Hancock Park The Baker House by Elmer Grey
1201 SAINT ANDREWS PLACE, LOS ANGELES | $2,995,000 | 5 BD | 5 BA
Known as Country Club Park, a nod to the golf course previously sited there around the turn of the 20th century, this area was one of the first neighborhoods to feature prominent homes for the wealthy. After the golf course moved to Holmby Hills, those with means were building some of L.A.s most distinguished architectural homes in this neighborhood. The Baker House by Elmer Grey proudly exemplifies this as St Andrews Place is an exceptionally wide street and the home is sited on a 16,000 square foot corner lot.
Grey would be known for building in various styles and for residential and commercial alike with The Beverly Hills Hotel being one of his most famous structures. The Baker House is a fine example of English Tudor Revival. The foyer contains beamed ceiling and a gorgeous winding staircase. One of our favorite rooms has to be the dining area with its well cared for paneled wood walls, ornate ceiling and clerestory windows. The current owner has a clear eye for design. They have installed a modern Naomi Paul pendant lamp over the dining room table which nicely accentuates the classic design of the patterned ceiling. The home is awash in modern colors that compliment and bring fresh insight into this hundred-year-old design.
Lighting fixtures by Greta Grossman and Serge Mouille are sophisticated touches to this exceptional piece of architecture.The backyard is not to be missed. There is ample space for relaxation and play between a sizable deck, a sprawling lawn and the perfectly Hockney blue pool. There’s almost no reason to leave the premises.
