While many luxury Los Angeles homes either lean modern and sculptural or ornate and grand, there is in-between. Especially in Los Feliz, a neighborhood known for its quaint, historic houses and boho flair.
This recently listed, Spanish-style abode there is a creative person’s dream hideaway. Owner and seller Emmy Ellison, who founded The deMaroc Collection, an online store that connects buyers with one-of-a-kind vintage and antique Moroccan rugs, designed the joyful interiors entirely herself. Her efforts earned it a feature in Architectural Digest and while she has hosted countless parties, birthdays, and occasions here, she told Hous. that she is going to miss her bedroom the most. She’ll miss looking out at the views of Downtown, where every night when her daughters were home, they would hop into bed and watch shows together.
Now, though, someone else has the opportunity to create just as many sentimental memories as Ellison did with her family. Listed for $6.5 million, the entirety of the five-bedroom home evokes lively spirit and character. It starts with the hand-painted abstract mural by Fromental depicting California’s mountains that sets a dramatic tone in the living room, flows through to the kitchen coated in dusty lilac-colored cabinets, and continues with a rustic feel in the guest house currently used Ellison’s studio for rugs.
Every corner of the circa-1923 home reveals personality and surprises, blending bold hues, playful patterns, and even tiny, unexpected touches. All kinds of different textures, prints, and shapes mingle easily, and everything looks like it has a story. Stepping outside, the grounds also showcase a sense of originality and authenticity. Lush gardens surround the expansive pool and the studio/guest house adds to the allure, making it feel like an artist’s private retreat.
Sonya Coke of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the Los Feliz listing. Maybe an interested buyer can even negotiate a few vintage rugs into the deal.
