The century-old dwelling features original details restored to their lustrous sheen, all complemented with tasteful updates for modern living.
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 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.
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.
