NIMES ROAD: Classic Dream

875 Nimes Road, Los Angeles, CA

This amazing 1930's estate in Holmby Hills is on the market- 
With interiors by Henri Samuel- sited on 10 acres in prime west Los Angeles- its imposing grandeur inspires me a la Walter Mitty- reduced from $245 mill to $195 mill- google 875 Nimes Road to learn more and gain further divine inspiration - 

And speaking of inspiration, I was mightily
 inspired by the new Quentin Tarantino film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood -with Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie playing Sharon Tate - ! Stunning cinema verite' !  Enjoy! DF
