It may not be a mansion, but Eric Clapton’s former beach house is on the market and offers a truly unique experience for anyone looking for a new home. The property is located in Venice, CA, an area that has recently seen the revitalization and a newfound interest thanks to Google and Snapchat taking up residence in the area.
This property is steps away from the beach and offers the only home in the United States that was designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, who also designed the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. The furniture has also been widely acclaimed, designed by Klaus Rinke. The new owner can walk to art galleries, bars, restaurants, and a Farmers Market all on the pier and boardwalk that have been the backdrop for many movies and television shows.
The beach house has been reduced in price from $5.195 million to $4.75 million and is 2,920 square feet. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sleeping loft, a great room, kitchen, and formal dining room.
