This property, originally owned by Errol Flynn, was recently the LA home of Grammy Award winning composer Moby and has intrigued the Los Angeles architecture and real estate circles.

The tour will conclude with a viewing of one of John Elgin Woolf’s most iconic projects: his 1940s Office and Residence on Melrose Place, where the key design elements and strategies of the “Architect to the Stars” were born.
