Last summer, Jim Offield, grandson of William Wrigley, Jr., founder of Wrigley’s chewing gum, picked up a flashy contemporary in trendy Venice, California. Offield dropped a little less than $5.7 million for the 2003-built home before renovating it extensively, but it was not a labor of love. He recently listed the house, asking $12.95 million, a handsome return for a yearlong investment.

The home dates to 2003. It is an H-design, with a pair of wings linked by interior and exterior common areas. It measures 5,100 square feet, and contains four bedrooms and five baths.

The home’s interiors aren’t as open as you might expect; the layout is somewhat compartmental, with the exception of the kitchen/dayroom/family room progression. Interior architecture and design owes a lot to Asian influence, but industrial influence and modern design elements may also be spotted. The kitchen features stainless countertops, as well as minimalist cabinets in teak; the Southeast Asian hardwood reappears as a motif. Floors are concrete, hardwood or granite. Ceiling lighting may be recessed LED or ornamental Japanese lantern-style.

The built-ins in the family room, and the striking contemporary chandelier in the dining room, add the visual interest and playful quality that provides the necessary levity to balance out the emphasis on geometric methodology. Occasionally, the house comes across as downright cozy, fitting a corner sitting area into the master, and an extensive array of built-ins in the office.

Aside from the Japanese-style attached courtyard, and another courtyard which is detached, the property’s exterior includes a guest house. The lot is comprised of three parcels.

This spring, Offield sold a waterfront modern-style residence in Fort Lauderdale for $7.25 million; he’d purchased the home in 2014, for $4.7 million.
