Home of the Week: A walk in the park in Holmby Hills
Tucked within a curtain of tropical landscaping, this gated estate in Holmby Hills appears right at home in its park-like surroundings.
Holmby Park, a celebrity favorite over the years, fronts the entrance to the refined French Regency, designed by Caspar Ehmcke and built in 1966. At the other end of the property, rolling greens and the fairways of the Los Angeles Country Club provide a scenic canvas for grounds that include a two-story guesthouse and a quatrefoil-shaped swimming pool.
