Some homes almost catch you off guard with the kind of presence they have. When I first walked around Owlwood in Holmby Hills you can feel all the years the stories even a little weight of its history. There is just something about the way sunlight falls across those tall old windows and the deep quiet that sits over the lawns that makes you slow down and take a breath. I think if you stand for a bit at the grand entrance you will get what I mean. You cannot help but notice the size of this place. Ten acres in the middle of Los Angeles is not something you come across every day and honestly it is hard to picture until you stroll under the trees and let yourself see how wide everything spreads out in every direction. The house itself stands in the middle of it all just kind of holding court with its wood paneling and curved rooms and that grand stair hall that seems built for someone to sweep down in the middle of a party back in the old days.

There is something about a home designed in the nineteen thirties by Robert D Farquhar that just gives you a sense of confidence that this was always meant to be more than just a house. The living room could fit a crowd but still feels like somewhere you could actually open up a book and sit by the fire. I found myself walking into the oval sun room and just wanting to stand there for a while doing nothing except letting the morning brighten up the space. Even the formal dining room feels like it might welcome anything from a celebration to a quiet dinner with a few friends. There are details everywhere just waiting to be noticed. If you take the stairs up that sweep in a curve that is almost movie like you end up in a master suite that is bigger than some flats in the city and offers all the privacy you can dream of.

And the history here is something you notice in small ways. Maybe it is the way some corridors feel like they have seen stories or the fact that people like Tony Curtis and Sonny and Cher have called this place home before. People say Los Angeles is always changing but Owlwood kind of reminds you that some things really do last. Plus what really stands out if you are walking around outside is the space itself. The gardens seem to go on and on. I actually watched a few birds in the trees and just let my mind wander for a bit. You get rolling lawns that almost feel like a park but private only for you and whoever is lucky enough to be invited. Then you have a real tennis court not one tucked away in a corner but placed right out so you can play with the late afternoon sun shining in and maybe a few friends cheering you on from the sidelines. The pool is Olympic size so actually big enough to swim proper laps or just float around with a drink on a warm day. There is a pool house that makes you think of long weekends and summer parties and maybe the occasional quiet morning with coffee and just the sound of water in the background.

Now the nine bedrooms mean you really can have family or guests stay and nobody feels like they are in the way. Everyone has some space to breathe. This is the sort of villa that gives you your own world in the middle of one of the most famous cities anywhere. All around you the Holmby Hills neighborhood has those tree lined streets and long driveways where folks still nod hello in the morning. You will always find a coffee shop or a place to walk not far off. Hollywood is close enough but it feels miles away. Some evenings you see kids riding bikes and you remember what old Los Angeles was supposed to be like.

If you are looking for a property in California that really does set its own standard Owlwood at 141 S Carolwood Dr is worth your time. The only real way to know how it feels is to see it yourself. So if you are curious or want to talk about what moving here might actually be like I am always here.
