About This Home
As of March 2023When world-renowned designer Holly Hunt and her developer son Trent Tackbary set out to renovate, they only had designer eyes for idyllic Hancock Park. In 537 N Cherokee, they chose a home overflowing with charm. They maintained those charming elements, including the original floors, stairway railing and moldings, while modernizing and arranging the layout more logically. The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath main house showcases original Spanish elements at the entry, while boasting large living spaces and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the pool and hot tub. The expansive primary has two oversized closets, a spa-like bathroom and connects to a 420 square foot brand new deck. They added a fully permitted, remarkable ADU with soaring ceilings, kitchenette, dishwasher, laundry unit and full bathroom that is a truly aspirational office, bedroom or pool house. With Holly and Trent choosing every finish and fixture, this is a must-see, high-end reimagining done right.
