This large 3 acre estate in the Holmby Hills features an English country house by Hablinski/Manion Architects with a beautiful tan brick facade and dark mahogany wood trim. The owner expressed an attraction to perennial gardens in the style of Gertrude Jekyll, a legendary, early 20th century English garden designer who specialized in color-specific perennial borders exhibiting wildness within a structured space.

The main part of the rear garden is dominated by a Great Lawn surrounded by 3 strong color-specific perennial borders of yellows, reds/burgundies/magentas, and pinks. The corners are anchored by groves of sycamore trees within a formal woodland circle.

Other garden features include a mulberry arbor where young mulberry trees are being trained onto a metal frame to form a covered seating area, an herb knot garden, a statuary garden, a pool area with hot oranges and reds behind a boxwood hedge, a fruit orchard, a gazebo along a woodland path, and a family terrace perennial garden planted in blues, purples, and whites.
