There are two adjoining houses called the Palazzo Soranzo in the Campo San Polo, San Polo 2169-2171, Nadali & Vianello (1999) Tav. 28. Palazzo Soranzo is listed without comment at Notebook M2 p.34.
For a photograph showing the general layout of the two houses see here.
The house described by Ruskin at Notebook M p.207L as having circular marbles and fluid 6th order windows with cherubs is said by him at Notebook M p.208L to be on the right side as you face it. It has 6th order windows on the first floor and 5th order windows on the upper floor. At the top of Bit Book p.8 there is what seems a first draft of the description at Notebook M p.207L (continued onto Notebook M p.208L) of the house on the right.
There is an image of the house on the right here, and below:

Ruskin suggests that the house on the left is the more important. It is discussed at Notebook M p.208L, and at the bottom of Bit Book p.8. The illustration at Bit Book p.9 is of a cusp on the top storey of the house on the left.
See Works, 9.321 for the English dogtooth moulding there.
There are illustrations at No 9 of Plate IX facing Works, 9.318 and Fig.12 of Plate 2 facing Works, 11.12.
There is a photograph of the house to the left in Quill (2000) p.106 and below:
