Set in the heart of West Hollywood, this residence reimagines a classic home originally designed as the personal residence of John Elgin Woolf, the architect celebrated for his iconic Hollywood homes. The owner felt an immediate connection to the house. She was drawn to its rare character and rich history and sought to honor its legacy while modernizing it with her own personal style.
New white oak floors flow throughout, complemented by a full interior and exterior repaint that adds warmth and architectural clarity. The interiors and outdoor patios have been fully refurnished with custom pieces that balance comfort and sophistication. A curated mix of vintage and contemporary lighting adds depth and contrast. Updated garden fixtures create a soft, inviting glow.
Art anchors the home’s identity. A collection of Salvador Dalí works inherited from the owner’s father is complemented by bespoke commissions. Thoughtful details—including new hardware and glass-paneled front doors and gates—bring cohesion and subtle texture. The result is a residence that feels timeless and deeply personal.
