Property Description

"Maison Lumiere", or "House of Light", is a touch of the South of France in the heart of West Hollywood. Luxe Magazine Los Angeles published in late 2021 - "a tall ficus hedge shields the house from the street, and when stepping through its front gate - gravel crunching underfoot - rather than the hum of nearby Melrose Avenue, there is birdsong and the burble of an aged stone fountain." -(See link to the Luxe magazine feature below.)On the most coveted block in town - with easy walkability through a beautiful neighborhood to the best restaurants and boutiques - sits this stunning French Country House. Completed in late 2019, the home and gardens exude style and quality. French limestone welcomes you at the securitized gates into a landscape of mature, non-fruiting olive, palm, cypress and fruit trees and sculpted greenery. Pass a usable front yard with plumbed fountain to the entry, where glazed doors are framed by Bevelo copper gas lanterns. 19th C clay roof tiles, working wood window shutters and copper gutters and screens add a sense of age and grandeur to the exterior.Once inside, the first thing one notices is the incredible light - enhanced by high ceilings and custom French doors and windows with clerestories. Off a large entry way are the formal living and dining rooms which include custom millwork. Other high-end finishes include herringbone French oak floors, custom cabinetry and closets, solid brass hardware, marble and hand-troweled plaster fireplace mantles, marble kitchen and baths, and custom and vintage lighting throughout. The gourmet kitchen has Miele built-in appliances, while the house offers AV, sound and security systems on iPads.The first floor also includes an open kitchen and family room, powder room and the primary bedroom suite. Upstairs are two family bedrooms with bath, and a large office, which has permitted capped plumbing in the walls to create a second full primary/fourth bedroom.Pass through french doors in the family room and master bedroom to the backyard, where a pebbletec pool and jacuzzi with soothing waterfall sit next to a gas fire pit patio and a dining area set in olive trees. Landscape lighting and Bose garden speakers set the tone for this entertainment paradise, which leads to a glass-fronted ADU/pool house/guest house with bar.https://luxesource.com/article/west-hollywood-home-channels-provence-paul-williger
