Prominent California architects Buff and Hensman designed this dream home in the Hollywood Hills. But recently, after the property suffered years of neglect and old age, the current owners undertook a massive restoration project to bring the once vibrant residence back to its former glory. And, oh, how well it turned out. Today, the property, featured on onefinestay, is a dream of natural light that streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan, spacious rooms, and lots of plush spaces for outdoor livin'. Anyone up for a dip?

The spacious living room, lined with reclaimed wooden panels, is the perfect spot for entertaining guests, one of the current owner's renovation requirements.
