When the then New York City-based fashion designer turned interior design consultant Erin Fetherston, who has developed a huge following that admires her chic, flowy dresses but hasn’t presented a collection since 2017, she became pregnant with her first child, her and hers. Pop-punk player turned music director, Gabi Saporta’s husband, has set his sights on West Coast real estate. Featherstone, who she consulted on interiors for Tinseltown owners like Jenna Dewan, Jamie Lynn Siegler and James van der Beek, grew up in the bucolic Bay Area community of Piedmont, she said in interviews, with a baby boy on the way who sought more room to roam than they would allow The confines of their loft apartment in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood.
They scratched their West Coast property itch in late 2015 with the nearly $2.9 million purchase of an old Tudor-style country house behind a high wall on a busy street in West Hollywood. The home, which they purchased from Joe Jonas, quickly got a “bright and airy,” almost all-white makeover with the help of the folks at One Kings Lane Interior Design. The house is frequently featured on Fetherston’s Instagram.
Fetherston-Saportas has bounced between Los Angeles and New York for a few years, but tax records show that they sold their 3,500-square-foot Tribeca loft, which was also airy, bright, and mostly monochromatic, in fall 2019 for $6.7 million, Which is a big profit on the $4.33 million that Fetherston paid for the place back in 2007, when she was just 26 years old.
Now, after six years in West Hollywood, and the birth of a second child, the elegant couple is permanently entrenched in the City of Angels and has upgraded their housing conditions with the $5.6 million purchase of a matching and luxurious red-brick Georgian home in the historic and aristocratic Windsor Square neighborhood, an enclave A leafy of picture-perfect streets lined with beautifully maintained houses of various styles and architectural styles.
Built in 1920, the three-story home spans just over 5,000 square feet and has four, perhaps more bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, plus a separate guest suite above the garage. Updated in recent years, the residence retains many of the original architectural details, including glossy polished quarter-sawn hardwood floorboards, coffered ceilings, operable mahogany pocket doors throughout the main floor, and shoulder-high rises in the formal dining room.
With a black marble fireplace as a gracious focal point, the formal living room adjoins a den overlooking the backyard, while the generally upscale, upscale kitchen flows into the sun-kissed breakfast room. Each of the two guest rooms on the second floor has its own bathroom, and the two-room master suite consists of a spacious sitting/dressing room with custom built-in appliances and a luxurious, if outdated, bathroom. The 1,000-square-foot attic has been transformed into a unique multi-purpose space with an open bathroom. Numerous skylights ensure plenty of natural light and a drop-down staircase climbs through a glass hatch to the roof, which wraps around views of the neighborhood.
Outside, by the pool and spa in the backyard, there is a small patch of lawn and a built-in grill. The two-car detached garage includes a pool, and upstairs is a bedroom and a charming guest bathtub under a vaulted ceiling and wood beams.
Fetherston is supposed to give every square inch of the space the kind of luster, airy, often monochromatic, family-friendly that has become her signature home design style.
