7728 Woodrow Wilson Dr

There are homes defined by architecture, others by landscape. 7728 Woodrow Wilson Drive, the latest creation by OME DEZIN, belongs equally to both. Completely gated and set behind an automated driveway gate on just over an acre of exceptionally private grounds in Upper Nichols Canyon's prestigious "Celebrity Row," this 4,910-square-foot residence was originally designed by architect Jeffrey Mills in 1997 and feels more like a private European domaine tucked into the hills. Soaring volumes and a refined palette of timber, concrete, glass and stone create an unexpected balance of California modernism, restrained Brutalism and the warmth of a French country home. Expansive windows and glass doors draw the landscape inside, while the great room opens directly to the gardens and pool. A screening room/library, formal dining and reception space with an integrated bar, and a substantial kitchen with a La Cornue range and professional pizza oven make the home ideal for both intimate living and grand entertaining. Four bedrooms and 5.5 baths include a private ground-floor guest suite opening directly to the garden and pool. Upstairs, the grand primary suite features soaring ceilings, a fireplace, corner terrace and expansive dressing room. The primary bath is a true showstopper, with a dramatic freestanding marble tub commanding the center of the room, an oversized marble showers, soaring proportions and serene treetop views. Two additional upstairs bedrooms each feature a private balcony, walk-in closet and en-suite bath. The grounds are a world of their own, with mature trees and tropical landscaping surrounding a stunning pool. A mirrored sauna reflects the surrounding trees and greenery, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the landscape as though it were part of nature itself. A Jacuzzi, fire-pit lounge, outdoor kitchen, sculptural fountain, stepped waterfall and multiple terraces and garden rooms create an extraordinary setting for outdoor living. A gym, butler's pantry, covered two-car garage and gated driveway with parking for up to ten cars complete the property. Moments from Hollywood, West Hollywood, Los Feliz and the 101, yet remarkably removed from it all, 7728 Woodrow Wilson is distinctly Californian in its connection to nature, with an unmistakably European sense of proportion, material and the pleasure of living well.
