiPinto Group at Coldwell Banker Realty, says that the landmark sale propels her team’s volume to north of $100 million in sales in the last 18 months.
Good marketing for the property played a big role

“Our marketing efforts for Westway Drive were very specific,” McKiernan shares in a press release. “We targeted prospects not only throughout Florida, but internationally as well. The Coldwell Banker global reach was a success as the buyer hailed from outside of Florida.”

Photo credit: Look2 Home Marketing
At the heart of this entertainment heaven is a custom 76,000-gallon pool — one of the largest in South Carolina, the listing claims.
This 76-foot-long pool comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect: a massive hot tub with a waterfall feature, a swim-up bar, and a commercial-grade variable lazy river that wraps around the pool.
Three infinity edges and a lazy river

Instead of your traditional infinity edge pool, the lake house’s pool sports a total of 3 infinity edges — one of which is 94 feet long, with multiple entrances for comfortable access for all ages.
There’s even a bridge to a jetted sundeck and an oversized sun-ledge splash pad for the kids.
The whole backyard lights up at night

To make the outdoor space stand out even more, the owners have also added unbelievable multi-color outdoor lighting that turns the whole backyard into a whimsical space after sundown. The lights are controlled via an app.
There’s also an outdoor kitchen & bar

The pool area wouldn’t be complete without a swim-up bar to enjoy refreshments. Steps away from the pool you’ll find an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and a grill area.

The location on Lake Murray is ideal for sunset views and offers easy access to the Lake Murray Dam, Bomb Island, and nearby waterfront restaurants and bars.

But interested potential buyers should move fast, as public records show the property already went under contract once before, despite having been listed just a few short weeks ago.
