2230 Nottingham Ave

Published in Architectural Digest, this grand Spanish-style home stands in a private, lushly landscaped setting. Past the verdant front garden, the home opens to a foyer and unfolds in a series of formal spaces layered in light, color, and texture that are equally striking and inviting. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, holds space for either cozying up with a good book on the sofa in front of built-in shelves flanked by windows framing the greenery of the front garden or gathering under the dangling starburst chandelier with friends. A hand-painted abstract mural by Fromental of California's mountains sets a dramatic tone for the dining room. The kitchen is dressed in dusty lilac cabinets with a large island and stainless steel appliances, and flows into the breakfast area and the lounge-y den. The lower level features a family/screening room with a laundry room + bathroom. Upstairs holds the bedrooms, with the primary offering a walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom, and distant views of Downtown LA. Outside, lush rear gardens feature a swimmer's pool and a guest house currently used as a studio for a luxury collection of handmade vintage Moroccan rugs. Along with a detached 3-car garage.
