In that regard, it's perfectly nice in its fake "old money"comforts. Certainly, it's much nicer than Kurt Rappaport's pitiful and misconceived construction in Bev Hills. Gallin knows how to make a house turn-key comfortable and the finishes are always "top drawer" (as none of his relatives would ever have said). My problem is that the house sits right on the street without any privacy, an impressive approach, or any parking. Also, Siena is not a particularly nice street to support a $32million house. That said, a lot of rich people in this town like instant gratification and they can have it with this joint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-50901697454939449432009-06-01T13:57:10.015-07:002009-06-01T13:57:10.015-07:00Word has it that Paul W and Miss Jane Waddington W...Word has it that Paul W and Miss Jane Waddington Wyatt are SPINNING over Missy Gallin's desecration...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-39580588405091858222009-05-31T04:56:16.175-07:002009-05-31T04:56:16.175-07:00I am from Magritte country.

THe Exterior ...Sandy Gallin's House is beautiful...<br />THe Exterior has been restored, and extended, and i believe that the architecture has been improved, not butchered. It has been done in a way that reflects the past and the future. The back of the house looks truly gracious, and i could stare at it for hours.<br /><br />Inside the house is gorgeous. The interiors have been achieved with absolutely perfect tones. The monochromatic cream/beige colors are kept from being boring, and underwhelming through the varying of shades, and textures, as well as from the color induced by the outside greenery, and the art on the walls. The rooms themselves, are perfectly proportioned, and are formal, and at the same time wonderfully livable, with a relaxed feeling. And there's even plenty of room for guests.<br /><br />The grounds themselves are also amazing. That pool, those outdoor fireplaces, the lights, the stonework, the hidden spots to sit and read etc etc. I love it all. Landscaping must have cost a fortune. And my favorite thing is the tree lined gravel driveway/motor-court. What a perfect way to arrive home. ITs so refreshing to see such a large expensive house, done over with restraint, with an eye to making things both livable, but also completely drool-worthy to look at. One of the most tasteful houses i've seen in years!!!<br /><br />Now all thats left,is for me to persuade some banker to lend me 32 million, i promise i'll make the re-payments...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-68408894066604284902009-05-29T23:01:32.145-07:002009-05-29T23:01:32.145-07:00I agree with Anonymous @ 10:20 PM and pch.

Although Mr. Gallin's renovation/addition may appeal to the taste of today's Bel-Air Billionaires, I think it is a shame that he altered a classic Paul Williams home beyond recognition. I was so pleased to see how well Jane Wyatt had maintained the integrity of the original house when I saw the previous listing last Spring. Also, the gardens were absolutely beautiful. In my opinion, a little restraint and a more respectful design would have been much better... very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-90959724480607424032009-05-29T22:22:44.201-07:002009-05-29T22:22:44.201-07:00too damn much beigey pickled wood. yuck.

That, to me, is worse than building a McMansion. <br /><br />Second, the inside to me looks no different than Kurt Rapports house of N Cresent in Beverly HIlls.<br /><br />While the grounds and exterior are more charming than many McMansions... the interior is similar it could be confused with LeAnn Rhimes Nashville McMansion... which ya'll hated just cuz it was a new build.

But, based on the images in that slide show, I'd be hard-pressed to identify this as an original Paul Williams design. The street facade and staircase are still there, but they're stranded, out of context, in something that no longer seems to have the sensibility that makes a Paul Williams a Paul Williams. It's a nice house, sure, but Gallin has virtually obliterated its Williams-ness in my eyes. Highly personal take, not one I expect anyone to share. But this has left me a bit depressed.pchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283315335849825659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-75507708707040223052009-05-29T13:35:32.592-07:002009-05-29T13:35:32.592-07:00Another brilliant post.

re: Sandy Galin, O...Great article Mama, thank you.<br /><br />re: Sandy Galin, Ohh come onnn. He only paid $7MM for the property at the height of the housing market, and now wants an astounding $32MM? Even taking into consideration his overhaul of the place and improvements, that's more than 4 times what he paid for it. Traditional shells with properly modernized interiors make me swoon too, but even people with more money than brains gotta know better at this point. I sense a reality check coming in Mr. Galins not-too-distant future. <br /><br />I totally sympathize with your friend Fiona Trambeau's fear of flying Mama. I was always a white knuckle, seat arm clutching, feet trying to apply a brake to the floor flyer myself, especially during takeoffs and landings, until a short flight out of Washington D.C. that ran into severe turbulence cured me of it permanently. I now take the leisurely, scenic route aboard a train when I have to travel, and highly recommend it for anyone fed up with poor service en route and what you have to go through at airports these days.angeleyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-48047883347405889642009-05-29T09:21:53.558-07:002009-05-29T09:21:53.558-07:00Its a really nice house, but the $30mil house on B...Its a really nice house, but the $30mil house on Benedict Canyon is far more value for money than this.Garfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-77207745548273376272009-05-29T09:14:28.917-07:002009-05-29T09:14:28.917-07:00http://sienalandmark.com/
