Los Feliz’s newest offering is less a showpiece than a study in calm, tactile luxury. Reimagined by Tanya Saban and Lucie Klimes of Broad Project, with Lauren Reichenberg of Compass as the listing agent, this 1920s English Tudor–inspired estate—approximately 4,600 square feet with a guest house—comes to market at $8 million with a posture that’s confident yet quiet. Hand-textured plaster, tumbled limestone underfoot, honest oak millwork, and leaded glass set a timeless register, while considered lighting acts like punctuation rather than decoration. Instead of chasing trends, the home privileges proportion, patina, and the pleasure of materials. What was once a duplex has been edited into a single, intuitive whole, so the architecture carries the story and the interiors exhale. The mood is serene and enduring—California ease filtered through Old-World character—making this a place meant to be lived in, not merely looked at.
Rather than overwrite history, Broad Project lets it breathe. Leaded windows, gentle arches, and artisanal ironwork ground the architecture, while a restrained interior language—a matte finish here, a time-worn leather there—keeps the mood quietly elevated. Scale is deliberately human; rooms are composed for conversation, not theatrics.
What ties the spaces together is touch. Oak millwork with visible grain, cognac leather, deep olive velvet, and stone washed in soft light create continuity from room to room. The palette is warm but edited; silhouettes are sculptural but never loud. Lighting—pendants with paper-like shades, slender sconces, the occasional vintage find—acts like punctuation, setting tempo without stealing the sentence.
Function follows the same quiet logic. A former duplex becomes a single, intuitive flow; built-ins disappear into walls; storage is thoughtful, not showy. Private areas continue the material story with greige plaster, tailored cabinetry, and soft textiles. Baths favor sculptural fixtures and honed stone; dressing spaces feel like lounges, not corridors. The house invites lingering—morning light on limestone, an evening conversation by the curved hearth—without demanding attention.
Outdoors, the calm continues. Mature trees and layered plantings wrap a stone-edged lap pool and spa; French doors from both the main house and guest house make the garden an extension of daily life. Terraces in pale limestone set an easy rhythm for dining, reading, doing nothing. It’s indoor-outdoor living at a whisper rather than a shout—California sensibility filtered through English Tudor bones.
In creative, leafy Los Feliz—with Griffith Park close by—this is a rare proposition: a home that honors character while embracing modern ease. More than a listing, it’s a quiet manifesto about how luxury should feel—timeless, tactile, and beautifully lived-in.
