Meet an L.A. Spanish-style home reimagined by renowned designer Holly Hunt. A project she found and forged together with the seller, her developer son Trent Tackbary, the pair transformed the 4,245-square-foot charmer and it’s now listed for $4.995 million.
Born and raised in West Texas, Hunt has since become a household design name. The designer opened her first Holly Hunt Design showroom in Chicago in 1983, but over the years has expanded across the country, while also setting up shop across the pond in London. Employing neutral tones and sleek lines, Holly Hunt’s touch simultaneously elevates and simplifies any space.
This Hancock Park property was a splendid find when the designer and her son were on the hunt for a residence to renovate. Now bright and minimalist in its style, the rooms boast contemporary ease while still keeping ornate details like the home’s original floors, archways, and moldings the stars of the show. The main floor makes entertaining easy with its open-concept design, flowing seamlessly from the large kitchen to the living room, and then outside to keep the party going.
A captivating staircase fitted with a beautiful wrought-iron railing moves to the second floor, which holds three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The primary suite is a light-filled sanctuary with two closets and a 420-square-foot deck just for the future heads of the household. The backyard also has an additional space for guests to stay or to use as a office/studio, with a kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom.
Hunt and her son made meticulous design choices to ensure that the home’s design was to the highest quality. Jacqueline Gunn of Avenue 8 holds the listing.
