Christophe Choo takes you on a virtual showing of a rare Paul Williams home in Little Holmby.

[@sailorforlifebestti3366]

This house shouldn't be altered at all. The beauty of it is its old 30's vintage appearance.

[@s.louisemcquaid3204]

I feel the same way. It’s rare to see the old Hollywood glam ☺️

[@goldenlady1213]

I ABSOLUTELY agree with you 1 million times and over. I would love to be able to call this home my own if I could.

[@johnwright2911]

Paul Williams!!! Please don't change this magnificent home!

[@Christophechoo]

I love his architecture. This was always one my favorite homes he designed.

[@crizzy8373]

I would want this house over any new construction any day!

[@Christophechoo]

I so agree, with few cosmetic changes it could be amazing as it was the day it was built.

[@chrisallen7911]

Hey Christophe ! I would like to very humbly tell you that the ceiling in the Grand Salon is more like 9-10 feet not 13 or 14. The paneling in the Den is Walnut. Paul Williams was one of the first architects to make lower ceilings popular. He usually kept spaces like the bedrooms and dining room, Den, etc. lower because he felt it was more intimate. I would say most of the downstairs is 9. Love this wonderful place and have every book and detail on Paul Williams I can find ! His works are masterpieces. I pray the new owners will keep all the details and chandeliers which really make the room. Thank you for showing it to us!

[@goldenlady1213]

Great Post !!!!! Thanks for reminding us of how great Mr. Williams was as an architect genius. I will definitely check out some books about him and his great works !

[@beingkitschroeder2507]

I love everything about this home. I am a true sucker for classic, traditional architecture.

I could move in this house and NOT change a thing, with exception of the pink color in the master. I love all the little sitting room areas and if I were buying I would want the furniture, chandeliers, etc. Magnificent. I wish it would be sold to someone who would keep it just the way it is.

[@Christophechoo]

This particular home has not changes in many many years which is rare.

[@creoleking8905]

This is a Beautiful home that should be a National Landmark because it was design by one of the few Black Architects that designed homes in Hollywood at that time. He would often remark that he designed beautiful homes on streets he could not live on. The bylaws would not allow homes to be sold to Blacks in Segregated Hollywood.

Christophe, I am glad that this listing went to you. Your appreciation for the special features, details, and background brings this "historic" home to life.

[@Christophechoo]

It has a small what we call California Basement, mostly just heaters and water heater.

[@james5460]

I love this, it's more a museum than a home. I appreciate the small details such as alcoves for statues. The home obviously was designed in an era when entertaining had a high priority, which also called for having live-in staff like a maid and so forth. That more or less has gone out of style. That is the main reason I would renovate it, to update the functionality rather than to "improve" it. I will note that once you start changing things, though, you destroy the symmetry planned out with exquisite detail by Paul Williams. One tiny example: you mention putting columns in the pavilion. Yes, I see that. However, the loggia there is a bookend to the one across the pool on the veranda. Once you start fiddling around with the original concept, you need real skill to not spoil the concept. Anyway, very interesting tour, a real exploration of how people lived back in the day.

[@NelsonClick]

You're absolutely right. The floorplan (not referring to color or decor) is exquisite. The house was deftly designed for formal entertaining with public rooms in a circuit. A circuit which can be immediately modified as needed by opening/closing doors. Every room is a different shape and size. The French influence is apparent in the proportions as nothing is bloated. An evident advanced skill shown by a gifted architect who understood living and lifestyle. I'm going to lookup more creations by this architect. I'd never heard of him before.
