California Cool at Mid-Century Modernist Architectural in Venice | 2008 Glencoe Ave.

2008 Glencoe isn’t just a house—it’s a piece of rock history translated into architecture. Redesigned from the ground up by architect Steven Ehrlich for rocker Perry Farrell, the mind behind Jane’s Addiction and Lollapalooza, the home channels the raw energy of a recording studio and the meditative calm of a California retreat.

This one-of-a-kind residence brilliantly fuses global influences with the soul of mid-century modernism. It just may be the definition of California Cool. Let’s start with the stunning pool: sleek, sexy, and secluded, it’s a wonderful private oasis built for long afternoons and moonlit swims.

Inside, a soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling sets the stage, while walls of sliding glass erase the boundary between indoors and out.

Venice has long been one of Los Angeles’ most distinctive communities, known for its eclectic character and creative energy. From its storied roots as a beachside cultural hub to its present-day reputation as a haven for artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries, Venice offers an unparalleled mix of coastal ease and urban vibrancy. Life here means being immersed in a neighborhood where surf culture, contemporary art, and architectural innovation coexist in a truly unique way.

At the center of it all lies Abbot Kinney Boulevard, a world-renowned stretch of boutiques, galleries, and destination restaurants. Often called the “coolest block in America,” it’s both a neighborhood gathering place and a global attraction. Living just minutes away, you’ll have extraordinarily easy access to the best of Venice, whether it’s a morning coffee run, a night out, or simply enjoying the energy of one of LA’s most iconic streets.

Musician Perry Farrell helped define the sound and spirit of alternative rock. His choice to commission this residence in Venice speaks to the area’s deep connection to artistry and innovation. Farrell’s influence on music and culture is deeply woven into the DNA of the home, which was conceived as a place for both personal retreat and creative expression.

Architect Steven Ehrlich is celebrated for his philosophy of “Multicultural Modernism,” which draws from his global experiences to create timeless, livable spaces. Known for designs that emphasize light, flow, and connection to place, Ehrlich brought these principles to life at 2008 Glencoe. The result is a home that not only reflects the spirit of Venice but also captures the essence of California modern design at its finest.

The spacious primary bedroom has awesome backyard views, great natural light, and custom cabinetry built-ins.

Its ensuite bath is massive and includes a soaking tub with glass sliders on two sides.

Plus dual sinks, a walk-in closet, and a separate shower.

The second and third bedrooms provide the same tranquil and motivating atmosphere as the primary suite.

The flexible studio spaces echo the improvisational spirit of Venice itself, ready to morph from intimate jam sessions to full-blown gatherings. Sculptural yet lived-in, bold yet deeply personal, the residence captures the restless creativity of its owner and the neighborhood that inspired it.

The expansive rooftop perfectly captures sweeping palm tree-top views and golden sunsets, offering an elevated escape above the heart of Venice.

And in an enclave where parking is its own kind of currency, the three-car garage/artists studio feels like a quiet exclamation point on a home that already speaks volumes.

2008 Glencoe is a rare Venice find, brilliantly fusing the calm of a retreat with all the inspiring charge of an artistic playground.
