English country charm can be hard to find in sunny California. But this Beverly Hills home, listed at $2.4 million, offers all the ivy-draped gentility any Anglophile could want.
The 2,100-square-foot home - owned by Katherine Power, founder of Who What Wear, Byrdie and MyDomaine, and her husband, celebrity photographer Justin Coit - offers two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and fireplaces in almost every room. The exterior features a red-brick paved walkway, a blue door and matching shutters, and fig ivy adorning the front of the home.
The home makes a powerful impression, says Power. "It's a very emotional house when you walk in,” she explains. “You feel the character. I was attracted to the European feel.”
Leaded- and stained-glass windows, intricate moldings, and hardwood floors contribute to the home’s allure. The first-floor powder room is outfitted with the signature Beverly Hills Hotel palm leaf wallpaper for a touch of glamour.
Since purchasing the home in 2013, Power has given the bathrooms a cosmetic update, and installed a pool and built-in grill in the backyard, but has tried to stay true to the details of the 1937 home. Power also used the services of one of L.A.'s most famous interior designers, Estee Stanley, to style the home.
"The home is the perfect amount of everything,” Powers says. “Everything is spatially well laid out and has a lot of beautiful character.”
The listing agent for Power's home is Alex Brunkhorst at The Agency.
