New to the market in Los Angeles, California, is a recently restored home just a stone’s throw from the popular Larchmont Boulevard. The residence is nestled on a tree-lined street in the Windsor Square neighborhood, and offers over 2,000 square feet of interior space, including four bedrooms, three baths, and sun-kissed living areas with plenty of character.
The 2,029-square-foot residence is located in Windsor Square, a small, historic neighborhood in the Wilshire region of Los Angeles. In 1921, at the time of completion, the home was the only property on its block.

The dwelling, which features a blend of English, Spanish, and Craftsman details, was the first on its block, and has only switched hands once since being built 100 years ago. "We purchased the home from the original owner, who had lived there since she was a year old," states writer Heather John Fogarty, who bought the property in 2007 with her partner, John.
Inside, original wood moulding lines the main living room, where a broad hearth takes center stage. The vintage table lamps resting behind the sofa are from Big Daddy, and sport custom shades from Hollywood at Home. The floral design is by Lily Lodge.

Since acquiring the residence nearly 14 years ago, the couple have treated the space to a complete restoration, prioritizing its architectural splendor while also integrating modern touches for functional, everyday living.
"John and I both grew up in England and immediately fell in love with the charm and original details of the home," says Heather. To spotlight the traditional built-ins, they used high-gloss Farrow & Ball paint, which they offset with midcentury furniture throughout, such as the Guillerme & Chambron oak stools and a Jacques Adnet leather and iron chair.
The formal dining area, dressed in a neutral color palette, is connected to the living room and features a row of picture windows overlooking the adjacent outdoor spaces.
