A sumptuous seating area.
Fashion designer Jerry Lorenzo first came on the scene in 2013 when he launched his Los Angeles-based luxury streetwear label Fear of God. The clothing line has a cult-like following, including Kanye West, David Beckham and Justin Bieber, to name a few. The designer’s signature style is inspired by the hip-hop and grunge scenes of the ‘80s and ‘90s, which he translates into everyday pieces. Bombers, flannels, leather pants and even athletic-wear define his classic brand.
It comes as no surprise, then, that Lorenzo’s home is a stylish haven that pairs effortless living with high design. The newly listed home, called the Nottingham House, is situated in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood and was first built in the 1930s. After purchasing the property in 2018 for $8.5 million, Lorenzo tapped AD100 design firm Clements Design to meticulously renovate the interiors. Mother-and-son designers Kathleen and Tommy Clements are known for their simplistic, yet elegant approach to interiors. Easy glamor, sensuous austerity and grand intimacy define most of their work—and this property is certainly no exception.
The sleek kitchen.
The 7,200-square-foot home has six bedrooms and nine bathrooms filtered throughout multiple levels. The home is moody and masculine, yet warm and inviting thanks to carefully curated finishes and rich textures. The home’s gathering place is the sumptuous, sunlit living room, complete with a fireplace and views of the lush backyard. The home has several architectural details that have been replicated from the original home, such as ornate crown moldings, grand archways and other decorative detailing sprinkled throughout. No room was an afterthought. The kitchen in particular is a gourmand’s dream, with state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinetry, and smooth marble countertops and backsplashes.
“The home was originally built by the founder of Ralphs Grocery in the 1930s,” says Tyrone McKillen of Official, who is listing the home. “It was then rebuilt by a developer who completely renovated the house. Jerry, who is a true artist and amazing, world-class designer, bought it and brought in Clements Design. Together, they collaborated on the design.”
The backyard pool area.
Other rooms include an office with a private terrace, a formal dining room, and sitting area. Upstairs, the luxe primary suite has a monolithic fireplace and a private terrace with a seating area, plus a massive walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. The home is orientated around the backyard, which features a pool, outdoor seating area, sports court, and a detached guest house. Ample lawn space and al fresco dining options make this the ultimate backyard for hosting and entertaining. There’s also an expansive and serene garden with Japanese maple trees, water features, and sculptural seating.
Lorenzo tapped Clements Design to help design the interiors.
The property is conveniently located near Griffith Park, trendy restaurants, and great shopping. Lorenzo, who considered this his primary home with his wife and children, is selling to focus on other design projects and continue building his ascending business and career. Though he’s selling this Los Feliz property, he isn’t leaving L.A. In fact, he recently shelled out $20 million for a circa-1949 estate in the mountains above Beverly Hills.
