Billionaire Heiress Maxine Heargraves-Adams Picks Up Chic Modern in L.A. for $5.4M

Published: December 28, 2019 | By: American Luxury Staff

Matalan heiress Maxine Hargreaves-Adams bought a perfect little holiday gift, one that should make trips to the Los Angeles area much more pleasant: a tasteful high modern residence on a Westside hillside overlooking the ocean.

The spot is fairly spectacular: a green gradient sloping down to the sea. The area is packed, and the home is on a tight lot, but the flora makes up for the lack of breathing room.

The house is inviting, angular and glassy. The interiors boast a partial reversal—the concept ceilings that display abrupt planar intersection also receive the hardwood plank reserved for flooring. The floors, meanwhile, are in dark slate throughout the home. The motif is revisited in most rooms, with the occasional ceiling truss emphasizing both the uncompromising, cerebral geometry and the warmth of stained timber.

The home’s exterior living space is considerable, given the limitations of the lot: a large deck that overlooks the rolling green of a particularly attractive corner of PacPal.

Hargreaves-Adams is the owner of fashion brands Nicole Farhi and Fenn Wright Mason. She purchased both brands in the first years of the decade, and brought them both back from the brink.
