About this home
Moments from Abbot Kinney and the beach, yet completely removed once the gates close, 554 Westminster is a home for thinkers, creators and innovators. It represents tranquility, wellness, nature and exceptional design in balance. There is truly nothing else like it. Hidden behind towering bamboo and mature hedges, the property exists as its own private world in the heart of Venice. It is a refuge from the energy outside; a place to slow down, think clearly, create, gather and reset. Green, light, wood and water form the language of the home, bringing nature into view from nearly every window. Originally conceived by notable Los Angeles architect Charles Ward, whose work is distinguished by clean lines, industrial structure and organic warmth, the residence was later reimagined by David Hertz, FAIA, the Venice-rooted pioneer of sustainable and regenerative design.

It is raw yet warm, dramatic yet deeply grounded, equally compelling as an architectural showpiece and a place of complete restoration. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed wood and steel, polished concrete and custom architectural glass create rooms of remarkable volume and texture. The kitchen anchors the main level with sculptural concrete surfaces, rich wood cabinetry, premium appliances, open shelving and built-in seating designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A bedroom on this level offers flexibility for guests or work. Upstairs, two en-suite bedrooms are joined by an expansive additional living space that overlooks the main floor beneath a series of skylights. A striking bridge of wood and steel leads to the private primary suite, where both the bedroom and bath open to a broad terrace overlooking the garden. At the center of the property's lifestyle is the newly completed, three-level wellness and guest retreat designed by Hertz. The ground floor brings together a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, outdoor shower and kitchen, creating a private environment devoted entirely to health and recovery. Above is an en-suite guest bedroom, while the rooftop becomes an extraordinary open-air entertaining space with a retractable television, fire pit, built-in barbecue and summer kitchen. Between the two structures, the backyard unfolds beneath a canopy of greenery with a swimming pool, spa, fire pit and multiple places to dine, lounge and connect. Tall bamboo and dense hedging provide exceptional privacy, w...
