Originally built in 1949 and designed by architect John Elgin Woolf, this stunning property went through a more recent renovation . It was important to the new owners of the home to make it more contemporary however still keep the historic and iconic touches of the space. The renovation took a total of 18 months. It used to have a lot of interesting features such as an elevator from the kitchen to the closet for the owner to be able to change her outfits mid event. What an iconic woman.

Aside from redoing the layout of the house the new owners also added a new smart-home system. It is so interesting to see how you can modernize a home while salvaging the history at the same time. The design done is just impeccable, the bar design itself is enough to speak volumes with its lacquered fiberglass finish. The stools are the perfect touch. You can see the flooring is so historic but the bar adds such a modern touch.

The current owners also converted the pool room into a Moroccan style sitting area. It contains bright colors and bold patterns, something you don't often see in a historic home. The furniture throughout is so handfully selected. The dining room area for example is so vintage and chic but it just works with everything else. The lounge area as well includes an ornate fireplace with furniture that helps modernize it.

The backyard includes a sunken living room by the pool. I think that alone is enough to sell the house. There seem to be a lot of fun areas to host and when you buy a house of this scale you are definitely a hoster. The new owner of this home will also hopefully preserve the originality of the home. We’re excited to see the future of this Bel-Air estate.
