Every now and then, a Hollywood property rich with history and heritage hits the market, and as a celebrity style editor, I am always fascinated by the way a property evolves with its owners.
This stands true for a property that counts Audrey Hepburn, Deborah Kerr, and Edwin and Mildred Knopf, brother and sister-in-law of publisher Alfred Knopf, among its owners.
The 1939 build, a Georgian property with Southern details located in Brentwood, California, spans a sprawling 31,163 square feet, with five bedrooms, six and a half bedrooms, and a lush backyard with a pool. Listed for the first time in 34 years (for just under $11 million), we can see why this home is so popular with high-profile residents. Let's take a closer look.
The reception room mixes warm, traditional pieces with contemporary details for an inviting and engaging space. From the Persian style rug to the marble fireplace to the antique coffee table, the space is visually appealing and perfect for small and large gatherings alike.
The formal dining room is pretty spectacular, with hand-painted, red and white Gracie wallpaper surrounding the wood table. A lantern-style chandelier is a stunning accent, adding volume to the room.
This home is certainly not afraid to play with color, as we can see in the green, banquet seating area. The mix of scale with checker prints, from the classic tiled floors to the more geometric wallpaper, makes for a delightful space. The clear bench seating adds a modern element.
The chef's kitchen is contemporary, with stainless steel appliances and garden-view windows allowing plenty of light to shine through. The antique wood shelving unit is the perfect place to display valuable dishes and wares.
The bedroom, meanwhile, mixes soft neutrals (including this year's it color, butter yellow), with elegant details, like the crystal chandelier.
