Description

Originally owned by American actress Audrey Christie and located moments from the cafs, restaurants, and boutiques of Melrose Place, this thoughtfully reimagined Spanish residence is a hidden retreat tucked privately behind gates, where original character meets contemporary design. Reinvented by House of Shoor, known for its thoughtful, design-driven approach to restoring and reimagining architecturally distinctive homes, the home retains the warmth and romance of its Spanish architecture while introducing a modern, highly livable sensibility. Hand-finished smooth plaster, reclaimed terracotta tile, natural oak, terrazzo, original brass fixtures, arched wood doors, and custom steel-and-glass windows create a layered material palette that feels both timeless and distinctly Los Angeles. Oversized limestone tiles flow seamlessly from the interior to the outdoor spaces, further blurring the line between inside and out. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom floor plan includes a spacious main-level primary suite with direct access to the pool and outdoor spaces. Throughout the home, courtyards, arched doors, and expansive glass openings create a seamless connection between indoors and out. The home's distinctive design has been featured across publications and media including Architectural Digest, Vogue Australia, Robb Report, Yahoo Lifestyle, and Behind the Gates. At the rear of the property, a separate flex space surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass offers an incredible extension of the homeideal as a private office, creative studio, gym, guest retreat, media room, podcast studio, or additional living space. Outside, multiple spaces are designed for both entertaining and everyday living, from intimate courtyard dining beneath string lights to the private heated pool and spa surrounded by mature greenery. A sauna with smart-home capabilities adds another layer to the property's private retreat-like setting. Smart-home capabilities throughout add modern convenience while preserving the home's original character. A true hidden gem combining architectural character, privacy, and modern California living.
