Having just shucked their Beverly Hills project home for almost $22 million, model and fashion designer Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge, her significant other and founder of record label 10K Projects, found themselves in a buying mood, and settled on this 10,779 sq. ft. 21st-century traditional above Sunset Boulevard. The duo shelled out $26.9 million for the six-bed, eight-bath home, according to Dirt.
The main section of the house features a symmetrical façade; its first level has been nearly entirely occupied by vines, giving the 2003 rebuild the atmospherics of the original prewar residence. The personality established by this first impression carries through the interiors and even to the back of the property, where formal garden design, groomed lawns, tightly clipped hedges, and a rectangular pool and companion cabana help fill out the .74 acres of grounds.
A look inside reveals living and dining rooms that err on the side of the ceremonious; coffered ceilings, crystal chandeliers and, at the time of the sale, ponderous curtains. Things lighten up somewhat in the kitchen, where a high-dollar cottage style prevails, and in the family room, which features a hipped ceiling, a bit of tongue-and-groove or plank as a wall finishing material, and several sets of multi-pane French doors opening onto one of the covered patios.
The house’s backyard is a lengthy expanse of natural lawn; it stands between the home and the gardens and pool, and features a firepit lounge rimmed with a U-shaped bench seat.
