Description

Take an express journey through the last century's design evolution here at bosky Woodrow Wilson Drive's best spot. Built in 1941 in the 'Minimal Traditionalist' style that anticipated postwar one-story houses, but with a steeply-pitched almost Norman roofline, the residence was expanded and opened to light and greenery with a loft-like intervention in the 1980s. One enters through a 2-story open-plan living room, with a mezzanine loft above. This space flows through into the dining area and a sun-filled family/media room to the left with its own hearth. The best of clean 1980s design with influences from the Streamline era continues in the expanded primary bath - part of a suite that, with its open beamed ceilings and orientation to the pool area, is classic California. The poolside elevation connects 1941 to 2025, as does the evocative prewar feeling of the completely rebuilt Cook's Kitchen open to the dining and family rooms. The successful balancing here of intimately-scaled bedrooms and subordinate areas to expansive space for large art pieces and entertaining is rarely so well achieved. Privacy at the property is close to complete, as the house is screened by carefully planned landscaping from the street and neighbors on a quarter-acre lot. A large auto court behind a gate off a shared driveway now features our new century's Minimalist best in the ADU by Luno Design Studio (2024). Hollywood at Home indeed: the sun deck over the ADU, in-ground spa and pool patio add places to sun-bathe while reading ... "Variety"; Didion; manga -- or Austen? As you prefer.
