Arvin Haddad, known for his sharp property critiques, delves into a Hidden Hills gem crafted by Noble La, a designer with a penchant for modern barnhouse aesthetics tinged with Gothic cathedral vibes. This property, initially snagged by an NBA player for a hefty $17.5 million, later hit the auction block at $12 million, prompting Arvin to dissect where it all went awry. The house's exterior boasts a striking brick facade and unique design elements that scream Noble La's signature style, albeit one that Arvin fears may be veering into dated territory.
As Arvin strides through the property, he encounters a grand formal dining room that exudes a moody, masculine aura, complete with custom chandeliers that may not quite resonate with the conservative tastes of Hidden Hills buyers. The chef's kitchen, with its commercial-grade setup, impresses Arvin, though he wistfully notes the absence of a central island. Moving on to the gas fireplace assembly, Arvin commends the craftsmanship and execution, even if the overall palette may not quite hit the mark for the discerning Hidden Hills clientele.
The property's movie theater emerges as a standout space for Arvin, who appreciates its seamless integration into the home's design language. However, he questions the decision to place the theater off-center, a move he believes may have impacted the property's resale value. The family room, while spacious and well-furnished, raises eyebrows for veering too far into bachelor pad territory, potentially alienating the traditional Hidden Hills buyer demographic. Throughout the house, custom furniture and finishes curated by Max B add a bespoke touch, though Arvin hints at a sense of déjà vu across Noble La's projects, signaling a need for fresh design perspectives to avoid falling into a stylistic rut.
