The new trio of mansions is inspired by the "Painted Ladies," a group of colorful Victorian buildings on San Francisco's Postcard Street. The "Glass Ladies" were designed by Alon Zakoot and built over a seven-year period.

"There's nothing like it in Venice. You have three separate houses, all designed in the style of the Painted Ladies of San Francisco," explains Sally Forster Jones, listing agent for Compass." It's unique. It has character. It has character."

The 4,200-square-foot house, built mostly of glass and steel, has five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.

"Someone will see it from the outside and be immediately drawn to it, and you don't know what you're going to find inside," says Foster Jones." It's luxurious. It's glittery and has a Hollywood feel to it. It just captures your imagination."

Lucia, which means "light" in Latin, "represents the bright and luminous atmosphere of the residence," the agent explained. The other two houses are named Loren, Lady of Deco and Maya, Lady of Botanica. Lucia is already completed, while the other two are "99 percent".

"It was all his vision," Foster-Jones said of Zakut." Each of the glass ladies is separate, but there is a cohesiveness in that they are all unique, with glass on the outside and lots of light. They're also different and unique on the inside. When you walk in, you immediately feel the difference in them."

Lucia comes with a pool, which is a rarity in Venice, she says. There's also a rooftop terrace.

"There's a lot of outdoor space, one on each of the four floors, which is part of Southern California's beach town and indoor-outdoor living. The rooftop has a large seating area with a fireplace," she says.

The lowest level of the residence has an underwater viewing window to the pool, a home theater, and a secondary master suite with a fireplace and outdoor living room.

The main master suite is upstairs and has a private balcony.

"It makes you happy," Foster-Jones said of Lucia." Just entering the house took my breath away. The creativity and imagination that went into developing this is really remarkable."
