In the sun-drenched, bohemian heart of Venice, California, Seann William Scott, the ineffable rogue best known for etching the indelible character Steven Stifler into the annals of cinematic lore in the 1999 bildungsroman “American Pie,” is severing ties with his architectural oasis. This composite haven, a blend of historical charm and contemporary audacity, is poised to change hands for a sum just shy of the $5 million mark. Scott’s ensemble of dwellings marries a 1,300-square-foot bungalow, a relic with roots deep in the past, and a striking glass-and-steel duplex—a testament to modernist luxury. A narrative of elegance and sophistication is weaved across 4,600 square feet of living space, encapsulating five bedrooms and six baths within its narrative fold.
Acquired by Scott back in 2017 for $2.2 million, this 5,148-square-foot lot was always intended as a canvas for profit through artistic transformation. The result is a space that speaks in light and shadow. The homes, now meticulously renovated, stand as a sanctuary behind a modern wood gate. Inside, the bungalow grounds itself with earthy tones and natural materials, while the main residence, with its southeast-facing glass facade, is a ballet of light, its rooms connected by a glass-floored catwalk that conjures a sensation of floating among the treetops.
Yet, beyond the tangible—beyond the stone surfaces, wardrobes, and Terazzo-tiled showers—lies the ephemeral. It’s in the seamless flow from indoors to out, where bifold glass doors erase the boundary between constructed space and natural charm. It’s in the communal areas, designed for vibrant conversation and tranquil repose, where one can indulge in the panoramic vistas of neighboring rooftops and cerulean skies. This compound is not merely a dwelling but a testament to the art of living, a mere stone’s throw from the pulsating heart of Venice, its boutiques, culinary delights, and the iconic sandy stretches that have captured the imagination of dreamers for decades.
Scott’s upcoming projects include action comedy film Grand Death Lotto, with John Cena.
