HOUSE TOUR | A 100 Year-Old Spanish Home in the Hollywood Hills

Interior designer Elizabeth Law takes us inside her beautiful 100 year-old home in California.

Built in the historic Hollywoodland development in 1923, Elizabeth Law’s home is a celebration of Spanish architectural design, seamlessly blending the past with the present.

Law’s personal signature style, characterized by a fusion of brutalist, art deco, vintage, and antique elements, creates a unique and charming ambiance in every nook and cranny. The Mediterranean influence weaves warmth and inviting vibes into the slightly over 2,000 square feet home. Classic Spanish revival arches frame the spaces, offering a visual journey that evokes both nostalgia and contemporary flair.

One of the standout features is the effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living, embodying the classic California lifestyle. The entrance opens into a picturesque courtyard, allowing natural light to playfully dance through the interiors. It's a space that exudes relaxation and captures the essence of a Mediterranean retreat.

Law’s commitment to preserving the era's essence is evident in her careful approach to renovations. Each update enhances the home's charm while remaining faithful to its historical roots. The result is a residence that pays homage to its heritage while catering to modern sensibilities. Enjoy!

Hollywood in the 1920s was a magical time. To live in a Spanish style house from that era would be a dream. This young lady is so right to preserve it in its era. It is charming.

Love that she respects the architecture and history of the house. I wish more people would do that especially in LA

Spanish style homes are extremely classy and some over 100 years old. Why don’t they make homes like this anymore? I’m always perplexed how suburban homes lack interest .

[olgavernor]

I am never tired of looking at Spanish homes. There is something magical there. So glad to hear that lots of original elements are safe and staying ❤

[jimandjudyc]

A real gem, and it’s so nice that this young woman appreciates its provenance and style.

[yvonnem]

Glad to hear she’s over open concept layouts. I have an 1908 home and love that each room has its own personality :)

[MsAnneofgreengables]

I felt so happy as she showed us through her home. She has exercised restraint and stewardship — rare qualities these days. I didn’t worry or feel stressed about the choice of art or a wall that had been knocked down, or whatever. Leaving the courtyard as-is was the right choice. She understands the architecture and goes with it. I wish her many happy and successful years in her chosen profession. She is a real and rare talent.

Prior to my husband’s passing, we also had a 100 year old home near Pasadena and the finishes she highlights just made me smile. It was a privilege owning an historic home with hopes that future owners are also loving caretakers. Awesome video! 💕

Beautiful home! I love that she cooks in her amazing kitchen and she is preserving and restoring the character of this wonderful house. Thank you Homeworthy and to the gracious homeowner for another wonderful tour🎉

I am a native Californian (Los Angles area) and have been living on the eastern side of the country for 20 years. I had friends who lived on Beachwood Drive and so it was an extra pleasure to see this episode. Bravo to "Law" for appreciating the histoic integrity of her Spanish home! That kitchen is jewel and the bathroom is a classic. What a treat to watch and thank you for another excellent episode.

[karenstanislaw]

Obviously an educated, sophisticated young woman. Beautiful home.

[TheOneAndOnlyRRR]

Thank you for being so dedicated to preserving this beautiful home! As a native Angelino, it breaks my heart to see all these people move to LA, buy homes only to tear them down or rip out all of their original details

[mareesimonis]

This home hits just the right spot aesthetically with good light, a feeling of space and a relaxed indoor/outdoor feeling. So relieved Law is paying attention to the original style. The colour choice for the kitchen cupboards is perfect against the kitchen tile. Also strongly agree with maintaining separate rooms so much more intimate. A 10 out of 10 for me!

I grew up in Los Angeles and the Spanish architecture feels like home to me. This home with the courtyard is stunning, comfortable yet elegant and I love the eclectic styles that come together in such a lovely way. I’m familiar with the area the home is in and it’s a beautiful section of the Hollywood Hills. A dream of a home…thank you for sharing.

[suewalker]

This young lady has an "old soul"; her love for the vintage aspects of this home is a pleasure. Eclectic fits the personality of the home owner. You can definitely see the influence of her youth sprinkled throughout.You never see an ugly Spanish style home. The vintage main bathroom would be fun to put a wonderful wallpaper. Lovely!!

[presley_yt]

This is one of my favorite house tours! Absolutely love the Spanish homes and relaxed vibe.

[ritaroad]

I like that this house is not sterile. It’s cozy and beautiful. I too love individual rooms in a house. I love the kitchen as is. You and your mother did a great job.

[kathyestes]

What a fantastic home! She has made it more authentic and beautiful. I live in California and know how lucky she is to have this lovely place.

[rosehill]

Oh my, that French black wrought iron chandelier in the dining room steals the show. A lovely home with great flow, perfect for entertaining or just quietly enjoying the outdoors. Who has a Juliette balcony practically inside an old Avocado tree? Love her sense of style and how she made a variety of styles seamlessly work together. Those Talavera tiles were the perfect choice. Love her art choices throughout the home. A mix of quiet elegance, French and Spanish aesthetics, a penchant for understatement and interesting antiques alongside global design influence that all well-traveled people seem to acquire. Lovely home, a talented designer, and a truly inspiring, enjoyable tour! THX!

I love what she’s done with this house and think she has great style. It’s beautiful!
