JUST LISTED | 419 Huntley Dr | RARE “Maison Lumiere” in West Hollywood | Offered at $5,850,000

4 Bedroom • 4 Bathrooms • 3,152 SF

“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.” 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.
