A ‘world famous graffiti artist’ painted a mural on this iridescent California house

A vividly iridescent home that stands out in a sea full of beige has hit the real estate market in Venice, California, for $4.99 million.

The nine-bedroom, nine-bathroom building is named The Kinney, and it’s considered an “architectural masterpiece” near the Pacific blue. According to the listing on Compass, the property is made of separate stylish, three-story townhouse units.

Building features include:

  • Views

  • Private patios

  • High-end kitchens

  • Custom bathrooms

  • In-unit laundry

  • Tankless water heaters

“The Kinney on Nelrose is a rare find in the heart of Venice, and offers both an owner-user or investor with immense potential for appreciation,” listing agent John Swartz said in a release.

But the main draw is the colorful mural painted on the face of the building. It was designed by world famous graffiti artist Ruben Rojas, whose work can be seen all over the globe from New York City to France, his website says.

“By using the urban landscape as his canvas, Ruben encourages communities to change for the better through optimism and collaboration,” Rojas’ website says. “These once vacant walls are now vibrant reminders that inspire those who see them to dream big, feel beautiful, live in possibility, and to love.”
