Step into Villa Vallombrosa -- the home of writer and interior decorator Annie Kelly, where every corner feels like a curated museum and holds a story of famed former tenants.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com
Nestled within the iconic Hollywood landscape, Villa Vallombrosa is a historical cultural monument built in the 1920's that was once home to New York socialite and antiquitarian Eleanor Dewitt. It's Tuscan Venetian style exudes timeless elegance and a rich tapestry of history, as it sits perched above Watsonia Terrace in the historic Whitley Heights area of Los Angeles. Annie and her husband, renowned photographer Tim Street-Porter, have preserved its original charm while infusing it with their own unique narrative.
From the intricate details of the curved, concrete facade to the whimsical charm of the Juliette balcony, each element has been lovingly maintained to honor the home's heritage. It is a treasure trove of antiques and mementos gathered from their world travels.

I moved to LA in ‘82 and the first place I lived was in the Whitley Terrace, supposedly the first place for wannabes. The houses above us captured my imagination and I longed to visit them. Well, here I am 30 odd years later, and you made it possible. Thanks so much for a dream come true. Your home is exactly as I imagined. Wonderful decor!!!

My sister lived in a stair house in Whitley too when she first landed in LA in the early '90s. Now she has a great apartment in the historic Krotona (Beachwood Canyon). There are some real hidden gems in those hills.

That gem is called Villa Vallombrosa and it was built in 1929 by Eleanor De Witt !! It's featured in Dream Palaces of Hollywood's Golden Age by David Wallace !! It's famously called "the House of Oscars" after it was "discovered" that nearly everyone who lived there prior to 1949 either won or was nominated for an Oscar 😅 !! It was also featured in the June 2005 issue of House Beautiful, as you can see I'm absolutely fascinated by this house !!

OK! FINALLY! A designer who gets the TRUTH! YES!... a home's interior should reflect and connect to the home's architecture! Annie, you are an astute, thoughtful, and very talented designer. Ideally, it is the true designer's quest to bring forward the themes, ideology, location, and history of the home. When a designer works in this way the home will be truly classic and timeless, and it will feel much larger as it will be an EXTENSION of the architecture rather than an impediment of the architecture. I so long for the time when the days of the "eclectic contemporary mix" are behind us. Thank you Annie for sharing your stunning home and work with us!

Decorating a house, to make it feel like you bought it with the original furnishings, is a true art. You have managed to capture rhe 'soul' of the house beautifully. The Syrian wardrobe is a real statement piece. As you said, it's a bit like stage setting a fantasy.
