This Bel Air John Elgin Woolf-designed residence, his personal home, is one of his finest restored works. Known as the Father of Hollywood Regency, Woolf's iconic design is a key piece of LA architectural history. Jack Wolf masterfully blended traditional and modern design for a unique, glamorous style. Restored and reimagined by RIOS under Mark Rios FAIA FASLA and featured in Architectural Digest, this 8,400sf gem blends timeless elegance, fresh modern elements, bespoke upgrades and refined spaces for elevated living and entertaining. Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre behind private gates, soaring hedges and a large motor court, this thoughtfully designed home features 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms and striking details like skylights, bold colors, mirrors and glass walls. Iconic Woolf elements in the oval windows and oversized Pullman doors preserve the home's original Hollywood Regency character. The soaring foyer with wood floors and floor-to-ceiling glass walls is flooded with natural light. At the heart of the home, a tranquil courtyard artfully divides the cocktail lounge from the Red Library Room. The spacious cocktail lounge features a sculptural fireplace, anchored by a custom floating black polished bar, built-in shelving, original sconces, sitting area and wraparound glass walls framing the grounds. The Red Library Room features a marble-clad fireplace, herringbone wood floors, bespoke built-ins and floor-to-ceiling shelving, complemented by a 100" TV home theater system for a cinematic experience. This wing also houses two elegantly appointed bedroom suites, each with unique design elements, including vibrant bathroom suites. A main floor third bedroom suite completes the sleeping quarters. The two-story formal dining room features expansive walls for art and an original Woolf antique mirrored ceiling with skylights. Signature Woolf elements, including the original mirrored dining table, anchor the space, preserving Hollywood Regency charm and elevating its grandeur. The sleek, all-black and stainless-steel gourmet kitchen pairs discreet Bulthaup cabinetry with top-tier appliances, an elongated wood butcher block island and a secondary working kitchen. The octagonal breakfast room opens into a glass-walled pavilion with custom cabinetry and serene views. Double doors lead to the swimming pool area with sunken living room, fire pit and Moroccan-inspired glass pavilion. Stone paths lead to a serene koi pond, complemented by a pavilion with outdoor kitchen. Inside, ascend the sculptural staircase, framed by glass walls to the primary suite sanctuary, where a balcony overlooks lush grounds, complemented by dual spa-inspired bathrooms and custom walk-in closets. One bathroom showcases bold black marble, textured wall coverings and a spacious closet, which connects to an adjoining bedroom suite (currently an office). The second bathroom dazzles with white marble, a custom Rios-designed stone soaking tub, a marble vanity and walk-in closet with chic dressing room and elevator. Additional amenities include a wine room, separate fully equipped gym with en-suite bathroom (can also function as a guest suite), house manager's office, utility room and a two-car garage, all enhanced by state-of-the-art integrated music, entertainment and lighting system. The property also offers a rare opportunity for an accessory building or ADU with a separate street entrance. This home presents a distinctive yet very comfortable way to live, offering refined living and tranquility within this exclusive enclave of Bel Air.
