133 La Jolla Avenue

Built for connection & designed with reverence for light, nature, & craft, this meticulously renovated French Country residence offers a rare balance of intimacy & ease in one of Los Angeles’ most coveted enclaves - Beverly Grove. The main home features 3 bedrooms & 3.5 bathrooms, anchored by vaulted ceilings with traditional French bent beams that lend an architectural quietude to the main living spaces. The palette is restrained, earthy, & textural — materials like Taj Mahal quartzite & custom inset cabinetry echo the tones of limestone & sun-washed linen. Every design gesture throughout the home favors intention over excess. At its center, the kitchen is both dramatic & deeply functional — starring a La Cornue French range & a hand-built hood. Hidden appliances, cleverly integrated power sources, & a discreet butler’s pantry maintain the space’s refined minimalism while offering everything needed for modern living or intimate hosting. Each of the 3 en-suite bedrooms is designed as a private sanctuary. The primary suite bathes in natural light, with views to the heated pool & oversized spa just beyond. Its bathroom features handmade French tiles, a soaking tub, & a sense of stillness that invites retreat. Throughout the home, doors & windows frame views of flora native to southern France — citrus trees, climbing herbs, & soft-textured hedges that evolve with the seasons. Perhaps the most quietly surprising aspect of the property is its guest house — a separate dwelling with its own address. It was conceived not as an afterthought but as an equal counterpart: upstairs, a light-filled bedroom suite with cinematic city views; downstairs, a full kitchen, living room, & guest bath that expand the home’s capacity for hosting. The second kitchen includes Sabbath mode appliances, offering a thoughtful accommodation for kosher lifestyles or multi-generational living. As expected, the home includes modern luxuries — dual laundry facilities, a two-port high-speed EV charger, integrated indoor/outdoor sound, & a full security system — all discreetly embedded so the architecture & gardens can speak louder than the technology. Maison de la Terre is not loud or showy, its distinctiveness is felt in every detail — from the raw textures to the understated elegance. It’s a home that whispers instead of shouts, grounded in authenticity. The property can be gated & further privatized; an illustration of this possibility has been created by the designer.
