536 Woodruff Avenue, Little Holmby

Prime Westwood’s prestigious Little Holmby is home to this impeccably maintained two-story Traditional residence. It’s a timeless expression of grace, refinement, and architectural integrity. Meticulously updated with extraordinary sensitivity to its original 1940s design, this home beautifully showcases its distinctive character while incorporating updates designed for today’s modern living.

Rich in understated sophistication, the interiors are filled with an abundance of natural light and subtle Art Deco Moderne influences. There are smooth curved, rounded walls, glass block accents and exceptional bespoke built-ins thoughtfully crafted to mirror the home’s architectural lines. This added character affords warmth at every turn. Window seats framed by custom display shelving create intimate moments throughout the residence, adding charm and artistry to the living spaces.

A welcoming formal entry hall, whispering quiet elegance, centers on a lovely staircase and a striking pendant chandelier. The floorplan offers generously scaled public rooms which include a stately living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room and an inviting family room with a corner fireplace. These spaces flow together easily for both gracious entertaining and relaxed daily living.

An ensuite guest bedroom and a powder room complete the main level.
