A perfect exemplification of contemporary country style, this French-inspired home in Los Angeles has been expertly designed. The property spans 8,632 square feet and the home covers 3,096 SF with 4 beds and 3 baths. Minutes from both Larchmont Village and The Grove, this Miracle Mile abode is located in the center of Los Angeles. The C-shaped home surrounds a tranquil courtyard with designer details. Modern decor and old-world accents combine to create a tasteful mix of old and new. Priced at $2,995,000, 940 Hauser Blvd is listed by Farrah Brittany and Mauricio Umansky at The Agency.
From the exterior, this French cottage-inspired home appears quaint and unassuming. The manicured front yard leads to a fairytale entrance. While most of the home exists on a single level, there is a second-level movie room towards the back of the house. The indoor/outdoor layout complements the SoCal weather. The outside remains largely traditional, which makes the interior a stunning surprise.
Designed by House of Rolison, this home is an excellent example of the studio’s work. The avant-garde design group specializes in innovative living spaces. Led by a team of women, each interior is carefully curated with a modern client in mind. The home was purchased in 2022 and, to quote the original listing, was “in need of significant rehabilitation.” The House of Rolison gave the property a complete interior makeover.
Upon entering the home, the expansive ceilings showcase original wood barrel vaulting. The natural beams contrast the white oak flooring. House of Rolison chose to maximize the natural light and put the focus on the architectural details. The light, bright interior includes several organic accents. There are three wood-burning fireplaces throughout the home that have been modernized without losing their original charm.
The dining room has been designed to appear welcoming and refreshing. The vaulted ceiling with wood beams continues into this communal space. Laid-back without sacrificing sophistication, this room is intended for gathering.
The biggest aesthetic transformation is undoubtedly the kitchen. The cooking space has been modernized with a white marble stone island and pietra gray countertops. For appliances, House of Rolinson chose an ILVE stove, a Dacor fridge, and a Monogram dishwasher. The kitchen is fitted with details and accessories from Restoration Hardware. Ideal for entertaining, the space opens up directly to the courtyard.
Another example of the curated blend between modernism and vintage details, the bedrooms include several designer elements. Atomic pendant lights add visual interest to a largely minimalist space, and the wood floors have been stained in a light oak tone. Each bedroom has a beautiful view onto the exterior of the property.
High-end finishes permeate this property. This home also includes tumbled marble and limestone flooring. Personalized from end to end, the doors have been custom-crafted and Bluetooth speakers have been built-in throughout. In addition to the inner courtyard, there is a grassy yard in the back. The entire home is a visual representation of expert renovation.
