Kelly Wearstler Reimagines a Classic Los Angeles Estate
Featured on the cover of Vogue Living Australia for its unforgettable interiors, this remarkable Brentwood Park estate is as much a work of art as it is a home. Originally designed by renowned architect Thomas Proctor and later transformed by acclaimed designer Kelly Wearstler, the residence showcases the bold textures, sculptural forms, and fearless creativity that have made Wearstler one of the most influential voices in contemporary design.
Tucked behind gates on a quiet street south of Sunset Boulevard, the residence—represented by David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties—immediately makes an impression with its commanding presence. While the architecture nods to a classic New England-inspired traditional estate, the interiors tell a far more layered and artistic story.
The property underwent a meticulous top-to-bottom renovation where no detail was overlooked. Wearstler’s redesign introduces rich textures, sculptural details, dramatic stonework, and earthy tones throughout the nearly-9,700-square-foot home. “After Kelly Wearstler’s renovation, the home has a fresh, more contemporary, whimsical young-at-heart feel,” said David Ravitz of the David Offer Team. These elements work in harmony to create spaces that feel both elevated and deeply inviting.
From the moment guests enter the foyer, the scale and craftsmanship become apparent. According to Chelsea Fixelle, also of the David Offer Team, these initial impressions are intentional, noting that “the stonework in the baths, kitchen, and entryway are all ‘wow’ moments in the house.” Upon entering, a sweeping curved staircase anchors the entry while dark-stained hardwood floors provide warmth and contrast against the lighter walls and natural light pouring in from oversized windows.
Entertaining spaces throughout the home are grand without feeling overly formal. The living room centers around a striking sculptural fireplace framed by carved stone elements, while the dining room offers a dramatic setting for hosting with statement lighting and elegant proportions. The home’s thoughtful floor plan allows these spaces to flow naturally into more relaxed gathering areas, making the estate equally suited for large-scale entertaining and everyday living.
At the center of the home is a spectacular great room designed for connection and comfort, with a chef’s kitchen pairing custom cabinetry with heavily veined stone countertops and integrated appliances for a sleek appearance. A large waterfall-edge island serves as both a functional workspace and a visual centerpiece. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast area and family room are bathed in sunlight, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. Just beyond the main gathering spaces, sliding doors open to a covered outdoor lounge complete with its own fireplace and entertaining areas. The grounds feel private and resort-like, featuring expansive grassy lawns, mature landscaping, multiple patios, a pool and spa, and even a putting green.
Beyond the design of the structure itself, the property provides a gateway to one of Los Angeles' most coveted communities. “The home offers a traditional neighborhood feel with tree-lined streets and beautiful homes,” Fixelle explained, “all within close proximity to the Brentwood Country Mart, the Farmer’s Market, bike and jogging paths, and the beach.”
The estate’s amenities feel more like those of an upscale resort than a traditional home. A state-of-the-art movie theater, sophisticated library, game room, and the expansive space upstairs create endless opportunities for entertaining and unwinding, while smart home technology, dual laundry rooms, extensive storage, and an oversized three-car garage add functionality behind the scenes. Just beyond the pool, a detached guesthouse serves as a stylish gym and poolside cabana complete with its own fireplace and bar, creating the perfect setting for laid-back afternoons or elevated outdoor entertaining.
As Ravitz concluded, the property represents a rare alignment of variables: “The architecture, design, quality of construction, prestigious location, and walkable lifestyle all contribute to this being a very special offering that has extremely broad appeal in today’s market.”
