Last week, Buck Mason co-founder Erik Ford and HGTV design star Leanne Ford listed their Venice, California, retreat for $4.45M. Purchased just months after the couple lost their historic Rustic Canyon bungalow in the Palisades Fire, the contemporary compound became a creative reset — one where Leanne put her stamp on.
518 Sunset Ave is a stunning blend of light, texture and intention. The 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom property includes a main residence and a two-story guest house, perfectly harmonized for elegant living. Step inside to soaring 14-foot ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, and sunlight streaming through skylights and accent windows.
The kitchen features Gaggenau appliances and marble and concrete countertops, while Fleetwood doors open to a private oasis with a heated saltwater pool and spa. The guest house mirrors the home’s refined design, offering a skylit great room, kitchenette, bathroom, and an upstairs en-suite bedroom. At 518 Sunset Ave, every detail feels like a work of art.
