Retaining its period character and layers of historical meaning, the 5,618-square-foot home is both striking and inviting, with modern living and entertaining spaces rich in color, texture, and glorious light. In the living room, a streamlined wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves, walls ideal for displaying art, and a distinctive starburst chandelier are accompanied by windows that frame views of the front garden\u2019s lavish greenery. Inspired by the mountains of Southern California, a dramatic hand-painted wall treatment from the specialists at Britain\u2019s Fromental adds artful flair to the dining room. The delightful cook\u2019s kitchen features lilac-hued cabinets, a spacious marble-topped island, and full complement of stainless-steel appliances; adjoining are a charming breakfast area and a relaxed den wrapped in windows.

Private quarters are secluded on the uppermost level. Vaulted ceilings with natural wood beams lend the primary suite an airy, lofty feel. Banks of windows offer views of treetops, blue sky, and the iconic downtown skyline in the distance. Attending the bedroom are an elegant bath with a glass-enclosed steamshower, a soaking tub, and a dual-sink vanity as well as a boutique-worthy walk-in closet. Each of the four guest bedrooms is equally calming, colorful, and filled with light. Throughout, iron railings, hardwood floors, ceiling beams, and vintage-inspired fixtures and fittings hint at the home\u2019s provenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
